What’s crazy about this is that I don’t think their ceiling for wins moved up all that much, but their floor just dropped significantly. They could very well have a 3-4 win season due to this move. And what’s even crazier is given the money they threw at it, they basically could have picked any head coach they wanted…and they landed on Bill. Just wow…

I was trying to be sarcastic. The hardest thing in the world for a successful college football coach man is to know when to quit and let the young dogs run the yard while you get on the porch. Bobby Bowdon did not know when or how to do it...Bobby Dodd did. Made a huge difference in their sunset years I would think. Coach Bowdon's family took the keys away from him sometime during that last year or so. Really sad.
I made a slight change. I know many retirees (myself included). The ones that seem to struggle the most with it is the ones who were so wrapped up in it that their jobs become their lives. That's what makes them succesful I suppose. I also know some that are hanging on to their jobs into their 70's bc they can't envision life without their work. These are the ones who always switch the conversation to work in the clubhouse after 18 holes. Time is more important to me know than anything else one derives from their career.

Geoff has proven over and over again that he’s quite the salesman. Will he be able to hustle an incoming coach that wants to know how to relate to the college game?

When a professional meets a fraudster. Stay tuned.

Hopefully even Geeoff is smart enough to know he won't be able to bull**** a guy like Belichek (but I wonder too). I would pay to be a fly on the wall when those two meet/

Based on what he's already done, I think he'll do well pretty quickly. He'll get good transfers in the spring, he'll have good assistants and UNC will look like Colorado, but with good offensive and defensive lines.

Until $20 million isn't enough NIL

They COULD have had any coach but the serious coaches had all learned by then what coaching on the funny farm would look like. This job is not a resume builder and, so far, it looks like a career ender.

UNC will certainly have a major PR boost and attract a lot of attention and interest. Recruiting could surge. But the window of opportunity for this to work out well will only be open a short time. If this doesn’t catch fire by his second season the collapsing morale and the sea of discontent in Chapel Hill will be even worse than before.

Like I said previously, an interesting experiment.

Tech stll owns them no matter who coaches the cheaters. Bill should fit in greatly. He is cheater also. Birds of a feather.........

I read he had written a 30 page plan for the football program. That's a lot of details to implement and three years to do do it. Not much has been said about his son being head coach in waiting. It was being negotiated.

If CPJ and waffle head joined forces with Bill....it would signal the end of the world
Water and fertilizer. Can you type that anymore online? CPJ and TFG on the same staff?
