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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
