Folks need to see the larger picture here. The ACC including UNC is locked into a bad football contract with ESPN thru 2036. Clemson and FSU are suing to get out of it. The SEC and Big 10 want all the dominant football programs and has it's eyes on UNC, but football at UNC has been slightly above average. UNC recognized that despite their dominance in basketball, football is king and they need to either catch up or be left behind financially and reputationally. If Belichick can make them a perennial playoff contender, their investment will pay off in spades, either by being at the top of the ACC, or being courted to join the SEC or Big 10. Bottom line is that UNC is a dominant athletic school EXCEPT in the #1 cash sport. They just made a major move to fix that problem, and served notice to the ACC that it's game on. Selah
Spot on. I am excited about Bill Belichick bring our new head coach, but I am equally excited about the investment that UNC is finally putting into football. This is essential to becoming an annual contender and now we will never go back which is exactly what needed to happen.
@@05645ci it takes money to make money. We are and always have been the school of national championships. It’s time for the football program to catch up
Wreck Talk is tough! I watch his show from time to time. He keeps it real. Tells things as he sees it. And doesn't hold back. Like Bill Belichick, a lot of people probably won't be able to handle his brashness. And while most times he's on point I don't necessarily agree with his assessment on Carolina this time. 1) Major funding is already flowing into the University like never before. How fast did 100s of millions of dollars suddenly become available for a mega coaching salary and assisting staff over the course of the next five years!!!! 2)The upgrade that's coming to turn the Carolina facilities into a NFL showstopper will make the Panthers jealous! LOL! 3) Even if he only stays a year, getting the Carolina program to the next level has already been set in motion whatever happens game-wise over the course of 2025. 4) Scary thought for everybody on the schedule! He just might turn out to be an amazing college coach, lead them to a national ranking, and a spot in the CFP.
That’s a really good possibility, Louis. People just can’t fathom the decision to come to Carolina. And worse than that they’re not understanding all of the details behind the scenes that are changing as far as “what’s important” to UNC.
most people don't understand just how lovely Chapel Hill is, and how sweet that head coaching job is because they haven't won any chips yet. To be rich in Chapel Hill is as good as living anywhere in the world. The town is that nice.
In my eyes I believe this is going to go one of two ways. 1. Bill gives 5 years of great coaching and Unc makes some noise but then once his son shows as Hc we have to go back to the drawing board. 2. Bill gives 5 years of great coaching Unc contends and then his son inherits Bills coaching ability and Unc is set up for greatness for the next 30 years. Either way aside from John Sumral at Tulane I think this was the best hire and Unc will have a quick turnaround. GO HEELZ!
This was a slam dunk, brother! 🐏🏈💪🏼 The money coming in and time that UNC has spent at the forefront of college football is something Sumrall would not have generated. Among MANY other things.
Russ! thank you so much for your words of truth,i just wish they everyone in the NFL would have had heard what you said because every word was the truth! and i did see the cam on last take say basically what you said ! you go Boy!!!!!!!
This was a great hire to catch up with the big dogs . I'm excited to see our team hit the field next fall. Nothing but love for wreck. All respect for him as a great Tech fan. Outstanding job breaking this one down Russ. GO HEELS!
I believe that we will see another side of Bill as a college coach. Everyone that thinks they know him as a NFL coach robot truly under estimates this man's desire to teach the game of football. I believe he will create a new culture of developing players into becoming the best and beyond they could ever believe. He will be the GOAT in college.
Belichick’s hire was great for a few reasons. Not just for being one of the greatest of all time, but his hire really helped Carolina deeply invest into NIL funding. Nowadays in college football, without NIL, you’ll basically suck. Belichick can hopefully bring over his schemes from the nfl to college and hopefully his son can do the same. Just hope it works oit
I'm not sure what impression people are under for how football works, but Bill Belichick is the greatest football mind, greatest defensive strategist, and greatest football educator on the planet... Easy, bar none, not even close. I am a lifelong football nerd. The thing that astonishes me most about the general football watching masses is their lack of reality for coaching and what it accomplishes. How responsible coaching is for any amount of success you have. People seem to watch football like a pickup game, where it's just QBs and WRs running around out there -- no defense, no schematics, no in game adjustments, etc. Rather than the actual pre-planned chess match that is taught and then drilled into the players to the point of (hopeful) perfection. Their ability to replicate that on gameday. To cut through a lot of preamble, I'll just say this... Tom Brady was a backup QB at Michigan who had never won a single ring in HS or college (Griese). Edelman was an option QB in Division III, Matt Slater wasn't the greatest special teams player on the planet at UCLA, nobody knew who Rob Gronkowski was at Arizona, on and on and on. Coaches build and develop the players. It's an uncomfortable ego play that coaches have to tip-toe around and provide all of the finished product credit to the players (where it rightfully belongs for achieving it), but it shouldn't be at the dismissal of the coaching providing every bit of what is accomplished on the field. Belichick hand picked and developed every coach and player in the New England dynasty, much to the bewilderment of most Pats fans. While they all clamored for big names and #1 WRs, they didn't seem to ever notice that he never followed that plan. He built from scratch, with guys that everyone screamed about when selected/acquired. It was actually a hilarious behavioral experiment to watch. He never built it with Calvin Johnsons or Adrian Petersons (as everyone believes it works), but people never seemed to notice or comprehend the secret sauce... Character, work, preparation, developing up at a higher, harder level than everyone else around. Drilling fundamentals and techniques, so they are responsively replicated better than the opposition when they match up. The entire scheme scouted and developed by the coaches... People just don't seem to get this process and who runs the show. They look at it as coaches/teams getting "lucky" when they "get a good player". BB didn't get lucky that he simply "picked" 1,000 players over those 20 years... the 1,000 players were lucky they came to BB. That's the only way the math works. Every coach in the sport reveres him as the best because he is. Robert Kraft was operating under a hilariously wildly ignorant fantasy as to who was responsible for putting the football in the football. He made Tom Brady, not vice versa. It's not a coincidence that a lumpy, mediocre-armed, backup QB from Michigan became what he did when he linked up with the greatest defensive mind and football educator on the planet. That's where he learned football, how to read and kill a defense, everything. Not Brady in a vacuum. Same thing for every other player that magically developed the exact same work ethic and football level that they did... Merry Christmas, Tar Heel nation! Make no mistake: this is the single greatest event in the history of your football program.
One of my favorite posts ever! I appreciate the comment, D McG! Not because it reinforces what I see, but because I know that you get it. Obviously a Boston guy it’s refreshing to see someone understand the importance of coaching and scheme. Tar Heel Nation has a ton to be excited about! 🫡
Yup all he has to do is get some stud players in especially in the line of scrimmage and QB send the players on the current roster not producing won’t fit his scheme send them packing , wins some games and fill Keenan stadium at maximum capacity this coming season
I mean I completely expect rival fans within the conference to trash the move. With that said the move was awesome. Monumental even. What direction was UNC gonna go had they not hire Bill? The Fedora route? Hire some OC or DC from some conferences 3rd or 4th best team and hope it works out? His recruiting probably wouldn’t be much different than Mack Brown’s if he’s lucky. If he did have success he would probably get offered a better job like Duke’s last coach did. I love this move!
only hiring Bill would mobilize the whole Carolina program and force it to take football more seriously. "basketball school" was and is true but only someone like Bill with his massive spotlight and credibility to force Carolina overnight into a serious football program. Both from the $$$ standpoint and from the recruiting standpoint.
You’re right on the mark with everything! It’s not just Bill.. it everything he is bringing to the program.. money being the most important.. don’t think any other hire would have brought this investment.. would have been business as usual .. and another year of irrelevancy!
That’s what the national pundits and outsiders don’t understand. And it’s such a HUGE story that’s being overlooked because people hate the thought of Carolina succeeding. The one sport we’ve struggled to succeed in is football. That’s about to change! 🐏🏈
Agree 100% Russ. I was a little hesitant at first, but the more I listened and thought about this was the best hire ever for UNC, even better than Butch Davis. If Bill succeeds and gets us to the playoffs that is a success, but even if he only gets us to 8-9 wins again and retires he has set up UNC to be a perennial powerhouse by just getting the university to start giving serious funding to coaching and NIL which will make UNC super appealing to future coaches.
@@thetarheelhuddle my interpretation is Wreck's ire is more directed toward Geoff Collins, and UNC wouldn't be such a target seemingly if Collins wasn't there - that being said, we've seen coaches struggle at different levels (Saban with the Dolphins, etc.) so just don't look at Belichick as a magic bullet I guess. I wish Tech was playing them in 2025, I'm more curious about how things will look for y'all than any other emotion ( GT '14 here)
@@andrewwyatt1780 I know that he can't stand Geoff Collins, but my guy has made three videos about how BB is going to be one of the worst hires in college football history. That's pretty pointed attacks. And he's entitled to that opinion of course. I just vehemently disagree and felt the need to clear the air on the some of the talking points that are being mentioned. Respect though, Andrew! Good post.
Welcome to big time college football. That is what North Carolina fans should be happy about. Basketball is never and HAS NEVER been the big dawg of college athletics. Mike Tranghese when we was commissioner of the Big East basically told them that had to have Penn State. The AD’s pressed back saying Penn state wasn’t a good basketball program. Tranghese told them they would rue the day they turned them down, that I would kill the conference. And damn, if he wasn’t a prophet. As for Belichick getting total control? Great. No disrespect to Bubba, but pandering to the wine 🍷 and cheese crowd of pseudo intellectuals at UNC and thinking basketball is the focus is asinine. You now have a man who will create a football culture at North Carolina. It’s the most popular sport in this country, by a large margin. ESPN broadcasts high school games. Why does UNC in the past lose recruits to FSU and Clemson? Those are football schools. Football culture. Make no mistake. Bill is a teacher first and foremost. A football lifer who lives to teach the game. Russ, Belichick never pulled Bledsoe. Bledsoe got hit by Mo Lewis and damn near died on the field. Brady came in out of necessity. Drew just never got his job back. And I hate this Belichick can’t coach and was made by Brady. What was Nick Sabans record at Michigan state? Did he leave and go to LSU and suddenly learn to coach? Or did he simply have much better talent?
Spot on assessment all around. Folks just repeat narratives and don't use their critical thinking skills. Belichick (coaching wise) is the equivalent of hiring a 1990's Dean Smith for the basketball program.
Thanks for the correction, Hutch. Bill decided to continue to roll with Brady over letting Drew get his job back! Spot on assessment as always, my friend. 🐏🏈💪🏼
I would argue that if Carolina was really serious about football as people are saying this move seems to suggest, then Bill Belichick is not the hire that i would use to make that signal. Urban Meyer...sure. Pete Carol...ok. But a washed up version of Bill Belichick? I think UNC could've done better if we're saying they swung for the fences.
So you named two guys that you would have RATHER Carolina offered and insinuate that hiring an 8X Super Bowl Champion NFL Coach was less than Urban or Pete Carroll? “I apologize Mr. Russ the Tar Heel. You didn’t win the $500 million dollar lottery. You only won the $400 million lottery.” Oh no. 🤣
I've never seen a school score 70 points in a game in all my life. How do you have time to do that? Next year, UNC will give up 75 points to Charlotte. Belichick or not, UNC Football will always suck. When I was in school there, we lost to ECU and then got killed by NC State. This sign at Granville Towers said, "State can't beat this Dick." Well, they did. I think it was 34-7.
Pouring concrete in the winter makes for long days too. That damm Santa Claus sucks😂😂 GO HEELS!!!! I love the hire. I think it will help the university as a whole when it comes to 💰💰💰@thetarheelhuddle
I don't know bruh if this was a home run hire..Wreck had good points bc Bill's coaching has fallen off like a bad bag of dope, and i disagree, Bill does not know talent, his drafts has been trash for the Patriots, lets not forget Bill's fame came with those SB with #12 standing back there and w/o that dude the losses came and that is the reason he was available, College Football is a whole different animal, if i was UNC I would push all my chips in for Prime, Urban Meyer or Detroit's Ben Johnson.
That guy is clueless. I guess he thought Saban was a spring chicken. His coach does all that stuff because his team is poor. It’s sad that such scrubs have beaten us so often.
He was a below average NFL coach when he didn’t have the best QB to ever play the game under center. He got fired from his last job and had to settle for an ACC bottom feeder position because no one else wanted him. He’s 73 years old. He’s never coached college ball. He’s never recruited. The hype around this “Hail Mary” hire reminds me of when the Jags hired Urban Meyer. I predict disaster.
Basketball did out UNC on the map, but if you don’t change with the times (I.e. understand football is king) that idol of UNC basketball will fall into obscurity as well. I love Carolina. A strong football program is what keeps a strong basketball program in this NEW ERA of college athletics.
If we're relying on basketball with Hubert Davis in 2024 to carry the athletic programs, UNC is screwed. Football has and will always be the needle mover
Don't compare Donald Trump to this conversation Donald Trump says crappie things and he was a bad president and he's going to be a bad president. So yes not compare this to unc football
I need you to swallow your emotions for just a second…..take a deep breath…..are you with me? It was an analogy. A comparable one to the statement that was made at that. This is a big boy conversation.

But the MONEY is good, brother! 🤣💪🏼 Santa Clause never seems to visit my house. Somehow it always falls on my shoulders 🤣
I’m 53 bro. Swing shift. 16 hours doesn’t seem much more than 13 hours on paper. But when I do it now, 😢
Pouring concrete in the winter makes for long days too. That damm Santa Claus sucks😂😂 GO HEELS!!!! I love the hire. I think it will help the university as a whole when it comes to 💰💰💰@thetarheelhuddle
I’m not sure he was right about Collins. I think Mack tied his hands just like he did Bateman.
It’s possible , George. But he did say it wasn’t going to work. I’ll give credit where credit is due. I was hopeful. It didn’t come to fruition.
I don't know bruh if this was a home run hire..Wreck had good points bc Bill's coaching has fallen off like a bad bag of dope, and i disagree, Bill does not know talent, his drafts has been trash for the Patriots, lets not forget Bill's fame came with those SB with #12 standing back there and w/o that dude the losses came and that is the reason he was available, College Football is a whole different animal, if i was UNC I would push all my chips in for Prime, Urban Meyer or Detroit's Ben Johnson.
I like Prime! But I also like the GOAT! I don’t think you go wrong with either.
This dude sounds like a typical Tech fan who still thinks they are a FB school.
🤣
GT just shaking in their boots, this guy is a 🤡
🤣
That guy is clueless. I guess he thought Saban was a spring chicken. His coach does all that stuff because his team is poor. It’s sad that such scrubs have beaten us so often.
That’s why Mack had to gfi ally go. He did less with more.
Chadwell? Never heard of her.
🤣🤣🤣
Willlie fritz? Never heard of her either.
🤣🤣🤣
He was a below average NFL coach when he didn’t have the best QB to ever play the game under center. He got fired from his last job and had to settle for an ACC bottom feeder position because no one else wanted him. He’s 73 years old. He’s never coached college ball. He’s never recruited.
The hype around this “Hail Mary” hire reminds me of when the Jags hired Urban Meyer. I predict disaster.
You’re still completely focused on Bill. That’s fine. But regardless of how this plays out it was a HUGE win for UNC.
Same talking points over and over
I'm a tarheel fan i will say i do like the football but i will say basketball put unc on the map and that's never going to change
Basketball did out UNC on the map, but if you don’t change with the times (I.e. understand football is king) that idol of UNC basketball will fall into obscurity as well. I love Carolina. A strong football program is what keeps a strong basketball program in this NEW ERA of college athletics.
If we're relying on basketball with Hubert Davis in 2024 to carry the athletic programs, UNC is screwed. Football has and will always be the needle mover
@ 💯percent, Jason!
Don't compare Donald Trump to this conversation Donald Trump says crappie things and he was a bad president and he's going to be a bad president. So yes not compare this to unc football
I need you to swallow your emotions for just a second…..take a deep breath…..are you with me? It was an analogy. A comparable one to the statement that was made at that. This is a big boy conversation.
