That’s fine, it won’t be for everybody. My point is, congrats to UNC for finally attempting to be relevant and invest in football, which is what this is. Gotta pay to play and get a seat with the big boys, we’ll see what happens. It’s a no from you, we’ll see who says yes and how it works out the next few years. BYU just ponied up 7M for the #1 recruit in basketball, times are a changin’
Im sure UNC will go hard after Faizon Brandon till signing day next year since they are investing in their NIL. TN has one of the best Collectives in the Country. Going to fun to watch. It might come down to relationships and where you actually want to play if the money is close to the same.
Switzer, Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll all won national championships/super bowl. Jim Harbaugh won a national championship and made a Super Bowl. Other guys have tried and it not work out. Roy and Jay never coached professionally whereas Bill has and wants to make it similar to what he’s been accustomed to all of his coaching career. Will be fascinating, for sure.
Good for him. Baker I think is the focus for UNC right now as well as a bridge gap portal QB.
I would say Brandon would at least talk. From the way the Volquest talk about him being a very respectful young man.
All those guys except Harbaugh went college to pro. NFL to college is rare. Saban went back and forth, Spurrier did it but hard to say he was successful at THE NFL level.
We’ll see what happens. I just know none of those guys have won 8 super bowls
Saban and company aren't used to dealing with paid athletes. BB is. College sports are rapidly moving toward the pro models and that suits him well. Everyone is talking about BB recruiting in a kids home..... doubt that happens very often. But what he will have is a staff full of people who excel at it. BB's hands wont be dirty doing those things.
Read UNC247 Freddie Kitchens might be the OC and Saban had a lot influence on BB going to College
The insinuation made by MacTTP is that Kitchens will be the TE coach which is a position he held last year. Possibilities for OC are Brian Belichick, Charlie Weiss Jr, and Tommy Rees. If anyone other than MacTTP mentions anyone for any position, it is just them trying to get a reaction.
He's probably not going back to the NFL. If he was, he would have waited and taken a job after this season.
Hearing the same rumor. If so, UNC will fill holes within the transfer portal. Will be fun to watch
UNC is a better job then the Panthers. He's got roots in Carolina, definitely not random
I wasn't aware, did he used to bus tables near Chapel Hill lol?
So y’all think Manning will leave Texas which is a playoff team to come to UNC to play for BB. That’s about as good as the Grumors. I heard Gruden is still coming to TN
He hasn't played at Texas. Sat for two years, for a drunk coach in sark. Bill and Peyton have a great relationship. He arch does come watch out
No his father coached there when Bill was a kid. Has a house in NC
lol he is the starter next year at Texas and UNC want sniff the playoffs. Funny you think the Mannings would do that because they know BB. That’s family want jump because he wasn’t the starter this year. He would of never went to Texas if early playing time was important
Hasn’t played he started games this year fyi
With the portal you can have a great team overnight. He is probably getting paid good at Texas but I would leave if UNC calls with Belicheck
Yes, I agree with you that this could be very good for UNC or it could be a disaster. Either way, there will be a lot of eye balls and attention on UNC football going into the 2025 season. I guess that is better than being largely irrelevant and ignored. Even if things do go badly.
lol calling Vol Fans nuts when UNC just hired a 72 year old and you think Arch Manning is going to transfer to UNC over Texas
Have you seen UNCs schedule? They can definitely make the playoffs with the right portal additions.
