He just meant that he didn't come to leave for nine months.
The big Bill Belichick & UNC football catch-all thread
- Thread starter aimo
- Start date

On Holiday
Basically he can make $5M (half his annual salary) and never coach a game.
That really shows the desperation of UNC.
This will end well.
For Duke fans.
& BB haters.
Lovely.
Inside Carolina just posted an article on a Belichick interview.
Second sentence: “The eight-time Super Bowl Champion joined "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday…”*
Six actual championships is apparently not enough for either their basketball team or their football coach, so I guess they can just make up stuff over in the land of powder blue pixie dust.
*in his case, he was the DC for the Giants wins, but people tend to give him credit only for being HC.

Upon reading that, I figured he had a couple somewhere as a coordinator and Wiki confirms it: both others as a Giants coordinator.Inside Carolina just posted an article on a Belichick interview.

Well he did coach the Jets for one whole day, so there is precedent there

And his son gets to take over the program

On Holiday
From some authoritative (and completely unbiased) reporting in this thread, his son is drug addled. So we've got that to look forward to.
UNC agreeing to such a ridiculous contract reminds me of my Lakers drafting Bronny. Just complete lack of institutional control and lacking even a modicum of self-respect.

It does seem like a bit of a Hail Mary pass, especially with BB structuring the buyout so he can easily dip to the NFL. But it's also possible it looks like a brilliant move in 2-3 years. I'm much happier with Manny, if we can keep him...
Much respect for your comment about the Lakers, bluedevilwildcats
Most fans defend their team to the end. But in this instance, they probably don’t deserve defending, and I respect your calling them out.
Sigh.
OK, I have a horrible, terrible, no good question.
What if...the Lakers DIDN'T make a bad decision in drafting Bronny?
First, a confession. I clicked on a clear click bait link, which is how I got the info I'm about to share. My bad.
So, the Lakers used a second round pick on Bronny. I assume at that point in the draft, the chances of getting significant value from the pick are not zero, but are not great.
The point here is that it's being reported that the Lakers have sold 500,000 units of Bronny's jersey, for over $50M of revenue. If that's correct, that's a huge return on a pick that had pretty small basketball value.
I can't imagine that the Laker's GM actually said, "Let's draft Bronny! The secondary revenue alone will be worth it.". On the other hand, I can definitely envision LeBron's agent making that argument.
So, do players like Jared McCain have additional value in the current era? Or is this a complete one off?
That story has not been verified and there is a lot of speculation that it is a Rich Paul plant

Great article from Matt Norlander that asks some poignant questions for UNC: where will the money come from to pay Belichick and his staff and his promised NIL budget, and will that detract from the money available to the basketball team? He also dives into the Dybantsa recruitment and how the three finalists came up with the money to comprise their offers. Fascinating stuff!

Yeah, I call BS on the math alone. $50m on 500k jerseys? There's very little data out there for NBA jersey sales in raw numbers. I'd be quite curious to learn the truth there.

As has been mentioned, he has nine million incentives to wait until the summer.
In the same article, he says "he didn't come here to leave", we'll see.
5 years, $50 million: Bill Belichick’s contract with UNC :: WRALSportsFan.com
Bill Belichick can terminate his deal with UNC on June 1, 2025, if he pays the university a buyout of $1 million. It would cost Belichick $10 million if he left UNC before June 1, 2025.
