Bill Belichick beat down in first game as UNC HC

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Pete Carroll was 47 when he was fired by NE, and got another chance in the NFL with SEA at age 58.
Bill Belichick was 71 when NE let him go.  He is widely considered to have lost whatever insight he once had.

BBs only liability is his age.  That UNC could win the rest of their games and the national championship and BB  will still have the age issue.  UNC could lose all the rest of their games this season and BB is still the most successful NFL coach in league history.  Only way he coaches in the NFL again is if someone wants a 1-3 year stopgap coach.  Record at UNC is immaterial.

This is fundamentally a "Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, could have been hired to replace Bill Parcells with the Jets in 1999" argument.

I am a person that gives equal credit to both Brady and Belichick for the success of the Patriots; Tom Brady did not put the clamps on the Rams or the Colts.  That being said, Belichick has not shown any ability to succeed as a head coach without a HOF QB.

Belichick could have retired from NE 5 years ago, failed at UNC, and come back to the NFL.  But now, post-Mac Jones?  BB couldn't even get a job with the Falcons, a (current) bottom-feeder that has never won anything.  He would need to win a college playoff game to get another job in the bigs.

If Belichick gets fired for losing too much at UNC, there is zero chance he gets hired again as an NFL head coach.

His only path back to the NFL is the same one Pete Carroll took: dominance at the college level.  So you should actively hope he does terrible at UNC.

You're probably right, but as long as he's there in NC, he's not in the NFL and that's all I care about.

Bill just got blown out 34-9 bringing his record to 2-2 with two blowout losses. Here’s to more!

I wonder how many players his hooker of a girlfriend is giving it to.

And they really haven't looked that good in any of the games.

Vegas puts the over/under at 4...

I'll take the over for $1000, Alex.

And a 38-10 loss to Clemson! You love to see it!
