Video Transcript
And that first, you know, Power Four game is gonna be in Ireland between North Carolina and TCU, uh- That's a good one which, boy, Bill- That's a good one I, that's gonna be interesting.
Bill Belichick's second year at North Carolina.
First year didn't go all that well.
His second and final.
And we're gonna, we're gonna see if, we're gonna see how this goes afterwards.
He's not making it out of this.
That I can promise you.
Nah.
No, I agree with you.
This is, this is it for him.
Nah, this is his second and final year I think for him.
Yeah, this is I, he's just gonna- And, and by the way, I don't think his career is over.
I think his college career will be over, but I, I, I, I would think, call me crazy, I think Bill Belichick- is gonna come back in the NFL, and I think it'll be as, like, a defensive coordinator.
I do.
I, I, I And, and then maybe a head coach eventually again, but I think he's gonna have a soft landing back in the NFL again.
I do.
I, I really feel that way, Joe.
And, and, and by the way, I, I, I guess he f- he felt a little insulted that, he didn't get the Falcons job, right?
That was the one that he thought.
Yes.
And then, look, I, it, it seems to me, I don't know if you felt this way, it felt to me like Arthur Blank called, Bob Kraft, and Kraft told him no.
Didn't it feel like that?
Like, he said, "Don't do it, it's a mistake."
Yep.
Like I, I, I, I feel like that's what happened, 'cause these owners are tight.
But, but I It'll Look, Belichick, they're gonna be horrible this year, and North Carolina's gonna lose a lot, I think.
I don't think they're gonna be good.
And then you're gonna, we're gonna laugh about it, and rem- and say, "Remember when Bill Belichick coached, in the NFL?"
Yeah.
Or at college.
Remember when Nick Saban coached the Dolphins?
You know?
Like, people remember these things.
Yep.
And, and n- nah, it does not tarnish his career for me at all, but I think after this year, maybe Belichick says, "You know what?
New York Giants?"
You know?
Yep.
Like, somewhere like that.
"Let, I'll, I'll be your DC Harbaugh, no problem, for a year," you know?
Right.
Come back.
That, that's my, that's my, I don't think he'll be a head coach, Joe, immediately.
I don't think that.
No.
No.
I think he'll see it out for as long as he needs to.
The reason that he hired his son and brought his son as the assistant head coach at D, I think he was just planning on passing the reins to him.
But you better have some success there, Bill.
But will he if they stink?
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, you better have, some success though, 'cause if you don't win any games, that's gonna be a problem again.
And you're in the ACC, where really the only team you gotta worry about is Miami at this point, so.
True.
True.
Y- yeah, it's a very winnable, you know, conference.
But we'll see if he can get the players.
Still gotta have the players in college football no matter what there.
