Well, I think if we had the hypothetical discussion on Bill coming to college a month ago….we would be basically Brady and Gronk laughing at it together.  

I mean there is a path for it to work.  A path for Dabo to win his 3rd natty I guess too.   I don’t think they are high % plays. 

I think we will know fairly quick if BB’s brand means that much in college football.  Have to see who leaves and jumps in the portal for him.  
 

 

Sounds like all of our portal guys are pulling their names out until they can talk to the new staff. I have a friend in Greensboro who has a lot of local sports connections and used to work for ESPN. There's a certain 5* 2026 QB committed to an SEC team who is evidently ready to flip on a dime to Carolina when Carolina really wasn't even in the running for him during his recruitment.

If you’re a top defensive recruit you are sending your tape to UNC (Mike Lombardi lmao) via courier. 

belichick was notorious for making rookie qbs look like morons. Imagine what he’s going to do to some 20 year old portal transfer at NC State. 

if you don’t want to watch unc win the ACC with the nations best defense and an offense running plays from the 19th century I don’t know what to tell you.

Our defense has been underperforming for a decade. The overall talent level is significantly higher than the results on the field. I'm not saying they're a top tier defensive roster, that's just not accurate. But they're also nowhere near being bottom of the barrel and that's what they've been in the field.

belichicks closest college comparison is Saban for obvious reasons  

I want you to lie back, get comfy, put on some Otis Redding, and look at Sabans first full recruiting class (2007 was kinda hurried and rushed)

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
