Not to defend Belichick, it may turn out to be a disaster, but I also think about Bear Bryant and The Junction Boys, and what a disastrous first season they had. But Bear was planting the seeds.
From what I heard, there were 70 new players on the UNC team. It’s hard to expect the team to gel right away.
It’ll take some time for 70 new “look at what I can do” players to become a team. I expect many of them will be itching for the transfer portal come December. It will look like the exodus of the fans in the third quarter.
And as soon as the money runs out, I expect Miss Gold digger Hudson will be looking at the transfer portal herself, looking for her next NIL deal.
They weren’t expected to win but the transfer portal didn’t cause a blowout.
