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

Non-paywalled link:


So not only do we have the WRAL report published, but also now confirmation that one of its main allegations is true.

More than a dumpster fire, this is a **** storm!





It seems this is Bill and Mike's way to resolve this situation, but it may not be enough.

It makes one wonder if the higher-ups at UNC Athletics aren't going to ask for more.

The program is such a shambles, it would not surprise me if Fat Mike is next to take the fall.

UNC is going to figure out a justification to fire him with cause so as to avoid having to pay the buyout and they’ll bury Belichick in litigation until the day he dies if they have to.
 
Their coach was in our lives several times a week during the football season for twenty years. We talked about him with our friends. We defended him when fans of other teams in our lives went after him. We're truly puzzled how such a guy who seemed to be so smart and decisive in his prime has acted so stupidly and indifferently in his decline. So, yeah, we care a lot. Good luck with the Miami thing, may it bring you joy.
#2 team in the country, so far, so good.
 
I couldn't care less about North Carolina football. Unless they're playing Miami, and then it's 'how much should they win by'.
Some of you guys seem to care a lot.

Because it’s really really funny.
 

Are any of the True Believers still planning on attending? Tix are super cheap. Not sure I'd want to see the lamb being brought to slaughter on All Hallow's eve.
 
I think we all had this kind of optimism bias. We all saw the great teams of the Brady Era and Bill's role in that. We even came up with the acronym IBWT to explain away some of the more baffling things he did. Some are still so focused on those times that they refuse to acknowledge anything after those times.

Yet in hindsight we should not have been so blindly optimistic. We saw Brady depart with no real plan to develop a successor. We saw the Cam Newton year. We saw what happened to Mac Jones after Josh left the building and Bill installed the MP/JJ/sons coaching train wreck. We saw Bill undermine his DC, a player he drafted and coached as a player and trained as a coach, because he wanted his son to have the job. We saw him make questionable choices in his dating life. We saw him choose to partner with Fat Mike and use a hype-laden pitch to get them plus three of their sons set up in UNC.

All of this had a certain stench to it. Now it's full blown rotten eggs. It stinks to the high hills.
You spend so much time hating and you still can't get facts and timelines right.

PS remember that time you were hating Bill an hour after beating a division rival instead of enjoying and celebrating the victory? Hater.

Serious question. How do you defend the damage his ego, distractions, pettiness and nepotism has negatively impacted UNC?

Forget his tenure with the Pats. Can you or would you defend it? Do you deny it entirely or have a ‘yeah but’ for us.

Genuinely curious where your head is at because it’s clear that there’s been a real decline for him not sure how that would be in question for anyone.
 
For me, I haven't lost respect for what Bill did during most of the Brady Era, although I do question some of his late-period actions more than I used to. However I have lost respect for the majority of things he did in the Post-Brady Era.

Note that losing respect isn't the same thing as hating, regardless of how much a certain ******* poster like to equate the two. Honestly, I can't think of anyone in sports that I hate. The closest anyone comes to it is players who deliberately try to or succeed at injuring other players such as Jack Tatum, Bernard Pollard and Ndamukong Suh. Even these guys I don't hate, I just have zero respect for them. Ok, upon further reflection I truly hate Tatum. That scumbag crippled another person for life for no good reason. But that's the level it has to rise to for me to hate anyone.
What do you call it when you're up at 1AM just an hour or so after beating a divisional rival in huge game stating Bill is a Grifter?

You are a hater and it's laughable that at this point you would say anything else.

You hate Belichick, you hate his kids, you hate all his disciples (Josh McDaniels included), you hate his girlfriend, you hate his new team, you hate that he has 8 Superbowl rings, you hate the Patriots defenses that win 6 rings, you hate the WRs he drafted (all of them your words), and you're a lieing piece of rubbish.

That's easy it's fake news. He's 5 games in nothing you write has anything to do with UNC. You're just regurgitating the same BS you haters have said for years. You complained about that while he was still winning Superbowl 53. You don't like him because he snorted and grunted at media instead of telling you what the injury report was so he is evil for all time.
 
Maybe we should offset the angst with some relaxing beach yoga?

Seriously now this is something Bunny could probably trademark. It's only hers. Lol
 
So one of ponytail's guys is the fall guy for all UNC's failures. Cris Carter would be proud.
That's a reasonable interpretation but my mind went in a totally different direction. If UNC is ready to move on from Bill - which seems likely at this point - they'll be thinking of ways to void his contract and his staff providing impermissible benefits to players is a good start. Who knows what else they've found.

The way it typically works is the team digs up as much dirt on the coach as it can and then it fires the coach for cause. The coach then sues for breach of contract, and they get together and work out a compromise. That's my prediction going forward. Because UNC is a public institution, we'll all be privy to the terms of a final buyout

That’s emblematic of so much that is wrong in the world. Deny what is in front of your eyes. Live in delusion and reject reality because it’s more comforting than admitting your tightly held beliefs are wrong.

Just because you don’t like the news doesn’t make it fake.

Bill Belichick is 2-3 at UNC. He follows an immature bunny around like a puppy dog. He hires all his friends and family to important positions. He restricts Patriots scouts out of pettiness. His Patriots teams were miserable at the end. No NFL team wanted him. UNC is going to fire him at some point.

But yeah stick your fingers in your ears and say it’s all a lie. Bill is awesome, he’s not washed up, his behavior is normal. He’s still a winner. Okay.

It's literally exactly that. If this was some random coach who is 2-3 in year one none of that stuff would be said. Instead you're regurgitating 20+ years of the bull crap that has been piled on and pawning it off as some sort of new revelation. The ego/nepo crap was fake news then and it still is.

The news story is greatest head coach of all time is off to a rocky start at UNC all that other BS is fake news smear tactic bull. And if you buy it you're a sheep. Or more accurately you're hater following the mob like a brainless zombie.

Easier said than done and just because Belichick dies doesn’t mean his hypothetical lawsuit disappears. His heirs would carry it forward.

Some have speculated this recent “scandal” might give UNC an out but that is stretching things quite a bit because it is such a minor infraction committed by such a low level coach.
