As we all know by now, Bill Belichick is now the head coach at North Carolina. On Friday, new North Carolina GM and former Oakland Raiders GM Mike Lombardi joined Christopher Russo for his weekly segment on Sirius radio. Lombardi wasted no time taking a shot at the Miami Hurricanes head coach, Mario Cristobal.

Lombardi was asked by Russo to give a rundown of the responsibilities with his new job title. While providing the description of various responsibilities, Lombardi said:

“That job will entail player evaluations, developing a grading system, building a team around what you want to become. That’s so important, you know. In college you have all these first round picks. Well, you still got to build a team. I mean, Mario Cristobal has been wonderful in recruiting, but they haven’t been able to get to the final 12. You got to build a full team, it’s not about winning the recruiting battle. It’s about making the team the best it can be. So, for me that’s the job.”

 

I hope Mario is laughing his *** off.

 

Shame that ****tard lombardi wont be around for the absolute crushing Mario is going to bring to unc this year.

 

Lack of institutional control

 

I remember when UM joined ACC and hearing stuff from UVA and VT buddies that the Carolina schools would take it as we were the first minority family joining a country club. To them, we were like Rodney Dangerfield in CaddeyShack. However, to my recollection, UNC had a very serious academic scandal with their athletes to which they got off and now this. Couldn't happen to a better school.

Ah yeah you’re right. I remember Julius Peppers I think? There was an African American studies class that was being used to basically keep football players eligible. Went on for decades IIRC

 

The 30 for 30 on Bill Belichick's time in UNC is going to hit like the drugs his son was taking

That was the FIRST one, they had a way later one in 2010-ish, that is when all the players were taking like a swahili course and couldnt say one word

 

So are we to understand that nepotism hiring is bad?

Who knew

 

They are going to hold this in their back pocket and see if Bill somehow has a miracle season. If he doesn’t, no chance he’s making it out of Chapel Hill with any buyout money.

And we got the death penalty talk over some Benihana

Basketball academic mess under Roy Williams really shed light on the not so pure operation.

 

Player with a Recruiting Staff Member

As opposed to a coaching staff member ******* a recruits mom or a janitor or staffer at other schools?

 

So that’s what Lombardi is accused of? Firing women and minorities? At UNC??

I don't think it's going to be that interesting. Sports documentaries where the team sucks and there's drama aren't that compelling. It would have to be about him specifically to be interesting, going from New England to this.

 

 

ESTE ES UN MOJÓN

Hearing all the stories of Bill's 20 year old girlfriend in practice and facility, showing footage of what was supposed to be have "hard knocks" type of show last year until they lost so much, that whole process of cancelling the show, not to mention drugs between coaches and players and players apparently sleeping with each other. This can be a full fledge hollywood movie.

 

Lombardi is awful. Always has been, and well before he even got to UNC. But with everything going on with that football program, there seems to be a concerted effort by national media to try and make Lombardi the scapegoat, and insulate Bill. Pretending that the head coach didn't know what Lomabardi was doing, what Bill's son was doing, and what many members of the staff were doing, is laughable.

Meanwhile, you can see what the UNC administration is doing. They are building a massive case against Bill and he will be fired with cause this year, and Bill won't get that buyout money.

 

I wish they just kept their football show smh lol. Had elite analysis but they couldn’t accept that their time was finished

Bill can either (1) resign and go quietly or (2) get fired and sue. If the allegations are true, it's best they separate amicably.
That said, Bill has been so reckless and unpredictable that UNC might be better off just paying him to leave.

I imagine there will be lawsuits from staffers and settlements to make it all go away.
