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.”

Underachieving? Win bowl game and best season in over 20 years. Take your tears somewhere else

Hopefully Cristobal getting **** on by others around cfb makes him reconsider his approach.

Number 1 offense in the country nothing to show for it
Year 3 no ACC chip appearance
No playoff appearance

But if you want to enjoy your participation trophy and Pop-Tart bowl, then enjoy

It still underachieved with money spent and QB on the roster with that schedule.....regardless if it was the best statistical season from a wins-losses standpoint and offensive standpoint.

The shot would be fine from someone else, but Lombardi is a failure and pariah. The only thing keeping him relevant is his friendship with Belichick. For the last decade, he's been exiled to podcasts where he makes bitter rants and runs off co-hosts.

One of the reasons Belichick has been a disaster without Brady is because he keeps around flunkies like this fat idiot.

Mike Lombardi is one of the worst executives in professional sports history. He was an executive for the Eagles in 1998 when they went 3-13 after being out of a job for three years after the Cleveland debacle, he was then hired by Al Davis and turned the Raiders roster from one of the most talented to the absolute garbage can of the NFL, was a ******* personnel assistant for one year in 07 and then stayed out of a job in the NFL for SIX YEARS.

Was hired by Cleveland as the GM in 13 and fired a year later. Dude hung himself onto Belichicks nuts, that's his greatest achievement. Everywhere he went, everything went to ****, he got canned or let go and then, nobody wanted him back. A wannabe know-it-all.

And for our beloved Eagles fans, here's a statement of his from 2017: https://www.bleedinggreennation.com...agles-mike-lombardi-carson-wentz-ringer-video

Guess what the **** the Eagles did in the 2017 season...

He’s got beef with Mario.

Funny enough, Ward will be playing. For the Raiders next year. Suck it Lombardi.

There's something about Mario that turns aloooooot of ppl off. You see it with Fran Brown, some of the whispers about boosters being fed up with him, Venables taking shots out of nowhere, his exit from FIU.

I'm not saying that as a good or bad thing. It's just very apparent alot of grown folks do not fw him for whatever reason.

it’s a shame we don’t play them next year. No idea which Lombardi but I saw enough at former raiders gm. Not worried the slightest about unc.

This is the guy talking about evaluations but drafted Damon arnette in the first round?

Lombardi is an overrated nepo executive with friends in high places who also looks like Chris Christie and he has the nerve to take shots

but I know a segment of CIS will eat up all his comments

You're not wrong, and neither is Lombardi. Going into year 4, our team has holes all over it. A defense that can't stop anything. Mario built that.

I honestly wonder why. Everyone given a chance will tee off on him.
