Transcript
00:00it didn't go as planned after the team's first touchdown drive it went up seven zip and uh well
00:06people were putting them in the national title game after that first touchdown but it was all
00:12downhill from there they didn't really uh they didn't really keep up that that vibe that they
00:17had early on the crowd was into it they had all the famous unc alums there and then they got blown
00:24out i did not know this until this morning but that was the worst loss of bill belichick
00:29head coaching career score wise really yeah wait a minute yeah did you know that i thought i'm like
00:37that's impossible even because i know that when he was with the browns the cowboys killed him
00:41yeah even that one that apparently was the worst one kansas city spankers yeah 14 i i i couldn't
00:49believe it personal worst 511 career games in the nfl the most points a bill belichick coach team had
00:58allowed was when the patriots had given up 47 in a loss in the wild card game four seasons ago
01:05you might remember that one 2021 yeah yeah thanks buffalo but when he gave up 48 points last night
01:14he had never done that before he had never given up 48 points in a game in 511 games as a head coach
01:22last night he did and and that is a tough look for a guy who is a defensive minded head coach and is
01:30viewed as a defensive mastermind and has the resume that he has and last night espn kept telling you
01:36about the belichick family defense and it did not go well for them and i think at the end of the day
01:43unc being in the acc tough place to recruit to talent is a problem there it's going to be a problem
01:51moving forward you can't make up for being unc like you can't just walk in and say i'm a great
01:56football coach i'm going to make up for the fact that i don't play in a premier conference and i don't
02:00play against premier teams every weekend we're going to play charlotte and richmond the next two
02:06weeks do you want to go play at unc or do you want to go to georgia you're going to go to georgia
02:11like didn't want to pay guys here and thought just we'll coach guys up we'll get the right kind
02:16of guys and we'll win now you find out at unc shoot we're going to go pay kid five million bucks to go
02:22get him yeah he's not going to want to just come here to win and i think also though guys wanted
02:26to come here especially early in my career and or way before i got here because they wanted the chance
02:31to win so you might have had a guy that was a great player you know spent seven years somewhere else
02:38made a lot of money but like all right i'll come here take a pay cut for two years what a super
02:43bowl yeah a super bowl then go sign another big three-year contract and write it out somewhere
02:48else i'm upset like you you were tight with toony yeah uh that weird covid year where we tagged him
02:54yeah then we ended up trading him no we didn't trade him we let him go in free agency but walked
02:58walked okay that's what everyone thought that was that was crazy he was getting we all thought he was
03:04getting traded week what eight or whatever what did what did he think what was he thinking like
03:09was he happy happy you're gonna make the money but he knew how to win here yeah i think he wanted to
03:15stay here and i think from guys that that jesus from guys that i know in the position a lot of guys
03:22wanted to stay here you know you play here you do love it you fall in love boston is an amazing place
03:27to be and i think a lot of guys fell in love with it and um you know i think at the end of the day
03:33though you're not talking money and it's such a short window grab to go somewhere else so if the
03:40offers aren't competitive at all you got to go you got to go make the money and for joe i mean
03:45hell of a trade-off going from tv 12 to my homes i mean how many rings show good work if he could
03:53find it he's got two of us three three with them i think three or two yeah he's got one for the thumb
04:00he's got he might no he might only have four because then they went in 20 they won in 20
04:06no 20 was brady and they beat uh 20 was what 20 was here 21 actually well the 20 2019 season yeah
04:16early 2020 mahomes they beat san fran the 20 season was brady then mahomes or no he didn't
04:25joe burrow joe burrow he's got four he's got 22 and and then 23 but we're getting off topic
04:30how bad of a look is this for bill last night it wasn't great i mean that's look i have so much
04:36respect and and appreciation for bill so that is what it is and that will never change but that was that
04:42was tough and i think i felt like after watching that first drive like here we go this is i'm jumping
04:49on and you know it it's hard you gotta you gotta have talent to win games talent is the first step
04:58to winning games your culture your scheme and all that other stuff that's what wins you the big games
05:03and and takes you far into the season but without talent it's a talent-based business and i don't care
05:09you could have the best coach and the best schemes the other team's more talented most times they're
05:14going to beat you you were a part of some early season lopsided losses right over the years yeah
05:21that teams turned it around right you guys turned it around you found your way is there less reason
05:26to believe that that unc team can turn it around because of what you just said which is i'm not sure
05:32they have the talent to turn it around and refocus and regroup i i think the hard thing that is going
05:38to be for bill in the nfl you're locked into a contract so now and i think that's a problem with
05:45all the college teams right now that aren't big schools that guys that are talented and the team
05:53struggles they're just going to leave instead of staying there and trying to build that program
05:59be a part of the change um you know and i think guys you know it's so different it's so hard to talk
06:07about because it was nothing like that when i was here and then in the nfl it's not like that you
06:10can't just get up and leave one day so um you know that's going to be hard and i think you know
06:18the recruiting aspect of it's hard and like you said you throw money in now and i don't know what
06:24guys are looking at when they're going to schools you know when i was coming out a lot of guys it was
06:28like the facilities that was the big thing and at georgia we didn't have great facilities at the time
06:32and it was like you know we didn't even have an indoor so like all these different things
06:36now are they looking at that are they looking at money i i don't know you know because at 18 years
06:43old it's a little bit everything i think yeah i think so you put in you know it's like all right
06:47alabama is going to give me you know in those bigger schools like the alabama georgia florida's
06:53clemson's they're going to have more money i would assume right i don't know but you would assume
06:59those bigger programs have more money to throw around to guys or equal money right yeah unc's
07:05never going to beat anybody on money so then you sit there and you look and you're a kid like all
07:09right i'm going to get a million dollars to go to georgia or unc georgia's seems like a lot better
07:16place right so then that's where it gets hard i don't know so when you weren't paying people it
07:21was it was all these alabama because they were winning so all the five stars are lined up there
07:24you got it down to five you end up picking alabama that's one thing i'd watch a lot of football
07:28over the weekend feels like the sec is down now i know they've twisted this conference and
07:34twisted the big 10 the pac-12 and nothing but it makes sense anymore but parody and nil money
07:40saban knew exactly when to get out you look at a new coach at alabama what's it deborah
07:46deborah he's like scattered on the side he doesn't look like he knows what the hell he's doing
07:52the quarterback's terrible you're like wow that used to be a powerhouse five years ago 10 years ago
07:5815 years ago and saban had like one loss every year one loss every year well you wanted you you
08:03would you could get these five stars to come now the five-star quarterback doesn't want to sit on
08:08the bench right he's not gonna wait his turn like like arch manning last year and i know his
08:11performance wasn't great saturday but say last year that i think that's very rare in college football
08:18now that a guy's gonna sit wait when you could say all right well i'll just leave and go here and
08:23play right definitely you know why wouldn't you do that and i don't think five million bucks a year to be the
08:27back up to win yours yeah i don't think that's right but if you can go get right five million
08:31from somewhere else but he loves sark see he loves sark and sark had that hook no and i think i think
08:35maybe his family too is kind of like driving some of these decisions they got a good head on their
08:39shoulders it doesn't look good i don't like the kids that you got to look at the background all of a
08:44sudden he was at appalachian state then he went to oregon and like the whole bone nicks thing yeah
08:50i have a bigger problem people always ask like oh the nil transfer i have a bigger problem with the
08:56transfer portal than i do nil because guys should you know you should get compensated for some of
09:02that stuff that you know the university is making all the money but the transfer portal that that's
09:07not real you guys can't leave this radio job right now and go i mean there's consequences to do that
09:12you know i mean you you sign a contract you do something which you are doing when you sign your
09:17scholarship then that should be the rules that's commitment yeah i just and it doesn't work like
09:22that sure michael parsons can get traded but david andrews couldn't i couldn't have walked into
09:28the bill's office be like trade me someone what are they going to give
