Didn’t want Bill anyway. Wish him luck at UNC though
I guess catching up to Shula is less important to Belichick than I thought. I figured he’d take most any job to try to win those last 15 or so games.
1. I don’t really want Bill. I’d rather go with a younger HC with fresher ideas. I think Bill is a great coach but there are better options out there.
2. He isn’t the UNC HC yet. They have to agree to his manifesto which there’s already reported pushback on from UNC.
Smart move for Bill in case things go south with his girlfriend.
That will be great for him. If things don’t work out with his girlfriend he’s got a massive pool to work with.
Thank god dude
Not sure he was the right guy for us. Be interesting to see him coaching college though
I don’t want a coach who has already won a Super Bowl. I wanted Harbaugh last year and I wonder what could have been. I want a coach who wants to win a Super Bowl because they are not currently in possession of a ring as a head coach.
Oh thank god
Didnt expect him to go to college
this will either make UNC the next dynasty in a year or two or it implodes in their faces
Thank god
Way too many people celebrating acting like the current regime is confirmed done after this season. We all should know all too well that there’s a real possibility Shad lets this season go.
As a mostly college fan this seems like it’s going to backfire easily for everyone involved.
YES!
Good
Good honestly. I think he would of done some good things, but Trevor needs some fixing/confidence. He wouldnt be the guy for it
Thank god, good luck bill
Good. I don’t think Bill was the answer
The Jags need a younger guy, someone dynamic and up to date with the modern NFL.
Someone who is gonna look at Trevor and say “How can I get the most out of his talent” and not “How can I fit his talent into my scheme?”
one less dumb mistake for shad to make
Thread by Connolly goes on to list demands that Belichick has for UNC. If I had to guess, I don’t think UNC would agree to hire him. Sounds like he wants to overhaul the entire program – and set up his son to be the next HC for them
Not the right answer for the Jags but I think Belichick would kill it at North Carolina. Recruiting would be easy mode and this would signify a lot of financial investment. There is no way if you’re serious about an NFL future you decline to play for one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. His schemes would be great in college defensively and blow everyone else out of the water, people don’t realize the gap between him and even the best college coaches. I’ve seen Ben McDaniels and his son as coordinators which would be really great for college. This would be one of the most fascinating sports hires ever, hope it happens for that alone. If North Carolina says no they are idiots.
Thought that was a Babylon Bee headline until further research. Wow lol
lol at all the fans saying “thank god we didn’t get one of the greatest coaches of all time” …. As the Jags instead will probably hire the next incarnation of Gus Bradley or Mike Mularkey
BB presents a few glaring issues:
1. Obviously he is super old and who knows how long he’s got left, or if he does decide to retire
2. Bills guys always suck. Matt Patricia, Josh McDaniels, etc. He would likely be here for 1-2 mediocre years and leave us with another dumpster fire as his successors struggle by trying to be belichick 2.0. The maybe one exception being Vrabel but it’s unlikely he comes here if we get BB, he’s likely taking a HC job
3. He’s had a lot of chances and the only qb he ever developed was Brady, and we can’t even fully give him credit for that because how much of it was Brady just being different? He had a lot of guys for a long time that he could have developed and most of them didn’t develop despite being behind the goat coach and goat qb. So it’s not like he’s some qb guru who can elevate us by elevating Tlaw. I do think he would elevate our defense but he very much needs a good OC and I don’t think he would bring one, he would bring in one of ‘his guys’ and it would end up being mid, just like Doug did with Press, only it would be Josh McDaniels or something
4. We would have unrealistic expectations with BB to where it would be doomed from the start. We would unrealistically expect him to win us a SB or something and I just don’t see it happening with a retread hire like BB
Bill was never the answer in my opinion anyways. Sure he had the Super Bowls to back him up, but we all saw what became of him after Brady.
