Well, UNC won a press conference.

They looked at Nebraska hiring Callahan and said, "Hold my beer."

blessedtowin.bsky.social•193 days ago

What the what

gardylou-games.bsky.social•193 days ago

Wow, I really thought he was just angle shooting to get interest from NFL teams…I’m legitimately surprised he’s taking this.

tntrojan.bsky.social•193 days ago

Don’t understand what either side gets out of this deal.

dmp423.bsky.social•193 days ago

Apparently, his son will get the job when / if he leaves. 🤷🏾‍♀️

randallpjenkins.com•193 days ago

The LAX to WR pipeline just got so much bigger.

iamthasnuggler.bsky.social•193 days ago

Holy shit

grbpkr06.bsky.social•192 days ago

How come it’s never brought up that he cheated to win at least three of those Super Bowls?

ebarnescalgary.bsky.social•192 days ago

Mistake

alpeca.bsky.social•193 days ago

Forever grateful with HC #BillBelichick. Just 26 winning games behind Don Shula’s record (328) and 14 short (regular season & play-off) from Shula’s (347) mark.

thelegendkil.bsky.social•193 days ago

Good for him

scottcoolie.bsky.social•193 days ago

Looks like I'll have to drive up to Chapel Hill to see a game

laweez.bsky.social•193 days ago

Stupid.

gar57.bsky.social•193 days ago

I pity the 18 year who pisses him off.

quebecgenx.bsky.social•193 days ago

He's basically the dean of this school now.
I bet he added in his contract that if he leaves after 2-3 seasons, they are contractually obligated to hire his son as HC.
Next level nepotism 😂

lowells.org•193 days ago

Ernie Adams has got to come out of retirement. He’ll make Conor Stalions look like Maxwell Smart.

whoismrgc.bsky.social•193 days ago

He wanna be like uncle Deion

phxbluejay.bsky.social•192 days ago

He saw how well pro prep school game plan worked for Prime at CU, and knows the NFL won't forget. He hopes the control freak in Jerruh World gives it up soon, and he maintains a special disdain for both NY teams. Thornton Melon, anyone?

david425.bsky.social•193 days ago

How soft kids are today. He’s going to get arrested for assault and yelling

liberalwithsanity.bsky.social•192 days ago

Short-sighted by Bill. There likely will be 5-7 NFL HC jobs open at end of season: Jets, Giants, Bears, Raiders, Saints, Jaguars, and perhaps the Bengals and they will all pass Bill cause of control? ALL owners want to win! Imagine, just one example, what he could do w/ the Bengals defense.

phxbluejay.bsky.social•192 days ago

It's not like BB hasn't changed his mind about a job overnight before, though - 🤔
But this year's coaching lottery looks like one to pass up. He's not in a NY state of mind...

liberalwithsanity.bsky.social•192 days ago

Just shocked that BB shut the door on the NFL. If he walks from NC in a year their alum will hunt and haunt him forever. If he jumps after three years nobody gonna want a 75 year old coach. He could’ve turned the Bengals defense around in 1 year and let the offense run on auto pilot w/ that QB.

phxbluejay.bsky.social•192 days ago

Liberal, are they really talking about dumping Taylor in Cincy? Man, with Mike Brown in charge - the same guy who hung on to Marvin through 16 mediocre years - THAT would be news calling for executive drug testing.

liberalwithsanity.bsky.social•192 days ago

My fav of all time was Marino, greatest thrower I ever saw. Never had a RB and Shula’s defense was always spotty. By the time JJ got to the Fish Marino still had flashes but was past prime. Shouldn’t happen to Burrow.

phxbluejay.bsky.social•192 days ago

Hm, I guess one way of viewing JoeCool is a Marino redux. This year's Bengals haven't shown a lot of ❤️ in maintaining leads - but is that on Zach, or Anarumo, or just lack of depth on D? Bcz after Troy sits down (b4 he falls down from exhaustion), it looks like Keystone Cops on steroids.

horsham.bsky.social•193 days ago

I guess we know where his girlfriend will be going for her Masters

moridin666.bsky.social•193 days ago

lol

steelers4lf3.bsky.social•193 days ago

Yes!!! This is great news!

bigbluelols.bsky.social•192 days ago

Giants dodged a bullet.

secretariat7.bsky.social•193 days ago

Just another reason to dislike UNC.

emtpche.bsky.social•193 days ago

Good God help college ball with the grumpest coach in the world

ladylinds.bsky.social•193 days ago

Hide the cheerleaders

gigbatters.bsky.social•193 days ago

Lock up your daughters, Dads!!!!

forrreeeal.bsky.social•193 days ago

I mean you could say that about most men….

tdmel.bsky.social•193 days ago

He now has a pipeline to cheerleaders. He can be sub .500 next year, but score a 19 year old to massage his man boobs.

socaldude11.bsky.social•192 days ago

At least he should be getting the QB back that will be 24 before next season

ipinions.bsky.social•193 days ago

Hey, Biden pardoned his son. Belichick took this lowly college job because he got a guarantee his nepo could inherit it. Because there's nothing a father won't do to help his son...

macalpine7.bsky.social•193 days ago

I’m intrigued!

tombegg.bsky.social•193 days ago

GO Heels 🐏 👣 @unctarheelfan.bsky.social

redbullpapi.bsky.social•193 days ago

He's going to teach them how to cheat. How long before he had them deflating footballs?

juanccamargo.bsky.social•193 days ago

This is a great news for rivals. The guy who hates the politics of the NFL is expected to love and breathe recruiting and deal with NIL and the egos of 17-20 yr olds?

churanah.bsky.social•193 days ago

Is that where his girlfriend goes to school?

whoismrgc.bsky.social•193 days ago

Lool nice

glkrose.bsky.social•193 days ago

Might be scouting for his next one

foolishnesspodcast.bsky.social•193 days ago

"GF" is generous. We all know that very old men who seek out very young women aren't looking for a GF, they're looking for someone they can legally control. From this to Deflategate, to other questionable nuances, we can easily gather that Bill is a POS who only cares about himself.

tracykendall.bsky.social•193 days ago

Ha, my first thought!

meowilyyyyy.bsky.social•193 days ago

Does his girlfriend go there or something

galaxydreams70.bsky.social•193 days ago

I wonder how many kids hit the transfer portal after Belichick season 1?

Not everyone can be Coach Prime.

socaldude11.bsky.social•192 days ago

If they can’t handle being coached hard then who wants them

canamvet.bsky.social•193 days ago

Sanders is a racist. Belichick isnt. He doesnt need or want to be anything like sanders

6stringj.bsky.social•193 days ago

😲

elizr52.bsky.social•193 days ago

Duke fan here. Glad Carolina has to deal with him.

canamvet.bsky.social•193 days ago

This guy has more football knowledge in his left nut than most on here commenting have in their whole body. The haters just cant stand a man having a job and teaching kids the game he loves, You Americans are a pathetic people, full of fking hate
