Yeah I know the succession was rumored but not confirmed yet. He does have a strange buyout clause. I suspect it is some combination of.

1. Set his son up.
2. Bide his time to see if NFL calls.
3. Bail if he finds he doesnt like it.
The guy tweeting it says" He could leave for an NFL job at minimal cost before he evens coaches his first game with the Tar Heels."

Yeah, if an NFL team waits until June to hire a head coach!

Yeah not likely but presume that buyout is more for 2026.

His dad, Steve, served as an assistant coach for the Tar Heels from 1953 to 1955. During his introductory comments, UNC chancellor Lee Roberts pulled out a copy from the 1954 North Carolina media guide and read an excerpt about Steve Belichick that ended with a line about his 2-year-old son, William Steven. "Coach, welcome back to Carolina," Roberts said.

Roberts presented Belichick with a gray short-sleeved hoodie, the coach's trademark look. Athletic director Bubba Cunningham then pulled out a suit jacket with the sleeves torn off, another ode to Belichick. At that point, Belichick said he had his own gear and pulled out a white hoodie his dad had during his time at Carolina.

"You can tell I liked it," Belichick said. "I've kept it a long time.

"It's great to come back home to Carolina and back into the environment that I really grew up in. When you're little, you don't remember everything. I was too young to remember a lot of things at Carolina, but as I grew up, you hear the same story over and over and over again. One story I always heard was, 'Billy's first words were, 'Beat Duke.'"

There will be a $10 million pool for Belichick's assistant coaches, and $1 million for the strength and conditioning staff. The university also has allotted $5.3 million for a "support staff," which includes additional funding for the new general manager position.

That isnt a prediction. I posted an entire article in which sources close to him claimed he was done with the NFL so that is his current reality. I then said to @bamainatlanta that I am sure he would return to the NFL if they came calling.
K thanks for not addressing the part I bolded. Good morning!!

I did address it. You just dont seem to be able to understand and once again instead of talking college football you want to cry about my posts.

No one cares if you think my post was a prediction or if I play both sides. It is irrelevant to the discussion of college football.

@TL1961 apologies in advance if this devolves into another few pages of @knoxville crying about my posts instead of discussing football.

Tennessee fans supposedly got a hold of some QR code or something to get tickets to the game at OSU. Might be more orange there than they expected

The OSU AD is even complaining about it

It was a post about whether I make predictions or not. I dont play college football.

The signs of where the sport is going became florescent in the opening 24 hours of Belichick's tenure. He has clauses in his contract for a general manager hire at up to $1.5 million, a support staff budget totaling $5.3 million and $1 million for strength and conditioning personnel in addition to his own salary of $10 million. None of that includes the $10 million for assistant coaches. The GM salary is capped at a level almost double the highest one currently known in college football.

"That's a big boy investment," an industry source said. "UNC is definitely going all-in on this."

The case for Belichick to thrive at UNC is simple: He and Lombardi have decades of experience running a disciplined and innovative front office. They are experienced at evaluating and assigning value to players, negotiating contracts, making disciplined decisions and maximizing resources. Few college coaches can match that or are in programs structured to do so efficiently, considering few programs have GMs with that background.

The system Belichick and Lombardi developed in Cleveland in the 1990s to assign value to players remains used in the NFL by personnel departments, Rhule pointed out.

"It's something that they invented, and a lot of us in college are still trying to learn," Rhule said. "The whole thing in college now is how you value your own roster and do you choose to replace them."

Much like how NFL franchises scrambled to hire former Belichick assistants and New England front office members over the past two decades, don't be surprised if other colleges watch Belichick and Lombardi's every move. They have a1 transferrable skill set that has never mattered more in college football.

How quickly have things changed in college football? Former Ohio State and Florida coach Urban Meyer chuckles at how "labor-intensive" recruiting used to be. College coaches would have to hang out all day in high schools, cozy up to guidance counselors and sweet-talk grandmas.

Meyer said a college basketball coach told him recently: "You'd love this recruiting. I don't recruit. No more notecards. No more texting 70 times a day or talking to the kid's girlfriend or uncle. It's a whole different animal."

Though there's still plenty of charm and boots-on-the-ground work required, the reality of high-end college recruiting in 2025 is that the contract offer trumps stadium size, weight room glitz and the doggedness of the pursuit. High school recruiting is essentially the draft. The portal is free agency.

Also paramount: Many of the agents working with the top college football players are the same ones Belichick dealt with for years in the NFL. Their confidence in his ability to train, develop and teach players should not be underestimated.
