Maybe he'll help, but really have to look at the years after he lost his QB. I don't think the QB was the only reason they won, but after the split Hc didn't as well.
The biggest thing here is that they are supposedly increasing their NIL money from $5mil to… $20mil
This is a disaster. Belichek will lose the team by week 6. He doesn’t know how to coach and recruit kids. If he gets a good qb is his only chance. But without Brady he win 1 playoff game in his career. 1. He was bad without Brady.
So this season, we had Deion Sanders coaching one of our opponents. Next, it'll be Bill Belichick. We should have at least one celebrity-type of head coach each year coaching an opponent at the Bounce House.
Agree that Brady was the difference. A good to great QB helps you turn those one score losses in to wins and championships. Frost has to hit on his QBs.
Saw an interview of Bill talking up his NFL connections and his college program geared toward getting kids drafted. I'm sure he plans to buy players with the increased NIL money he negotiated, problem is other schools also have money so he's still going to have to recruit.
I don't see him burning the midnight oil like these college coaches do. At 72 does he have the energy to be flying and then driving all hours of the night for home visits on the recruiting trail? He also has to take care of his prized 24 year old girlfriend recruit. 😀
Yeah, this will be a mess....Mack Brown was too old so they hired a guy 8 months younger. My assumption is this lasts a year, he retires and his son Steve takes over.
He's not going to be visiting homes or any of that. His staff will do that and when they ID a prospect, he gets to visit Bill in his office in NC.
Belichick expressed a detailed vision for running a college program earlier this week in his regularly scheduled appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show."
“If I was in a college program, the college program would be a pipeline to the NFL for the players that had the ability to play in the NFL,” Belichick said Monday. “It would be a professional program [with] training, nutrition, scheme, coaching, techniques that would transfer to the NFL.”
Belichick said he would guide his players with life skills rather than just football skills, preparing them for the duration of their football careers as well as their post-football aspirations. He touted his contacts in the NFL who would help recruits come draft season. Belichick spoke of bringing the college program up to his level as he descended to its.
“It would be an NFL program but not at the NFL level,” Belichick said. “It would be an NFL program at a college level.”

Bill Belichick is officially breaking into college ranks. What does that say about the NFL?
This does not necessarily mean no teams were conditionally interested in the second-winningest coach in NFL history. It does mean that North Carolina offered a specific structure the NFL does not.

Sounds all like typical coach speak. Problem is 18-22 years olds aren't the same are millionaires in their 20s
If so, he'll miss out on recruits. Nothing more personal than talking with mom and dad about Jr's future in their home's living room....especially when other big time coaches are making time to do that.
He had 1 good year in Cleveland. Won 1 playoff game. Every year with Bledsoe was average at best. No playoffs wins. Then Brady came. The year Brady got hurt. No playoffs. Then Brady was forced out for some reason. He’s dumb. I think he wants to be close to young girls.
I think Rich Rod is a no brainer at WVU but Bill adapting to college will be interesting. Rich Rod scares me a bit as an opponent
Penn St OC apparently interviewed there
the weird thing is I never heard anything about the Oregon OC Stein with the UCF job or any job.
But you are right it was a weird coaching cycle without many sure things.
I don't think it's just that he lost Brady, it's also that he never had a competent replacement. Hard to win with a washed up Cam Newton and a complete bust in Mac Jones.
He won the SB in NE in his second year as HC. He only coached with Bledsoe as his full time QB for a year. They also won 11 games the year Brady was injured, it was just one of those weird years where 11 wins didnt get them in, but 11-5 with a back up qb is still pretty damn good. The last few years the Pats obviously weren't great, but I think that was more due to a weak roster than bad coaching. They were rebuilding at that point. Obviously losing Brady hurt, but they also lost Gronk, Edelman, etc, and it takes a minute to rebuild a roster.

I think you mean Cassel not Jimmy, but Cassel was pretty solid then, where as Cam was just too beat up and Mac was probably a poor draft pick that never should've been the starter anyway.
Eta: jimmy was pretty good when Brady was suspended for several games, I forgot about that.

Cam was just washed and beat up by that point, I dont think he wouldve been a fit anywhere at that point. I think Mac was almost a desperation pick. You can't really win in the nfl without a qb so they had to take a chance with someone, and they probably didn't think he would be available for their 2nd rd pick.
total budget was ~30M. HC/staff/NIL
we are still on a diet in BIGXII. will get full share next year?
