Am I remembering correctly that Belichick and Solich are close friends?

I was really hoping he could be a successor to Zac Taylor in Cincinnati. Sounds like that dream has died.

I'll go out on a limb: this ends up closer to Nick Saban's NFL record (15-17, 0.468) than it does to Nick Saban's bowl record (19-12, 0.613), and if I had to go out on a smaller limb, this ends up worse than Charlie Weis's overall college record (41-49, 0.455).

Feel free to rub my nose in this in 1, 2, or 3+ years time if I'm wrong

I saw something about getting a guarantee that his son would be his successor? That's....something. A 5 year deal, but what happens when he decides he is done after 2?

I'm shocked he wants to jump into this current landscape of college football, but I guess coaches like a challenge.

It's official. He had a 400-page manifesto/proposal of he would have to do it to be successful.

This will be interesting. He's never coached at the college level before, and the job is not the same. He could be very successful, or he might struggle. Only time will tell.

Yeah, and if college coaching is more personality-dependent, he might fail.

Considering that Mike Brown will probably keep Taylor around for another 15 years, that dream isn't entirely dead. Maybe he could come once he gets the UNC adventure out of his system.

I'm afraid it will get worse before it gets better for the Brown Family Bengals.

The story here in Boston is that he wants to bring in his son Steve from Washington as the DC and designate him HC in waiting. Also plans to bring in his other son from the Patriots.
The talking heads locally are shocked he is taking this job. He only needs 13 wins to pass Shula nd that's probably out of the question now.

It is shocking. You could've made a list of 100 possible destinations and UNC would not have appeared. It seems like he wanted low pressure/expectations, which I suppose I can understand. He will certainly have less stress than as head coach of the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, or Chicago Bears.

Then of course the all-too-easy jokes about wanting to surround himself with college aged females.

Bill will be dead before Taylor is no longer in Cincinnati.
