OT: Belichick to UNC ??

I wouldn’t hire him for that job even if he wanted it. I can’t say for sure that he wouldn’t succeed, but I don’t think he would. There’s plenty of jobs for him in pro football. If he really wants to coach again and people don’t want to give him the head job, he can be a defensive coordinator.

I think it's possible that he would take that job particularly if there isn't much interest from the NFL. Kraft kind of poisoned the well last year with the Atlanta affair.

Hiring a guy with GM/Cap/Free Agency experience is a smart play considering the portal.

Zowie. I just cannot imagine him going into a recruit's home and begging them to commit.

I don't think anyone in the NFL wants him. They didn't last year. What's changed? The Pats tough D turning average without him? There must be feelers going out right now. What if he's not feeing it?
 
Any program or team that'll hire a soon to be 73 year coach needs their heads examined. I don't care how great his past was. It's even worse for him to take a college job that is a multi-year process.

One positive of being on a college campus, he could meet his next girlfriend.
 
I find it very hard to believe he would want to/be willing to deal with recruiting, portal, NIL etc. I mean, would kids even want to play for him? On the other hand, his style of coaching was very much "my way or the highway" wich typically works better in college than the pros. Seems like a weird and unlikely fit, but i guess one never knows.

With the portal it’s Free Agency. And one would think UNC has resources. I think NFL types would be more comfortable in this space than ever before.
 
Paul Finebaum says it would be home run hire for NC. I don’t see it happening.

Did you meet their previous coach? I believe Mack Brown was at least 73.

Why do you say that? Do you think he's some authoritarian that demands military discipline to succeed? I think he's the opposite.

He wouldn’t. Coach Prime never does. Kids come to Colorado (and would to UNC) to be coached by a legend. You think Coach Prime gets on planes to visit recruits—or suffers through gab sessions schmoozing with donors? Nope!
The NILand Portal would be like roster building and free agency.
it’s a no brainer hire for UNC. I say it happens.

Prime doesn’t recruit? I don’t believe that. I recall him talking about turning on the charm when visiting parents/donors who know him from 30 yes ago
