00:00The, um, the initial, uh, report that bill Belichick wanted the guarantee in place that
00:10his son, Stephen Belichick would be named the successor for bill when he steps away.
00:16Um, we can get to that piece of the puzzle for in a second, but the update from Ali Connelly
00:24that came out 20 minutes ago, uh, reads as follows.
00:29Belichick has agreed to become the next UNC head coach.
00:32Belichick handed the school a 400 page quote, organizational Bible with structure, payment
00:37plans, staffing choices, et cetera, decisions on whether to commit with UNC.
00:43He's expected to know their decision within 24 hours.
00:48He went on to say, um, that, uh, this will need a sign off from the ad chancellor, trustees
00:56and boosters, and that there's already been pushed back from the group of 13 trustees
01:02with input from wider faculty.
01:04The investment would overhaul the school's approach to football.
01:09Belichick unsure of the school will meet the demands and is unwilling to negotiate.
01:15Wow.
01:17Now again, not to downplay anything from Ali Connelly, um, cause every, every, every indication
01:29is that this is legit.
01:31Um, it's just, this would feel a little bit more comfortable.
01:35It came off of shafty shafty's hands, but sometimes that's how a story like this goes.
01:42And there's no reason to believe that this isn't for real.
01:47So here's my thing.
01:48I want to get to the Stephen Belichick part of this.
01:53That's a great deal for North Carolina.
01:56Stephen Belichick is a sub 40 coach, sub 40 year old coach.
02:03Okay.
02:04Who just was the defensive coordinator at big 10 Washington Huskies football and had
02:12them playing at a top 30 defense level.
02:15We know Washington was left with injuries upon injuries and, or, or transfers and NFL
02:21and all those things.
02:25I don't know.
02:28Maybe I'm nuts.
02:30I don't know if UNC would have the cache to get Stephen Belichick to take their job on
02:35their own.
02:36You know what I'm saying?
02:39Like I think Stephen Belichick is going to have juice if he wants to coach at a high
02:44level in the college game because the results are now what he just did at Washington real.
02:52We know the pedigree.
02:53We know the background.
02:54So now if you're in North Carolina, Bill Belichick comes in and you become one of the most discussed
03:06programs in college football.
03:09You have a chance at bringing in recruits at a different level and probably more importantly,
03:16the portal at a different level, all while being in a conference that is there for the
03:23take a conference that yes, it was won by Clemson again, but as we just discussed a
03:30not top 15 team, Florida state is a mess.
03:36Miami with crystal ball.
03:38I worry is one of those, ah, it'll never be good enough things to waste the season that
03:46cam ward put forward is tough to see SMU in their opening season in the ACC went on beaten
03:56in the ACC regular season.
03:59And you might say, well, that's because they didn't play that, that, that it does not matter.
04:06That's the state of the ACC.
04:09However, I will tell you this.
04:15Usually I am all for just go in.
04:19This does seem like a lot.
04:22And I understand bill wanting a lot.
04:23Like if he's going to go and offer himself up to the college game at his age, he doesn't
04:30need to.
04:31It has to be perfect.
04:35North Carolina is not a football school though.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40So it's a lot, but it looks like we're going to know according to the reports, whether
04:50bill Belichick is going to be the head coach of the North Carolina tar heels within the
04:56next 24 hours.
