The chatter/consensus on ICP is that we’re finishing up the negotiations with BB this afternoon with an announcement to be made shortly.

Who knows.

so hire old man Belicheck for a year or two on the cheap... maybe 1 million/yr to give us some PR

then hire his 37yo son who had a decent year as DC for Washington and give him a 3yr contract as HC for 2 million/yr...

I'm fairly confident that coaching combo could continue our 100 year tradition as a 7-5 football program.

Dude. We aren't hiring anyone for a million. The absolute lowest salary for a P4 head coach is $3 million-ish. Any coach we hire will minimum be at $5 million a year. But the annual salary isn't even the biggest issue; it is the buyout. A $20 million-plus buyout is pretty routine these days.
 
I mean, I’d transfer. I’d also give it my all in practice each day. It’s Bill fucking Belichick. Who wouldn’t want to play for one of the greats?
 
I have a hard time seeing Belichick as a college coach. The guy has been NFL his entire career. He also famously didn’t like undeveloped youth. Dunno, seems likely to backfire.
 
Whatever happens: did anyone have on their 2024 bingo card "NFL game day shows will be doing features on whether Bill Belichek will be the next coach of UNC football?"

I mean, it's wild that this even has legs. I get that BB's son makes the move sound more sober than first glance, but still. It's fucking wild.

I predict that BB would immediately obtain a high quality QB. 95% of college QBs would be thrilled to play under the guy who made Tom Brady.

Right. The only thing I compare it to is if Phil Jackson had replaced Roy. And this really isn’t Mack 2.0. That was exciting within the state, but stopped being a national headline pretty quickly. As long as a Belichick is at UNC, it will be a national conversation piece.

You're right, it's bonkers. It's like if Roy Williams or Mack were considering a coaching swan song at your local high school.
 
Sounds like Matt Campbell turned us down. If he’s not coming, I hope that’s the case. That makes hiring Belichick much more tolerable, because the inverse- Campbell being willing to take our job and us not choosing him- is completely and totally unacceptable IMO. Strictly from a program building standpoint I’d still be fine with Jon Sumrall (despite the back to back bad losses) but I also understand why, if Bill Belichick says he willing to take your job, you hire him.
