For me it's because he's the best football coach of his generation.
If UNC accepts his terms he's going to have a bundle to spend on NiL and staff. Concerns about a longtime NFL coach having to relate to and manage high school recruits are less important in the age of NiL.
He's a great coach; feel like the baseline assumption should be he'd be successful at UNC.
As long he doesn't hire Matt Patricia to be his OC.

He'll be 73 years old by the start of next season. He's never coached in the college game in any position. I think it's a weird idea and hire.

Recruiting has changed. Cash is the best closer.

remember bill was the one who refused to pay his own players in FA and had no patience for it. this is going to go as well as it did for Asu and Herm.

Maybe, but there’s no salary cap in college.

this is going to be an epic disaster. It will be a joy to watch. There will be a slight uptick in success year 1 but there will be moments when their fans go “uh oh…”

Can’t wait for this disaster when he gets hired. Same thing I told my boy about Martendale when he went to Michigan

Tom Brady isn’t suiting up to play QB for him…

Honestly he doesn't have too... I mean if it's a major 5 star I'm sure he'll do an in house... Maybe... But the key is have his guys get the players on campus and Bill does his thing from there...
People can hate on Bill all they want but his accomplishments carry major weight... Does that guarantee success???. Of course not but many a needle will be moved...

I’m hoping he gets hired so after his tenure I can say I told you so, then I can watch the goalpost takes be pushed all the way out the stadium.

Not saying that I just have my doubts he gets the roster he thinks he will. And are unc boosters willing to help football more than basketball? That’s really the multimillion dollar question. I’m assuming same donors give to both programs. It’s not the grand slam you assume it is

Never said grand slam... He brings a lot to the table is all
Edit : To the point of Tom Brady... Bill was part of the team that picked him and made the choice to play him as well... Having an eye for talent is a good thing for a Coach...Especially when it turns into the best QB ever...
If I remember correctly he also was part of picking someone else and developing him... Guy named Lawrence Taylor... Arguably the greatest defensive player ever... Dude single handily changed the way defense was played and Coached against...
With that said I think that's a **** of a thing to talk to a high school kid about as far as what can be potentially done with that player....
