UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

[breepf]

yeah, it just adds more smoke to the fire that their origin was likely a sugardaddies/seekingarrangement type of app.

which is cringe AF and exactly why Jordon doesn't want it talked about.

she's trying to portray herself as some sort of GIRLBOSS! when she was very likely out there trolling for old, rich dick on an app, lmao.

"I bought her from the sultan of Brunei. There--are you happy?"

 

[GoHeelsweeeehoooo]

If the way they met is that embarrassing they need to come up with a good fake story to tell the media

Belichick better win a hell of a lot of football games pretty damn quickly or else all of the off-field stuff with him and the corresponding media pile-on is going to get really old really quickly. If we start, say, 2-3 or something like that- which is easily plausible with TCU, UCF, and Clemson in our first 5 games- it's going to get pretty tense around the program IMO.

Who knows, but I can understand why maybe she doesn't want their meeting-story blasted across national media. If it's even slightly embarrassing to her, why blab about it.

The two have been reporting that "they met on an airplane." I don't know why they wouldn't just continue that story rather than have her announce "we're not going to discuss it" unless some reporter or investigator has determined that they were not on the same flight prior to their relationship beginning.

I think he will get at least one year and probably two even if he goes two and nine.

Oh for sure, for sure. I totally agree. I just mean that I think a lot of the shine and luster will wear off extremely quickly if we aren't winning at a high clip AND if the off-field stuff continues to be a focal point (fairly or unfairly) for media and/or opposing fanbases. I don't think there will be quite as much of a honeymoon/grace period anymore in college sports. And probably for good reason.

The media is so ready to pounce. And it won't just be the college football media either. It will be a feeding frenzy if we start off 2-3.

That interview was hard to watch. I find the whole situation with Belichick’s GF increasingly bizarre. The age difference thing is a bit creepy but hey, 2 consenting adults, not my business, etc., but her being such a visible part of the program now is a different story. Getting chippy with the media like that just feels like a total unforced error and gives Belichick unnecessary negative PR.

Ultimately it comes down to the results on the field. If UNC wins and takes a positive step forward next season then this is the type of story that will ultimately be just a footnote. If the program struggles and this experiment totally flops then there is a ton of ammo for the haters to use to really pile on us lol.

I haven't followed this story basically at all, but my outsider question is this:

Since when is it a bad thing for a college FB program to have a pretty young woman associated with it? Are there recruits looking at Jordon and thinking, "better keep her away from the program"? I'd think they'd be more likely to fist-bump the coach.

Probably worth a quick google to get a more detailed backstory. Essentially, Belichick did an interview with CBS yesterday with his GF ahead of his book release and she got chippy when they started asking about their relationship and working dynamic. It’s also not the first time something like that has happened since he became HC.

Like I said, I personally think it’s a little weird, but it’s ultimately not something that’s going to matter. If Belichick is successful no one will care, and if he flops it’s just something that his haters and UNC’s rival fans will make fun of. Not the end of the world.

I meant the story writ large -- i.e. the whole saga of Billdon. Did I do that right? Jorchek? Anyway, I still think it's never bad for a college FB program to have hotties around and visible.
