Of course.
A 73 year old coach who hasn't coached in college, maybe ever, who is known as an old school hard ass not player friendly and isn't going to recruit high school kids all over the country
Yeah 10 years ago. I 100 percent agree
This is nothing but conjecture. Maybe the dude wants to recruit.
🤣🤣
Can't argue with that. He seems almost the last coach who would be up for the NIL era. For him, just recruiting at all would be a challenge.
Stop acting like a typical Cali dude. Come on grow up. Stop being a little baby
Just saying I doubt anyone talked to Bill on this board, therefore any speculation about his motives for taking the interview and potentially being interested is just speculation.
His girlfriend can work on her mastersSurprise candidate interviews for UNC football head coach job
Guess who the latest surprise name in the UNC head coaching vacancy is?
That would be interesting. I’d probably jump on that if I were UNC.
It’s amazing the drive and love for the game that some of these older guys have.
she is a hottie
I am not saying fire Freeman but when the GOAT is available you take him.
Yea there is zero precedent for a 70 year old hard ass coach succeeding in college. Oh Nick Saban. It would be a slam dunk for a school like North Carolina to hire the GOAT. The reward far outweighs the risk for that middling program
Nick Saban was a lifer in college. Bill has never coached in college. Nick is a dynamic charismatic personality. Bill has less personality than a doormat. Nick was successful in his 70s. Bill got fired and no nfl team hired him in his 70s.
I agree with you but he could hire a younger staff or some recruiting aces. Maybe Old Bill's g/f has him feeling young again. Who knows?
I was going to say this next. The NIL money has greatly diminished the need for an exciting personality recruiter. And BB would be more experienced in dealing with highly paid egotistical players.
Yea they’re not close, one couldn’t hack the big leagues for more than 1 season and resorted back to Triple A where he learned he could pay for players and out talent the league rather than out coach and quickly bailed when the playing field was leveled with NIL.
Saban was at Miami for 2 seasons plus had stints in the NFL as an assistant. Wasn't great at 15-17. Things might have played out differently if management would have acquired Drew Brees like he wanted. Some guys are just better equipped for the college game. Look at Lou Holtz. Quit before the season was even over in his one year in the NFL. Can't blame UNC for kicking the tires. Be foolish not to listen. Head coaches do very little actual coaching. They truly are CEOs with all the outside time demands. The ability to recognize and assemble a great staff is key. It is hard to imagine BB in a 18 year olds living room though....unless of course it was a young lady.
" quickly bailed " ? The guy is 72 years old. Is he supposed to work forever ? One of the greatest ever who has a great gig in his retirement. Good for him.
Clueless.
He is on record stating the changing landscape of college football was a driving force in him retiring. Quickly, as in quickly jumped ship once the playing field was leveled- he knew his dynasty was over. He clearly has plenty left in the tank.
Brady ?
Just supply him with enough purple pills to handle his business on and off the field.
Clueless. It had nothing to do with a more level playing and everything to do with a new generation of players with more of a sense of entitlement than a desire to earn their spot and everything that goes with it. I talk to the man at least twice a week. You know not of what you type.
