I think early Pats dynasty Bill was really good and the primary reason for success. Especially with those first three titles. The defense really carried that team, and a young Brady was more just a really good game manager and heady QB. In his later years, I think his defensive prowess was starting to expire and Brady was carrying the team. Especially with those last few titles. Was good in his day and time but I think well past his shelf life as a coach.

In fairness, I think Belichick was successful because he was good. Sure, having Brady helped a lot, but as VT fans, we know better than most that there are plenty of coaches that do way worse than the talent level on their team. Plus he was a damn good defensive coordinator on the Giant's glory days teams I grew up with before taking over the Patriots. Talent was there to succeed, but still had to have good coaching to be such a consistent winner.
Would you be willing to destroy your career's legacy for multiple millions of dollars? That's what Bill is doing and I think the vast majority of people would do the same thing given the opportunity.
My ex-fiancé probably looks up to her as a role model. At least she would have 25 years ago.

SaladHokie, is that you???
Man, I wish I had breasts....
Yeah if anything Belichick is the Trophy and she is the only winner in all of this. He has apparently helped her amass about $8M in real estate from a couple articles I read. Prior to her relationship with him she was thought to have about a $1M net worth due to her modeling career. He helped her buy a "cottage" in Cape Cod and three apartment buildings in Boston.
Oh, I should clarify there are definitely 2 sides of the same UNC coin here. There are still people within UNC who are ride or die with Belichick, and this is a power grab by the others to expose what happened to get that power back. Its messy, and its fun to watch
Oklahoma State reportedly has reached out to Saban to gauge his interest in returning to coaching.
The only part of this story I find interesting is the trophy girlfriend.
She's clearly very good at what she does.
This feels like it's two shades too cute if it's an inside job. A former provost who clearly wasn't a fan of the actions at the time quits as a result of them and then files a lawsuit airing all of the dirty laundry surrounding the hire doesn't seem like an effort by UNC to do anything. Feels like they got way over their skis because they could get Bill and now it's catching up with them. I'm sure they'd be fine getting out of it quietly, but this is big and messy. Not sure how that helps them with anything.
Couldn't happen to a better bunch of Tarholes! Also Belichick is just taking an axe to his legacy and I'm loving it. Think it's pretty obvious his success was primarily due to a once in a lifetime QB in Tom Brady. Then practically blackballed from the NFL due to how big of a jerk and cheater he was known to be, scams UNC into a college job, gets a trophy girlfriend almost a third of his age. Couldn't write a better script.

Have been listening to a couple podcasts down here the last couple weeks, from Ovies and Giglio to Adam Gold and... Yeah, this whole thing is getting messy. Long story short, boosters and university administrators made the decision to hire Belichick without consulting their AD, Bubba Cunningham, and did it all behind closed doors. Now, with everyone realizing this was probably an absolutely terrible decision, they're now trying every avenue possible to legally get out of the contract.
Its worth pointing out that the majority of journalists and news people here in NC come out of UNC and its system (to be fair, every public university in NC is a part of the UNC system). For decades there has always been a good relationship between UNC and the media.
This is an effort by UNC to use public pressure to get themselves out of a bad deal. They know what they're doing, and its only going to get messier before its resolved.
