00:00Bill Belichick, the NFL legendary coach,
00:03is now back in coaching, but not in the NFL,
00:07at the University of North Carolina.
00:10Never would have thought, Charles.
00:11A surprising move.
00:12They announced last night that they had hired him,
00:15and it sounds like he counseled with some legends,
00:20some other legends.
00:22Right.
00:22There are people who say
00:23that Belichick is the GOAT of coaching.
00:25Yeah.
00:27Well, the GOAT on campus at UNC
00:30is always gonna be, regardless of sport,
00:32across all sports, it's Michael Jordan.
00:34No question.
00:35Yeah, so he apparently consulted with Michael Jordan
00:38Right.
00:39Wow.
00:40Before taking the job.
00:40Right.
00:41At a news conference today, gave him,
00:42you know, this is his thing.
00:44The hoodie.
00:45The sleeveless hoodie, right.
00:45So, what really shocked everyone about this
00:48is that Belichick is 72 years old.
00:51Yeah.
00:52And nobody thought he would wanna go back
00:53and do the coaching.
00:54That's a college thing.
00:55Also, Charles, he's like 20-something or so games
00:58away from the NFL's all-time win record as a coach.
01:02You would think he might wanna go after that record.
01:05No, but to me, I think that part of the reason
01:09he took this job has to do with that young girlfriend
01:12he has.
01:13We told you about the fact that, yes,
01:1572-year-old Bill, now dating 24-year-old
01:18Yeah, Jordan Hudson.
01:1924-year-old Jordan Hudson.
01:21So, did she have some influence here?
01:24I mean, she did.
01:25Remember, she did post some things
01:27before he took the job.
01:28She alluded, yeah.
01:29She certainly alluded to him taking the job.
01:32And look, we've talked to people, Charles.
01:34He very much, he talks to her,
01:36he bounces things off of her,
01:38and this is a serious relationship.
01:40Well, it's definitely gonna be easy for her
01:42to make friends at Chapel Hill,
01:44but he's having his press conference right now,
01:46and in it, he was asked, is he just going to Chapel Hill
01:49just so he can have a stepping stone and go to the NFL?
01:52To which he said, I'm not coming here to leave.
01:55I beg to differ.
01:56I think if you actually believe that Bill Belichick
01:59is going to UNC and finishing his career there,
02:0215 wins short of the all-time winning record in the NFL,
02:06that you are just not seeing this clearly.
02:08Reports have come out that there is no market
02:10for him in the NFL.
02:11There's no NFL team that wants him as their coach,
02:14because when Belichick comes in,
02:16he wants to take over everything,
02:18and no one wants to give a guy in his 70s
02:20the whole organization.
02:22So what he's gonna do, he's going to UNC,
02:25gonna strangle a couple wins together,
02:27and then he's gonna make his move.
02:29Congratulations, Jacob.
02:30Coldest take of the week.
02:32Howdy, y'all.
02:33Tony from Texas, and this is clearly a money signing.
02:36It's the greatest signing in college sports.
02:38They're gonna make a fortune,
02:40and the recruits that will come in
02:41because Bill Belichick will be the coach
02:43is gonna make the school a powerhouse.
02:46It's probably gonna go down as the greatest signing
02:48in college sports.
02:50Wow. There you go.
02:50Yeah.
02:51I mean, his buddy Nick Saban was a good one too.
02:53Yeah.
