Update: Belichick has agreed to become the next UNC coach. Belichick handed the school a 400 page “organizational bible” with structure, payment plans, staffing choices etc. decisions on whether to commit with UNC. He is expected to know their decision within 24 hours.
Per sources, I’m told Bill Belichick’s negotiations with North Carolina include a guarantee that Stephen Belichick will be named the school’s head coach in waiting. UNC is open to that guarantee. Discussions are not a bid to gain leverage for NFL offers and BB is open to the move.

Greg Olsen: "Here is the next step in in-game management.". Tom Brady: "What a juiced-up team. When I see a quarterback do that, it gets me fired up and gets his defense feeling the juice. That's playoff football. Wow.".
The next step in game management. Team trailing by 13 scores a TD. Go for 2 to try to cut the lead to 5. If you give up a FG you are down 8 and still within 1 possession. Being down 6, you give up a TD or a FG you are down 2 scores. Who will be first team to make the move?.

Coaches got paid. Sponsor got paid. NCAA got paid. Schools got paid. Player who sustained career ending, life altering, neck injury received nothing.
Sad news for #Miami standout CB: Malek Young will undergo career-ending surgery for a neck injury he sustained during the Hurricanes’ game against Wisconsin in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

Bowles is one of the top defensive architects in the sport (even if it's been a mess at times this season), but you cannot continue to go into the playoffs with a coach who so often gags away key moments -- or full games -- with awful clock management.
The Bucs have to move on from Bowles, regardless of the outcome today, and promote Liam Coen to HC. They cannot risk losing him for more of *this*.

Chapel Bill: six-time Super-Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach at North Carolina, sources tell me, @PeteThamel and @ClowESPN. Belichick is going back to school, to where his father served as an assistant coach in the 1950s.

One of the most hilariously spun statements of all time.
Statement from Eric Bieniemy’s agent, Jason Fletcher: . “Eric and UCLA mutually parted ways today as previously planned. He’s still getting paid by the Commanders. After interviewing for head coaching jobs last year, he wanted to stay active and busy. So, he decided to go help
