The Bill megathread (HC at UNC, girlfriend, etc.)

[sb1]

Bill’s new project seems to be how he can convince HOF voters not to induct him on the first ballot.

If that’s the case he’s off to a great start.

 

[1960Pats]

You don’t, unless it’s by sb1, who you are in the middle of a cat fight with. You get attacked when you make excuses for him. I have called Belichick the Goat a million times and never get attacked for it. However when I say that Wolf wasn’t responsible for Belichick’s mistakes I absolutely get attacked for it, by the Cult of Bill.

According to a former mod, there were eight Pats fans who complained about Brady talk when he went to TB. That was hard to believe until some of those fans, and the mod, went to the Brady forum for some trolling.

But Brady quickly won his 7th SB ring with a trio of coaches who were mocked here endlessly, while Bill's team **** the bed for the most part, just like they did before Brady was forced into the lineup.

As they say, payback is a *****.

Good morning. Great day for football. LFG!

 

[sb1]

Man Bill’s Tar Heel team is complete

Remember when some talked about Bill making them a playoff team? Good times

 

[Mack Herron]

What is he talking about?

 

[h0c2000]

What is he talking about?

Feels like Bill's never watched Tropic Thunder. He should listen to Robert Downey's advise.

 

[Huckleberry1]

He might be one of the greatest coaches, but he continues to prove he is a very small person

Agree completely. That’s a bizarre comment.

 

[sb1]

What is he talking about?

It’S cLEaR

 

[Joey007]

Feels like when a TV character gets Flanderized. Bill’s lost the balance of good qualities he once had, now just exaggerates his worst ones.

 

[Kdo5]

He might be one of the greatest coaches, but he continues to prove he is a very small person

He’s doing his damndest to erode the reputation of GOAT coach. He was basically widely considered that if he just retired shortly after Brady left.

Then he was “one of the greatest”. Now he is a has-been great coach, old fool. I’d say he was a really good coach at a time but now he sucks.

Probably a top 5 NFL all time HC still but it’s trending downward.

 

[ahmed]

Seems as direct as possible.

Bill was always an ******* if you took your bias out of it. To go this far though is just really pathetic. Not to mention harmful to his players with NFL aspirations.

 

[Betterthanmost]

There is more to this story. He knows something about the patriots practise, something sinister he likely implemented. I don’t think this is just BB being petty. I wonder how he got to know about the close door meeting?

I heard on the news this am a current NEP player who was wearing a UNC t-shirt in the weight room was told to change by a NEP employee. Unknown if it was Drake

Seems the pettiness is flowing both ways. Children.

What closed door meeting are you referring to?

Bill Belichick is, in my opinion, the best coach in the history of team sports. Period. Having said that, he's an ******* and has been since his days in Cleveland (probably since he was a little boy). I roll my eyes at the hero worship in American society, whether it's Elon Musk or Lance Armstrong or others, who publicly undergo this perceived transformation from Godlike figures to Villians, while being entirely consistent in their behavior the whole time. Bill's behavior is not surprising; he's been an ******* from the beginning. He dumped his wife for a secretary who worked for the Giants, then he dumped her for a child. He's gone after anyone who questions him. He has been an ******* to the media, to other coaches, to Brady, to the league (Spygate was arrogance, not abrogation of the rules), to anyone who questions his behavior. We all forgave/explained away his behavior as amusing/gamesmanship/etc. because he was so exceptional in his ability and we loved rooting for a winner. Now that he's no longer "delivering the goods" we're shocked by his behavior. Lance Armstrong is the same. He was obviously cheating right along (and willing to destroy the lives of good people who told the truth) but we loved him for being a winner, until we decided we no longer did. Elon Musk has been both a visionary and an ******* right along as well. Every time a see a bumper sticker on some Tesla saying I didn't realize he was an ******* when I bought this car, I want to ram it with my own car (no better example of being both rich and stupid at the same time). Trying to justify Bill's behavior has always been a challenge (Oh, he's really funny when you get to know him") and now is no different. The only change is that he's no longer our coach and he's 73 years old and just like the rest of us as we age, no longer at the top of his game. I am incredibly appreciative of all the moments he provided for me as a fan, but he's a prick and has has been from Day One.

Good post, right about everything other than Musk being a visionary.

Patriots News 11-19, Bye Week Musings | PatsFans.com

But if this had been the Patriots with Brady at QB, this would have been all over the network news.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft OK with Tom Brady's contract

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told The Athletic that he is comfortable with Tom Brady's current contract, which runs through the 2019 season.

www.espn.com

Why didn't Patriots trade Belichick? Kraft cites Brady in explanation

Robert Kraft apparently took a page from the Tom Brady playbook when deciding how to part ways with legendary head coach Bill Belichick.

www.nbcsportsboston.com

You’re a liar, and that has been established over and over and over and over………especially in this thread.

 

[Huckleberry1]

TFA says not only was it the players Bill and Mike's chose to put on the field, but those suggesting he'll do better next year are not looking at the data correctly.

For three hours Monday night, the crew at ESPN made it sound like Belichick had no control over the roster and walked into a gutted program. Smarten up, people.

Belichick and Lombardi nearly turned over a roster that, over the previous four years, was built primarily with the Nos. 26, 31, 11 and 14th-ranked high school recruiting classes, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

Belichick’s first high school class was No. 36 in the nation, and he’s currently working on the No. 17 class in the nation. That 2026 class already has 36 commitments, and the No.17 ranking is based more on quantity than quality.

There isn’t one five-star recruit among the group, and there are 27 three-star commitments. I don’t think I’m breaking news by saying UNC isn’t winning a national title, much less the ACC, with 27 three-star recruits.

If you think the money they spend on the transfer portal will fix things, think again:

Transfer portal players are more of a crapshoot: you’re either unloved or unwanted (for any number of on- and off-field reasons), or you’re trying to make a buck. Neither is an attractive alternative.

But there’s hope for those who have cash on hand, and who can convince the small percentage of impact portal players to believe in what they’re selling. You just have to, you know, convince them of your product.

A product that, after one week, doesn’t look good at North Carolina.

I’m not sure why people think that two guys who suck at evaluating college aged talent will do a great job recruiting college aged talent.

What is he talking about?

This is a minor inconvenience to the Patriots. This could be a huge loss to his players. Belichick coaches for UNC and not Ohio State or Alabama. Only a handful of players from UNC get drafted in most years. It is hard enough for a player from UNC to get drafted as it is. Blocking one of the 32 teams from scouting the team only makes it less likely that an UNC player gets drafted.

The Patriots will just find another player from another school of similar quality. Most UNC players will only have one or two NFL teams at most show interest in them at all. One those teams might have been the Patriots. Not anymore.

The fact that Belichick is too small of a person to care that the only people he’s actually harming is his players says it all. My respect for him is diminishing at warp speed. When he got the job I was rooting for him to be successful and planned on rooting for UNC, as I don’t have a college team I root for, now I simply don’t care, and I’m leaning towards rooting against him.

 

[Thunderhead]

Rooting against Bill and UNC hard.
