'Bill Belichick believed UNC was the BEST option for him' - Adam Schefter | First Take

[@dwahndenson6385]

Guess that will now kill all of that ESPN speculation, about him becoming the next coach of the Cowboys, THANK GOD 🏈💯

[@jhank0cean]

Yea the Cowboys are too far gone for Bill to save

[@briant4266]

They still gone have 7 cowboys spots an episode

[@adamschermerhorn9767]

They are panicking trying to make up for all the lost material they’ve lost as we speak 😂😂

​@@adamschermerhorn9767😅😅😅

[@zeppelinmexicano]

@@jhank0cean the sad truth is that if you remove Jerry from the picture the team immediately gets better. Addition by subtraction, and Bill would be "slightly" better at running a football organization, let's say.

[@bryanmahoney3434]

Stephen A Smith is getting on my last nerve when it comes to his opinion about College Football. All he wants is for the Legacy teams to continue to get bolstered up. It is great for College Football that the days of the Alabama's, Michigan's and Georgia's etc stockpiling talent and making it uncompetitive for the rest is over. Who cares what the size of a stadium is. Sure in recent history the schools were the draw for 4 and 5 star athletes. Now its the coaches who have the most cache. It was great for College Football Deion Sanders went to Colorado and equally great Bill Belichick went to a woeful program like UNC. We need more competitive programs in NCAA

[@vincente4570]

That I agree with and PS my Hurricanes will be in that circle sooner than later

[@flyingspacerock8968]

Steven A is backwards. Why he's trying to Maintain the status quo?

[@youngrichslime1]

No one cares bout college like that nfl is the top level competition someone like bill belichick doesn’t deserve to be in college he should get the record but this prove Brady was responsible for that dynasty

[@jontelmurphy5996]

Stephen A rubbed Dan Orlovsky wrong in this clip, Stephen A gotta watch how to talk to grown men sometimes

[@worldwide.88]

Nah fr. He lets them bright lights get to his ego at times. But Dan gotta grow a pair and stick up for himself😂 whether it’s on or off the show

[@luisvigo3777]

It was unnecessary

[@alexbryan556]

He likes to bully Dan bcuz max isn’t there anymore, it’s pretty obvious and pathetic tbh

[@americantitan2190]

[@BrutusJrThe3rd]

He gets the corners paid, thats for sure when they leave in free agency

Can you imagine Bill belichick coming into your living room to recruit you , I got a feeling some good things are about to happen in North Carolina shout out to Chapel Bill 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥... I'm not a dan orlovsky fan but he definitely should have checked Stephen a Smith for cutting him off mid sentence 🫵🏽🤔🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@De59161]

UNC a mid level program in a wide open major conference. He could be in the playoffs in a year or two. Then he'll be solidified on both levels. This is an underrated move 💪🏽

[@Hartmaniac]

9:52 Adam has always said anything to please NFL owners. Adam is lying about Robert Kraft praising Bill Belichick for the Falcons job. Kraft definitely wasn’t praising Bill as a future head coach.

[@MarkGrochowski-cd2kr]

There are things on video that disproves what Adam S said. Kraft berated BB because BB and the team didn't show up for one of Kraft's shindigs. Thought Kraft called BB the biggest ahole in the NFL and he can't be trusted.

5-year contract for a 72-year-old former NFL's GOAT coach? I hope he will remain healthy enough to complete this contract. I have my doubts.

[@chrissnape9537]

Maybe there wasnt the right job. Unless he wanted the Bears

[@Z38citnxidoei25hh]

I would like to see one former head coach brings a championship in the worst conference

[@17NateJohnson]

Bill is 72. I think he still wants to stay busy, but isn't as interested in being completely consumed with his job. I could be wrong.

[@chrismarshall1723]

This is actually a good move for bill it will help him connect with these younger kids and the next generation if he decides to make a NFL return.

[@squibkick]

How funny. Social media will recruit for Bill Belichick with conjecture.

[@newagestudios408]

As a lifelong Patriots fan this is very sad tbh, he definitely could do a better job than a lot of NFL coaches. Honestly wouldn’t have mind him still being our coach but it is what it is, I also understand that a lot of NFL teams are moving more towards younger coaches.

[@jonathanmuldrow8458]

I swear every time I see UNC, I think of Shannon Sharpe 1st (pause)

[@thomasedwinthomas]

Robert Kraft blackballed him because he treated him like crap.

[@chrislemus7276]

Did you watch the video? Stephen A brings it up and Adam Schefter reports that Robert Kraft spoke on Bill’s behalf when he was interviewing for the Falcons and Commanders job.

[@thomasedwinthomas]

Right now the Jets are looking for a new head coach. The Jets offered him the job years ago when he was working under Bill Parcells as an assistant. But they have no interest in him today? The Jets need a complete overhaul and he has the experience to do that. No team was going to offer him a job after two seasons of waiting. He got the message.

[@jaymorr2414]

Was Bill unfairly overlooked for an nfl HC job thus being unfairly discriminated against...Gasp! Where is the outcry for Bill like for Eric Beinemy?

Dan really loves to talk doesn’t he? 😂

As a shane beamer, die hard south carolina fan it kinda scares me just a little, that its gonna b a little harder to get that north carolina high school football talent now..

[@MarkGrochowski-cd2kr]

What happened to the "don't trust him" and he's the biggest ahole in the nfl? Wasn't that Kraft? The hit job of the "Dynasty". I read the book it was a Bledsoe, Brady, and Kraft love stor

Absolute nonsense
