Members of Belichick’s coaching staff have already spoken to other schools that are expected to be in CFB Playoff about taking on roles during the postseason. From one coach: “the rats are leaving the ship”. Some staffers believe a change will come within two weeks

Reports of serious recruiting violations remain under investigation at UNC. Recruiting and practice violations have already been proven by the school, according to multiple sources.

Using recruit violations to knockdown a coaches buyout has become a standard practice. If Belichick cannot find a landing spot to trigger his own buyout, he’s excepted to accept a greatly reduced, compromised rate

Belichick's communication with his staff in the past two weeks has been described as "weird" and "distant" by multiple members of UNC's coaching staff. Multiple coaches were unable to get hold of him during UNC's bye week

From one UNC defensive assistant: "What we've done to these kids is fucked up."

@OllieConnolly Just really sad, in my mind. New England doesn’t win six Super Bowls without Belichick, but he’s done everything over the past five years to ruin a great deal of that goodwill with New England fans and of course, across the country people were just itching to take him down.

@OllieConnolly I think Bill Belichick would take a lesser buyout and make things peaceful for UNC. He's not as bad as people think. UNC doesn't want to be embarrassed and Belichick certainly doesn't want to blemish his legacy too much. I do love the trainwreck though.

@OllieConnolly I still don’t understand why he went to UNC of all places. If he wanted to try college ball I assume boosters of major power houses would have came knocking to see what it would take to bring him aboard

@OllieConnolly ESPN’s 30 for 30 on this debacle will be hilarious. Curious how much blame is on elder abuse Jordan Hudson.

@OllieConnolly Call it a career Coach, go Fishing, travel. Get out of this new Age of hate in the Media. It's non-stop nowadays. You got money up the ass, enjoy yourself, like your Pal, Nick Saban. Disappear, now the media will have a Agenda if they keep up the hate. Turn it around now, Coach.

@OllieConnolly And once upon a time, there was a serious debate about whether it was Brady or Belichick that was the reason for the Patriots ludicrous success.

@OllieConnolly What was gonna go down as arguably the greatest coaching career ever is now going to end in one of the most mind boggling horrible ways, gotta leave the game before it leaves you smh.

@OllieConnolly what Belichick has done to UNC is worse than 9/11. Yeah, I said it. These kids will never get this time back.

@OllieConnolly Does this mean his girlfriend would have to leave her sorority?

@OllieConnolly Has Belichick ever won anything without Brady?

@OllieConnolly Has Bill Belichick considered bringing in Matt Patricia to run his offense? It could be the boost the college needs to turn this around. Please pass this suggest along next you see him, Ollie.

@OllieConnolly He’s literally pulling a reverse Saban, that is hilarious 😂 Come in to the other league as a legend, absolutely F everything up, then leave the team high and dry mid-season as you go back to your comfort zone

@OllieConnolly “Or in media” nobody wants to listen to that crust arrogant old head. Get that guy out of here

@OllieConnolly Thank god for Brady. I think there’s like a legit 15% chance that if Brady never was what he was BB would have become a college lacrosse coach like 15 years ago lol. This is barely a joke

@OllieConnolly Well with his bubbly personality and just unbelievable charisma, i doesn't know how anyone in media wouldn't want his chipper ass on their shows.

@OllieConnolly @GerryCallahan Just go away. Belichick has ruined what reputation he had. New England was all TB12 and zero Hoodie.

@OllieConnolly I wish I could completely suck at my job and tell my employer that I'd like to leave and they have to pay me 1M to go. Must be nice.

@OllieConnolly That didn't take long. Never made any sense anyway. Never coached college ball, old, 40% winning percentage without Brady. Brady didn't have any college eligibility left. UNC gets what it deserves for giving him a job.

@OllieConnolly Maybe there's space to jump back on Brady's coattails...

@OllieConnolly @AhnRee__ Dieon Sanders won 4 games his first year in Colorado. This is no different.

@OllieConnolly Doesn’t get much softer than the couch

@OllieConnolly I’m not buying any of this

@OllieConnolly I almost hope we get a report that Bill has some sort of mental decline that led to all this. The alternative is that he purposely ruined a school's entire season, wasted an entire rosters year of eligibility and blemished an entire staffs resume...

@OllieConnolly The only thing that could make this story better is Tom Brady taking over for Belichick and immediately leading the Tarheels to the playoffs.

@OllieConnolly Wait until he sees what the buyout is from Jordon Hudson.

@OllieConnolly Bill sold UNC a bag of magic beans that turned out to be just pieces of 💩 and he will be paid handsomely for it, pretty disgraceful ending for a once great coach

@OllieConnolly He’s doing what they said prime would do… wonder if he’ll get the same backlash 🌚

@OllieConnolly Bubba be shocked to hear that

@OllieConnolly Belichick wants that statue erected outside Gillette Stadium sooner than later.

@OllieConnolly @EricaKaiser_ As part of any deal, does Jordon Hudson have to stay back in Chapel Hill? Blink twice, and we'll send help, Bill!

@OllieConnolly I guess Brady really was the mind behind all those rings 😂 @odds_n_evans
