I’ve literally been begging and wishing for years for someone else to be relevant in the ACC boss.  As along as Clemson is in the ACC, I want other good teams. 

but I’m still going to side with Brady, Gronk and what 90% of UNC fans would have said about this move before it actually happened. 

Don’t worry, Duke is on the come up

It’s 20.5 million per school from the school.  Schools are allowed to pay players now and that is the cap from the school itself.  This excludes and 3rd party’s pacs…like politics.  Unless I’m understanding it wrong

they need a real salary cap or this is just really ugly really quick with NIL.  I hate to say it but todays college football needs to be run like the NFL to put teams on a even playing field when it comes to money

I think that’s what they are essentially trying to get to.  A cap.  NIL is a mess.

The UNC press corps is definitely in for a shock. Roy, Hubert, and Mack are always press friendly and good to aw shucks and yuck it up. Get ready for one word answers and a lot of glaring. LOL

I love it. Time to get serious around here. 

 

No more awful defense. His hardest job will be finding a QB. Other than that it should be easy to bring in talent. He's going to prepare you for the NFL.

This is correct, the $20.5 isn’t NIL money it’s revenue sharing money from the school. There isn’t a cap on NIL such as NIL collectives.

This will actually help UNC because they can use a large portion of revenue sharing money on the basketball team because there will be a lot of third parties looking to get involved with UNC football and funnel money to the program.

I'm not worried in the least about Xs and Os. I just hope he has an appreciation for how different it is appealing to recruits and coaching college players. Basically dealing with kids instead of grown men. That's going to be the hard part of the transition.

I would love to see him build what basically amounts to an NFL style front office in Chapel Hill. Dedicated scouts who double as recruiters. Hell, call up Dre Bly and beg him to come back and run that for us. He sucked as a DB coach but that man could recruit his ass off. Every program has "coaches" on the staff who are primarily there for recruiting purposes because that's what they're actually good at so fug it, stop bullshitting around. Literally have professional scouts/recruiters and don't have them dragging you down trying to coach.

So Mike Lombardi who was BB’s right hand man from 2014-16 is joining UNC as the GM. The Patriots won two SB’s during that time frame.

My goodness what a awful hire lol. Damn BB gotta go younger. This dude putting the old band back together. I can't think of a worst hire for a GM especially the college game smh.

Yeah I can see this ending in a shitshow. Bill will be abrasive as he always is and kids will just leap in the transfer portal asap.

With that said it is going to be interesting no matter what.

I heard a radio clip this morning and this was just prior to him accepting, that his main goal is get them ready for the NFL.  Sounded bitter that kids weren't better prepared for the NFL. Sure he talked about graduation rates and making them into men...yada, yada, but the whole making them pro-ready stuck out.  Again, it seemed like he had some pent up resentment in having to develop rookies.  He basically surmised that college is a NFL farm system, informally, but Bill said it out loud and meant it.

Possible and honestly, what better pitch to four and five star recruits (and maybe even more so to portal kids) whose ultimate goal is to play on Sundays? A lot of those kids just see the college game as a necessary pit stop on their way to the actual destination.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
