00:00Cat last Sunday

00:02We did it. We did ask a

00:04bill

00:06UNC a week later. He's hanging out at North Carolina basketball games watching him poured on LaSalle

00:14Tell me what you've heard around this situation

00:30You

00:34So I'll believe it when he's actually on the sidelines coaching for UNC well, he's going to be he's got a five-year deal

00:40three years fully guaranteed

00:42But the bio it's actually very small, which is odd

00:46But so so what do I know?

00:48The belief around the league is he just didn't have another opportunity. Okay, that that's that's why he took this job

00:53He wants to be a football coach at 72 years old. He's gonna get another opportunity, but I'll be it in college

00:58It's just it's it's stunning but front office executives I talked to around the league coaches

01:04Nobody believes that he would do it and he did it and it's gonna be fascinating and boy ESPN loves it

01:10Don't forget they have the ACC Network. So you're gonna see him on plenty. I'm sure next season and

01:15See Kevin. It's the curiosity factor

01:18that's why initially the TV ratings for UNC football gonna be phenomenal because

01:23It's just what it's gonna look like with the UNC garb on is you're gonna have short sleeves

01:28I mean the whole the whole Belichick situation is just fascinating not only for him for college football

01:33But I thought you made a really good point on our segment last Sunday if you're gonna do this, it's got to be quickly

01:38Yes, because the jobs are just about done

01:41but the other part that I would add is

01:43Because of the transferal transfer portal and on it and NIL money Kevin

01:50You're behind the 8-ball here you they're so far behind other schools Kevin because the transfer

01:56Portal you're talking about a couple thousand players are transferring because of money

02:01Over the last 10 days and Bill Belichick and Mike Lombardi his general manager and whatever staff he puts together

02:07I know Freddy kitchens is going to stay but they've got a lot of work to do

02:12They're behind right now, and that's not a good thing in college football, but because it's Bill Belichick

02:17He's gonna get some players who absolutely positively would have not played for you and see but because it's Belichick

02:23They want to see what this is like and they're gonna join UNC football

02:26Cap, I'm just curious. Have you heard anything around?

02:32Potential coaching hires because one thing that you know, I cap

02:37I wish you were in the room at North Carolina because I know you would have asked the question

02:41What's going on with your son, you know?

02:43We heard you know suggestions that he was going to be guaranteed to be the heir apparent to the job

02:50Unless I missed it. We still haven't even had it confirmed. He's on the staff

02:55Yes, you don't want Steve Belichick. Yeah his son. No, it is not being confirmed that he's on staff

02:59As a matter of fact what happens is looking at the contract over the last couple days

03:04The details that are available that he's he has a coaching budget

03:07Okay, and within that that's where he's gonna spend his money now the NIL budget by the way

03:12It's gonna go up five to six times. It has to because you're bringing Bill Belichick. They're gonna need that money

03:18But yeah, there's nothing to substantiate that his son Steve has been is gonna be his heir apparent at UNC

03:26Doesn't mean he won't join them. And well, I mean, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't because again, it's his father

03:31He knows the defense by the way, cuz he's coached for him before with the Patriots a few years ago

03:36And look, here's the other thing. What's Joe judge gonna do now? He Joe judge has been a coaching consultant

03:42I think it may be at Ole Miss where and the other guys like Matt Patricia who has been doing these coaching videos with him

03:48By the way that in the next 48 hours, you're gonna hear the whole staff

03:52And also, but by the way, there's an offset on his contract with the Patriots

03:56So I'm sure the Patriots are liking that. He's now with UNC the bottom line is bill

04:01It's gonna make his 10 million a year. We know that

04:05He's got a five-year deal. They could get out of it UNC after three years

04:09They're looking to do that, but they have some protection but this is a fascinating story Kevin that is really historic

04:15You just don't see guys leave that the next situation you're gonna see is well NFL assistant coaches

04:21Coordinators who can't get NFL head coach jobs. Well, they start to leave they go to college football

04:26That's something we got to keep an eye out on the next couple months
