Belichick to coach UNC
- Thread starter gman2304

Belichick to Nick Saban "Hold my beer." I don't see him doing well because he's not going to get the time to develop players with so many players looking to jump through the portal every year.Didn’t see this coming. One of the greatest ( if not THE greatest) NFL coaches of all time signs a 5 year $50 million deal at a public university. The Tarheel football team needs some help but……
I'm in the Charlotte area. Everyone here is pretty excited for it. To me, just my opinion, but I don't see him having the temperment for College athletes.......

I just can't.Didn’t see this coming. One of the greatest ( if not THE greatest) NFL coaches of all time signs a 5 year $50 million deal at a public university. The Tarheel football team needs some help but……
Don't worry. Boosters are paying his salary.

I do worry, I work at a public university, and I was a coach at a big SEC university.

All kidding aside, I miss the amateur aspect of things. I witnessed as a frosh in college having our hockey team win the NCAA Div I. They were all amateurs, the fans were students and locals, and I don't even think anyone knew the school won outside of those who followed college hockey. It was not a spectacle etc. I get it, the 1930's were different
Okay but the state wasn't paying your salary. It was boosters, ticket sales, advertising, etc.
Me thinks the Train wreck will be EPIC.
Precedents to examine: Arizona State v. Herm Edwards, Jacksonville Jaguars v. Urban Meyer, just to name two of the most recent.
Given that Belichick is about 40 Grit, he may not make it through next season.

Maybe that's why he's doing it. Free tuition for her.

The amount of money it is spent on these vultures is insane. Everyone wants to be Alabama, but that is one-off. The cost to students in Alabama went through the roof, not because they did not have money to pay Nick, but because they reached a point where out-of-state students outnumbered instate, and costs went up to limit their numbers. Private university? Fine! Public? That is not the mission of a public university.
UNC students will, in the end, pay higher tuition, and he won't do anything for them. He is 72, he is spent.
However, I bet UNC will have a protracted fight with faculty and staff if they ask for, let's say, better healthcare or family leave.

Oh the state does pay your salary! Base salary is one thing. Problem is, it comes with numerous other stipulations, coaches, staff, and drives tuition through the roof for students that come there to learn and become productive members of society, you know, core mission of university, especially public one.
Private? Give him $500 million, I don't care.
The trickle-down effect of this is insane.

Now imagine the flip side, the most prestigious university where I live, doesn't have a division 1 ice hockey team whereas almost all the other ones in it's league does, and, I was told they can't afford the Zamboni they want as it's $200k. My comment was there are a lot of pretty well off alumni, one would think they would simply make a donation. Who knows....it makes me wonder what the motivation is behind all of it. Not academics of course, but once people say NIL I'm lost.
What has caught my attention is U of FL, who seems to be top notch academics today
Here's more on that

UNC AD all but said this move to hire the oldest coach in D-1 college football was 100% to get eyeballs (and $$) on this program
Naw. UNC Chapel Hill charges students less than $300 for the athletic program. It IS more for smaller schools because of the smaller student population
UNC Football is most likely cash positive.
She got mad at a reporter and screamed at him that she was Twenty-Four and a HALF!
Welcome to simple supply/demand economics. I promise you the University of Alabama did not raise out of state tuition to limit the number of OOS students, but to capitalize on it. Success in football can be a huge driver for an entire university, more students want to go there, more corporations want to be associated with a winner, more "boosters" too. And yes it even trickles down to academics and research. Clemson is a more recent example, that campus is busting at the seams with growth in all areas 100% from football. $10M/year is a bargain for a football coach if on field success drives $50/$75/$100M a year in increased giving.
