Better for Belichick to have faded into obscurity. Post-Brady, he was exposed as no better than fair-to-middling, but this car crash has got to be humiliating (although quite remunerative.)
The fact that the school was willing to piss away millions on this experiment is mind-boggling....PLUS paying his two sons big bucks.

Calm down. It’s UNC. They’ve sucked for decades.
Old joke in Chapel Hill - the 7 Eleven changed their name to 0 and Eleven.

I'm a UAB grad. Trent Dilfer is worse.

I really don’t understand folks like Belichick. He’s in his 70s. And he’s a multimillionaire, with more money than he can possibly spend. Plus his legacy is secure. What more does he need?
If I were him, I’d get a scouting job with the Patriots. Travel the country at a leisurely pace. And enjoy a life without stress.
But of course I’m not him.

So is he still dressing in that classy manner of his—with an ugly sweatshirt with tattered, cut off sleeves?

Not defending Belichick, but UNC is going to be in a very long line of college programs firing their coaches this year.
Arkansas, UCLA, Kentucky, Auburn, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Penn State, Florida, and even Texas are also dealing with impatient fans.
There will be many more, as fickle fans demand a firing frenzy.
More huge buyouts, more disappointed fans.
It’s the nature of the game foisted upon the sport by judges, and the NCAA.

“Failure to communicate with players and parents has also furthered the divide. “
I mean- really?? Belichick ruled the Patriots with an iron fist and answered to no one...he’s going to start communicating now???

It’s a basketball school in a traditionally basketball conference. They can be counted on to have a lousy football team as sure as Georgia can be counted on to have a lousy men’s basketball team.

Bill was stuck in his ways and didn't adjust his methods of scouting, drafting, and coaching players out of college. While Brady covered for a lot of sins, Bill's skills diminished greatly and his ability to relate to and understand young players got worse each year. Without Brady, Bill was left exposed.
Soooo, if you are a grumpy, old dinosaur that can't/won't adapt to coaching players fresh out of college, the dumbest thing you could do is try to go coach up even younger players! If you can't relate to 21-year-olds, you have no shot with 18 year olds, but, hey, it's a paycheck...until it's not.
At this point, old Bill is just trying to get his, whether it's a girlfriend young enough to be his granddaughter or a pile of money for a job he has no passion for.
Bill had a chance to reignite his NFL coaching career when offered the DC job at SF after the 2023 season, but it was beneath him. If he would have been the DC of old, he would have back in demand for a HC job the next off season. Instead, he's stealing money every time he gets a paycheck from the UNC, and will eventually be forced out

As a hater of all things UNC nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing the spoiled brats at UNC crying in their mint juleps.
