this latest episode stems from bill going on a major network show and appearing there not with UNC's sports info director (who would know better than to butt into a live interview with an extremely clippable moment) but with a 24-year-old who 1) isn't a sports PR pro and 2) is his girlfriend - ThreadSky

Dont think the SID would have let him wear a Navy sweatshirt in lieu of UNC gear either.

alexkirshner.com•27 days ago

basically, i think UNC would be wise to try to fire him for cause now. you won't be able to swing that after the season when he doesn't get an NFL offer. gotta just abort this one asap

benadamso-o.bsky.social•27 days ago

Cause ain't this lol

unpaintedhuffines.bsky.social•27 days ago

Between this and The White Lotus, UNC has had a rough offseason.

katesofheaven.bsky.social•27 days ago

the real dichotomy here is "does having the 13th best class in 2026 and the 9th ranked portal standing in 2025's offseason offset the fact your coach looks like a senile wreck" and I honestly wonder if that's a harder question for UNC to answer than it would first appear

jnf99.bsky.social•27 days ago

They should at least give him until week 2 imo

encomium.bsky.social•27 days ago

First off, what brand does UNC football have? Its a bball school.
If anything, belichik is giving it attention and will draw TV and ratings interest.
Hes achieved all there is to achieve, now lets see him run the circus.

spacedgod.bsky.social•27 days ago

Doesn't his buyout drop drastically right before the start of the season? Seems like this was all accounted for in some weird way?

number1hurtsfan.bsky.social•27 days ago

Listen I need bill to stay and coach this year. I need it to be a disaster. I need his girl friend arguing with the assistant coaches, I need Bill to look totally clueless, I need his press conferences to be disasters, I need UNC to go like 3-8 this year.

remidyal.bsky.social•27 days ago

I dunno, as an NC State fan I think they should let it cook for a while, it's probably going somewhere.

bluedevilinhou.bsky.social•27 days ago

As a Duke fan, I have to agree. I’m sure their team will be 100% focused once the season starts.

Me and Mr Wuf over here like

jaykaydee.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes, and: as a UNC alumnus I think talking about the football program this much just shouldn't happen at all. UNC is not a football school! Football should be like the sixth-most-important sport, at best.

escalante.bsky.social•27 days ago

That buyout drops on June 1 right?

akillesheel17.bsky.social•27 days ago

that's the buyout for if he leaves, not the one for firing him

escalante.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ty 🫡

floramcg7.bsky.social•27 days ago

They got BOGOed. 😂

billdifilippo.bsky.social•27 days ago

the part that i find so crazy is this whole episode happened because they acted like "bill here is a cute question meant to make you look human for the first time in your life" was accusing him of murder, you'd think even if you're not a sports PR pro you could navigate that but nope!

alexkirshner.com•27 days ago

anyone with a grip on having a real job would, i think, do better here

billdifilippo.bsky.social•27 days ago

would love to know what UNC's AD thinks about all this

mkroll.bsky.social•27 days ago

His 20 something hire won a title. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Matson_(field_hockey)

notamateurhour.bsky.social•27 days ago

and it was a topic they’ve definitely talked about at length previously, like, it’s in written stories. Why did she freak out?

midnightdorifto.bsky.social•27 days ago

hi - first time, long time - as a TCU fan, is it too early for me to apologize to Stanford fans for whatever coaching PR maelstrom awaits them in ‘27? after season openers against Colorado and UNC in the past few years, I feel like we might be saddled with some ancient, Bubba Ho Tep-style curse?

dvdrots.bsky.social•27 days ago

Fortunately (?) we are *already* in the midst of a coaching PR maelstrom.

midnightdorifto.bsky.social•27 days ago

ah, well, that’s probably good y’all are getting ahead of whatever snakebit aura we’ve been carrying since we used up all that karma against Michigan

dirtbagqueer.rocks•27 days ago

this is the part that kills me. respect to jordon who i'm sure has many talents etc but she's literally just Some Guy, she should not be managing the greatest football coach of all time

rager.tech•27 days ago

Jordon’s a JAG. Bit of a PR plodder. Explosive only in instaface views.

alexkirshner.com•27 days ago

she's totally unqualified for what she's doing and when bill is just doing media, whatever. but she's now a major influence on carolina football, which she has way less business being than basically anyone i post with on the internet

whygavs.bsky.social•27 days ago

I will do it. I will coach the Tarheels.

drainbead.bsky.social•27 days ago

Can I be a recruiting scout? Watching high school football wrecking balls who are the best players in their district and trying to convince them to come to sunny North Carolina sounds like a fun job. Basically getting to watch Derrick Henry's HS tape and then subtly hitting on his dad.

dirtbagqueer.rocks•27 days ago

i need to know if she has an endgame or if she's just gonna ride this out as long as she can. she's already leveraged her position to start a real estate empire, bill could break up with her next week (which isn't happening) and she'd still be leaving there with somethin

jonenslin.bsky.social•27 days ago

If he would have just answered the question, it would have been forgotten by Sunday evening.
