Bad deal for both parties involved. Belli handing them a 400 page guideline and saying his son will succeed him. And on the flipside, there's no way Belli wants to deal with recruiting, the portal, and dealing with alumni & boosters.
Belichicks not gonna do any recruiting. Part of the guideline is he’ll run the coaching staff and they will have a separate recruiting staff run by a gm.

Still trying to wrap my mind around this. Recruiting is the thing that I am concerned about. Your new college landscape involves recruiting not only future players, but your current ones as well. Beli doesn't strike me as the type willing to relish having to deal with that on a regular basis. Even if he initially attracts a lot of high level recruits, he is eventually going to have to convince them to stay long term.

He's got to do some type of recruiting tho, at least to the top prospects. Break them off a phone call or something. He did post game press for decades, but now he's got to do that plus alumni dinners and fundraisers, mingle and shake hands with heavyweight boosters, give motivational speeches everywhere, talk glowingly about the school, keep players from hitting the portal, NIL, etc. He can't hide out and not say anything like he did at New England. This is a different animal

It's bill Belichick

Imagine bill Belichick being in your home recruiting your kid?

:beli:
10-20 years ago this would hold weight. With kids getting paid outright and jumping in the portal at will his or any coach's status doesn't matter. And apparently he knows this by outlining a separate recruiting staff.

He’s gotten word that no one in the nfl wants him and doesn’t want to deal with the embarrassment of getting shut out again.

Belichick has always been tapped in with the college game, bringing college concepts to the pros, long before it became the norm

From getting ideas from Saban's defense, learning the spread from Chip Kelly, being the first team to run the Air Raid offense. He's been been at several college programs this year. While he should be in the pros, I think this could work, even on some short-term shyt

From reading reports this is all about him taking care of his kids and setting them up.

The idea that the NFL has passed him by is silly. The best HC hire this year in the NFL has been John Harbaugh, who's more old school than any of the other first year coaches. All of the other first year coaches have been terrible besides Harbaugh. McDonald has been decent but all the other hires we all know are going to end sooner rather than later.
