Belichick to keep G. Collins?

Is Belichick to keep Geoff Collins at UNC?

He named his son as DC, not sure what role that leaves our departed "in way over his head" Collins. Maybe Collins gets hired for a marketing job somewhere.

Seriously? Belichek is supposed to be a football genius. This would qualify as one of the stupidest things anyone could possibly do. Personally, I hope Geoff ends up selling used cars.

Bill is not one to suffer fools gladly, so no

 

[GTRambler]

LOL

 

[jgtengineer]

Bellichek might keep him as a defensive analyst make him to a ton of work then ignore it because anything he comes up with is what not to do.

Freddie Kitchens (the interim HC) seems to be the only member of Mack Brown’s staff being retained. He’s announced a bunch of support staff, but only a few assistants.

Belichick is getting mentions as a possible return to the Patriots.

If Bill leaves UnC for Patriots would that mean his son automatically slides into the sudden vacancy as their new HC? Talk about a slick way of getting your son a D1 HC position. Not to mention Bill would leave their fan base with a bad taste in their mouths only for those same fans/donors to be stuck with Bill’s son as their HC.

I hope it happens and they're stuck with Collins as their DC.

Scooter would love to work for Belichik at no pay in any capacity for one season just to enable him to put the name of Belichick on his resume.

with basically $11M from GT in his pocket (okay maybe only $5M - $6M after taxes and all) he should be able to easily afford that.

He should be well past resume-building like that. He’s been a DC, and he has a network (or, he should)

He could have used a year or two of Saban’s rehab house for defensive coaches who don’t read offenses well”, but that’s over now. Kirby doesn’t like him.

He’s said he’d like an NFL job.

He may be involuntarily retired

If I owned a carnival, I'd reach out to him. I see him as a natural selling tickets to the ring toss or the duck pond or the "guess your weight" game. I think there's work out there for him myself. But I'm a glass half full type of person.

UNC will.owe him another $1M for 2025. He had a 2 year deal.

Belichick on his resume so he can spin into some kind of fairy tail relationship would help him tremendously with the NFL, at least in his own mind.

True. But the problem with this logic is that the DC he’s following this time is…himself. Unlike all his other previous stops as a DC, there’s no good way to ride the coattails of a more successful DC in this equation.

So he gets another $1 million from UNC whether he has a job there or not.

UNC's getting a steal. $1M to make him go away. GT would have been jumping for joy to get that buyout.

I'm not sure the $11M we paid to get him to go away wasn't one of the better deals around. I know that money should have been in Key or someone else's pocket, but basically $3M/year for 4 years to rid ourselvs of someone costing us way more in retropspect is a bargain. Look at what we got for our money, a football team worth watching with hope for better times ahead.

The more I think about it, Collins saying “Tech was a mess when I arrived and only I can fix it,” is such an obvious con we should have known better than to hire him. But at least the transition from Johnson to Key (with this crazy interim in between) proves that good coaches at Tech work hard, don’t do a lot of yapping, and produce modest to good results. Was the lesson worth the cost? Only if we never go for fool’s gold again. And only if Tech fans learn some humility and accept a good coach when we have one.
