NCAAF Coaching Carousel 24-25

[Root4GT]

Great point about the lawsuit. And I wonder if, assuming Belichick gets his program going the way he wants, this makes UNC more or less attractive to the SEC and BIG? I can think of points in favor of both sides if that.

It could help the ACC. This is rather fun. Next July/August during the ACC Football Media Werk it will be interesting. No pressure on any other coaches. Norvell must love this

Or maybe more pressure on Norvell. FSU Board of Trustees: “ We need a coach who can make us a pipeline to the NFL like UNC!”

Hard to answer those questions but I do think 18 year olds will be interested in playing for arguably the greatest football coach of all time. Especially with the NIL boost thats coming along with him. It will be an interesting experiment.

A decent coach with the greatest qb of all time. Belichick is a little over .500 without Brady.

You make a good point that I hadn't considered: the floodgates of UNC NIL money may open up now that Belichick is on board.

Random Questions as I try to make sense of this.

If all it takes to be successful as a college coach is a super bowl ring or two, why aren't more colleges hiring former NFL head coaches?

Is it easier for a coach like Brent Key to add Belichick's discipline and systematic approach to the program? Or for Belichick to add Key's passion and genuineness?

If you were 18, would you rather play for Key or Belichick?

And in terms of assistant coaches, would you rather coach under Key or Belichick?

Kids and coaches flocked to Saban. And supposedly he was an SOB.

I'm expecting the unc thing to be a short-lived, largely middling experiment that he'll walk away from.

I read he can leave after June 1 2025 with $1M buyout. Contract for 5 but can terminate after 3 years guaranteed. I really think this gets him to 75 and then sets up his son as HC.

I can’t imagine why any man would want to finagle ANY job anywhere for his own son. If the young man is worthy of a HC spot he should be able to get there on his own merits. The name itself is a head start in the business. IF this is true this will not end well imo.

I am not saying a father shouldn’t help by making introductions and things of that nature fwiw. But , after that, it’s between the son and the other party.

Yes, but Bear Bryant had built a program previously at Alabama.

UNC doesn't have that history.

Army’s Jeff Monken would be a great fit at North Carolina or any outflanked power conference program, but college administrators often prefer a celebrity.

Telling us what we already know but stating it well.

Yeah and I have no idea why UNC would be ok with this obvious scam to get his son a job he hasn't earned.

But TFG told them if they ever wanted to revert back to a traditional offense it would be the second greatest transition in football history. (Almost) never been done before.

Most interesting part of his contract

If he wants to leave before June 1, 2025 then the buyout he would have to pay to UNC is $10M. After June 1, 2025 his buyout to leave drops to $1M.
Basically, they are tying him to UNC through the upcoming NFL coaching hiring season, but after that he is basically free to leave whenever he feels like it.

There is also alot of chatter that his son who is currently the DC at Washington and will join him at UNC is being set up as the HC in waiting (of course those often do not ever come to pass).

 

[LawTalkin Jacket]

everyone wondering if Chapel Bill can recruit, if assistants will want to work for him, if players will want to play for him, or if his son can coach, etc. The answer is Bill will hire great assistants who are great recruiters and who will want to coach with him IF UNC WILL PAY ASSISTANT COACHES like UGA, Texas, and Ohio St, and they will get great athletes who will; want to play for Bill if UNC WILL PAY THE ATHLETES like UGa Texas and Ohio State. It is not complicated. If Bill gets UNC to come up with Texas, UGa and T A&M kind of money, he will be successful.

After his $10million per year contract, paying off Mack Brown's buyout, and the reported increase in NIL, will they be able to afford top shelf assistants?

If a Big 12 school grabs him, they become a CFP FIXTURE.
To the point of the article, UNC likely would’ve been as well. To be perfectly honest, I think he’s a home run hire for the lower third of Big ten also (Rutgers / Northwestern / Purdue / Nebraska / Indiana … yes I’m lumping in the Hoosiers who will regress to the mean when Cignettii goes). Point is, he could go to a “basketball” school or a non-football power (especially one with resources **cough** carolina**cough cough**) and build a whole lot of excitement around a football program.

He was the DC at Washington. Maybe that means he’s good, maybe not.

Kinda hard to live up to what his dad has accomplished

DFEI for Washington got a little worse from last year, though still pretty good at #33.
