can't let the opportunity of so many sports journalists being here without recognizing our national championship winning women's soccer team which wants 23rd National Championship here on [Applause] Mond indeed I also want to thank my colleague Bubba Cunningham I said I've said said publicly earlier that that Bubba is among the most respected and admired athletic directors in the country and the

it's always a great day to be a tarheel but today is an especially great day to be a tarheel we've been playing football at Carolina since 1888 and I suspect that in those 136 years there are few days that have been as auspicious as this one I've said many times that we want to be the best public university in the United States and that means excellence in everything that we do we're going to have an excellent college football program we want to compete with the best and we've hired the best coach I was sent this morning this excerpt from Carolina's football media guide from 1954 it's talking about one of the assistant coaches Stephen Nicholas belich when Steve joined the Carolina coaching staff two Springs ago he felt right at home working alongside Bill Edwards who had already come here Edwards was Steve's coach at Western Reserve and for the past four years Steve had been ass an assistant to Edwards at vanderbel he began his career he began his coaching career at Southwestern Louisiana institute during his Navy V12 training became head coach at Ham College in Ohio and remained on that job three years before joining Edwards at vanderbelt Steve belich established a record for himself as a coach on pass defense at vanderbelt Steve is is married to the former Janette mun of West Palm Beach Florida they have a 2-year-old son William Steven so coach welcome back to Carolina thank [Applause] you thank you very much uh Chancellor really appreciate the kind words and um in the immortal words of Yogi Bara the future ain't what it used to be and we are embarking on an entirely new football operation and we can't wait to have Coach belich leading the charge for us over the last four or five years anytime there's been a search anywhere in the country they thought the first two people you should call are Brad Stevens and Jay Wright so that's why I called first I didn't think either one of them were interested but then we said all right how big can our list be and who should be on it and we are here today to celebrate an incredible day for Carolina Athletics and having coach belich join us at the University we are known as the University of national champions and we have a Super Bowl champion coach who's here to lead the program with him today is also Michael Lombardi former general manager in the NFL and the future of College athletics is changing and we want to be in the Forefront of that coach belich has demonstrated his passion for teaching for coaching and for lifelong learning and he is an absolute perfect fit for us at this time

got a little wear on it um well um Chancellor Bubba uh thank you um I can't um express my gratitude to both of you the bo of Trustees um for this um amazing opportunity um I've always always wanted a coach in football uh coach in college football and um it just never really worked out um had some good years in the NFL so that was okay but um this is really kind of a dream come true I I grew up in college football with my dad uh as a coach of Navy for 50 years so as a kid all I knew was college football and um and so it's great to to come back home to Carolina uh and um you know back in an environment that I I really grew up in um you know when you're little you don't remember everything obviously I was too young to remember a lot of things from Carolina but as as I grew up you know you hear the same story over and over and over and over again and so one story I always heard was Billy's first words were beat Duke so uh full circle but um again very uh grateful and appreciative uh for the opportunity um this is a great process I I've learned so much about the university and the support that uh we have for the football program um and this is you know obviously a great educational um school and and the kids here are outstanding and uh we want to you know transfer that over to the football field and have an outstanding football team uh with those student athletes so um you know I'm here to to um as Bubba said um teach develop uh and build uh program and in the way that I believe in and so grateful to have Michael um you know with me in this process Michael and I have worked together for uh gone all the way back over 30 years and um you know he has a great U knowledge of of the general manager uh role of if you will in this type of position uh with terms of you know scouting two sets of players high school players and College portal players as well as um dealing with some version of what called salary cap which is uh now um you know part of college football so um all that being said um I look forward wward to um working you know here uh I talked to the players a little earlier and you know that was a a great opportunity to to um start to get to know them and and start to build the program um and I'm I'm excited to continue that process um and also met with Coach kitens who will be you know the first member of the staff that we hire and um you know I have a ton of respect for him um as well as for Mac um you know a lot of respect for Mack and and his his career what he's done uh so uh also look forward to you know connecting with him down the road but um excited to be here excited to being in college football uh excited for the opportunity to to build and develop young student athletes young men and prepare them for um their life either in the NFL or professionally uh but the lessons they learn uh will be be professional lessons uh they'll be Pros uh in all areas and and that's what we want to develop as long as as well as having a winning Pro program a successful program but we want to develop good good people and good kids and good football players so Steve thank you coach um forgive me before we go to questions one Omission there are a lot of luminaries in the room right now but only one of you were inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame the last six months Julius Peppers congrats PE okay again please if you would uh identify yourself and your affiliation quickly let's let's get through the questions quickly so we can get to as many people as possible hold your hands right now because I've got seven assigned already we're going to start over here on the right hand side Aaron beard with the AP I've already done that part go ahead Aon uh hi coach uh when you were studying college football in the last year and examining it you know so much more has come into professionalism in the model whether it's nil portal Revenue sharing coming up how how many parallels did you see to what the experience you've had at the pros and and do you envision it sort of being like a mini NFL team in that regard um yeah thanks Aaron uh I I do think there are a lot of parallels there's certainly some differences but uh there are some parallels and and I think that's the uh reason for the general structure of uh you know Michael as a general manager and myself as a coach and working together uh collaboratively like we have done uh you know in a professional organization so yeah I do think there's some parallels there's differences for sure but yes right next brenon I'm sorry coach go ahead hey Bill brenon marks from the athletic uh at what point in this process did you decide or know that you wanted to become the next head coach here was there a singular moment when that happened and can you elaborate on the investment that North Carolina and your conversations with the chancellor and Bubba made to make you feel comfortable taking the role um yeah I mean it was uh uh you know we went through a process but it was great every step of the way was great the support was tremendous um you know all the things that I feel are important to have a successful program uh Bubba and and um Chancellor Roberts reaffirmed and uh I I think they made you know they've made a great commitment to this program obviously a great University uh and I'd say along the way as kind of uh things uh got out if you will uh the amount of support that I got from uh Carolina grads former Carolina football players um you know people are connected with this University was was really overwhelming um and not that I'm social media expert because I'm not but there was an awful lot of you know positive um feedback from uh my face and stuff like that and it was great front row left here chip chip Alexander news observer and Raleigh I just I'm roughly your age so I ask you this respectfully just at 72 why do you want to keep coaching what's in it for you youve you've proven yourself over and over and your legacy is said why keep coaching well be working yeah know when you love what you do uh and my dad told me this when you love what you do it's not working uh it's really it's I love what I do I love coaching I love the interaction with the players I love building a team working with the assistants game planning the game itself uh which you know there's some good ones there's some bad ones but they're all learning experience and and uh working with you know young kids who with the energy enthusiasm to want to be good to want to be uh successful it's uh you know it's great every day to wake up and and come into that environment thank you we got Andrew then Michael hey Coach Andrew Jones tario Illustrated a lot of talks been made about the different how college football's a lot more like the NFL like what you were talking a few minutes ago with finances what about scheme how much can you take from the intricacies of the scheme you use with the Patriots to college when you don't have as much time with the college kids uh yeah that's great question Andrew I think in some respects you have more time than with college kids not as much meeting time but more practice time uh certainly more opportunities to to practice in pads and work on fundamentals and things like that so uh you know it's a trade-off but uh you know in the end uh scheme wise uh I want to be versatile um and and take advantage of the Personnel that we have and so uh I've always coached that way I don't want to just you know one run run one front and run four or five plays and that I just don't believe in that I believe in attacking the defense uh in in uh defending what the offense does well and that takes through some versatility all two two teams aren't the same and I think you have to play them differently from week to week so uh that's what we'll do and and we'll use our Personnel the best we can to do that but uh we'll have a a versatile and a system that will incorporate any good player um if we have a good player I've never said I've never told Michael hey that's a good player we can't use them give us a good player and our scheme will we we'll find a way to work that player into the geme Michael then Adam over here on the left coach hey there coach Michael Co at wchl and chapel.com here in Chapel Hill you've mentioned that you've talked to the current players already have you had conversations with some UNCC football alums guys like Julius and other players in the past and what have those conversations if you have had them been like uh yes I've had uh conversations with uh you know J LT many the greatest players that have played here um very supportive uh you know talked to Michael the other day very supportive uh there's been a ton of support uh from ex players and you know other UNCC alums this is a great uh great brand and and a great support system here so I'm excited to just spend more time uh with these people and and and to get the support that they've um uh I'll say promised but that they've you know uh indicated that that they how much they want to be a part of the program and and how much I want them part of it thank you Adam right here on the end Coach second row and then Brian hey Bill Adam Smith with inside Carolina uh what were your impressions of UNCC as a football program from the outside when you were in the NFL for so many years it sounds like when you would come back here to scout occasionally the place made you know an impression on you well come back here to scout is um you know as a coach kind of get where you you know go where you want to go right and maybe you send your assistance to um you know somewhere else you you take the trip to Carolina take some of the other better trips but uh you know Michael and I have made many trips down here to the Scout players um but you know I'd say the overall impression like great place to go to school great you know great program but um you know it's it's been a while you know 1980 you know that was the Heyday really and we got Taylor right after that at the Giants uh and talked so much about you know the tar Hills and and their great program and and kind of hasn't been to that point since so um you know I think there's there's a lot pride and and in this program and you know I want to do everything I can here to to help you know take it to the highest level got about five in this section uh Brian then Marty right in front of him Brian go ahead hey coach Brian Murphy with wrl um two two if you don't mind how do you envision filling out your staff do you think it'll be former NFL coaches will it be current college coaches and what about your son and then for Bubba and and Chancellor did it take some time for you to get comfortable with the idea of hiring a coach with no college experience uh one who's a little bit old um and and how did that process sort of play out how did you become comfortable with that coach you first please um you know on the staff we'll hire the best coaches we can hire um I want to do everything I can to help this program and make it as strong as possible so uh we'll hire the best ones we can get uh there are several college coaches that are involved in bowl games and and so forth and so I wouldn't uh interfere with the with the process at those you know those schools with the with their commitments to their team so so um you know we'll see how it goes but it look in the end um I I've already had you know a lot of people contact me um there'll certainly be a strong presence of NFL people on the staff I I think that's a certainty and and not only in the staff but in the training area but um at the same time uh I'm looking for the best people we can get for Carolina and uh that fit I think is a little different than what an NFL team would have but we'll see chancer do you want to go first Buba kind of got over the hump um on the Collegiate head coaching experience with Damon nah house and Aon [Applause] Matson nothing add to that I didn't know if the chancellor wanted to weigh in on that no Marty go ahead coach good afternoon Marty Smith from ESPN when a guy like you with that resume walks in the door here expectation skyrockets I I wonder how you'll Define success at the University of North Carolina we've seen that guys can flip programs quickly in the portal era so what is success to you here yeah well success is uh you know it's a day-by-day process and the only thing we can really do anything about is you know today tomorrow um you know what's immediately in front of us so take advantage of every opportunity we have to build the team improve the team um get better and keep stringing a lot of good days together and and the results will come Pat Welter uh Pat Welter wrl Bill what do you say to people that fear that if you do succeed here that you might leave for the NFL again in a year or two yeah I didn't come here to leave art chansy then skip AR chansky Newton Massachusetts um evaluation of the roster and roster turn over is very important uh besides talking to the players individually and watching film what other ways are you to evaluate this current roster to see what kind of additions you might need through the portal and other measures is you can't work them out on the field before spring practice right well well but they're working out there now getting ready for the bowl game right so they're practicing on a daily basis and um you know I'm in very close contact with Coach kitchens and you know Michael and I are here now so we'll start the process and take advantage of all opportunities we get so some of those are in person some of those are in training some of those are on film um and so forth you know some players are injured and those are you know wouldn't be able to be evaluated now but there are other ways to to look at them what they did in the past and try to project what their future is thank you like skip Foreman here right in Roo skip then Jeremiah we skip over to this side coach skip Foreman with the news and record of Greensboro and the Winston Salem journal on my face and some of the other places there are people who are still a little leery of your hiring and concerned about where the program is going and where you're going to take it while you're concerned about football there's always public criticism and where do you what do you want to tell those people I'm here do the best I can for the University of North Carolina and the program that's what I do I'll give the best I have every day just right here Jeremiah y Jeremiah Holloway with inside Carolina Bill uh one thing that you mentioned was you're looking forward to teaching and developing you know a lot of the you know the younger players here at UNC obviously when you were uh in the professional realm you know players you know a little older got families things like that what do you kind of Envision and what excites you about the differences of working with you know kind of those younger 19 20 year olds as compared to you know working with some of the you know older guys like you did in the NFL right well again in the NFL was you know a combination of a lot of things but if you look at the Players we had in the NFL um Tom Brady was a fourth string quarterback as a rookie year he didn't exactly come in as you know uh with any play time at all um you know gronowski he you know didn't do too much his rookie year Julian Edelman um played quarterback in college um then he was a wide receiver then he was a punt returner so uh developing players is you know something that Michael and I believe strongly in and we'll support that with the staff and we'll support that with the program uh there's a lot of opportunity and room for growth um for all players um whether 19 20 or honestly 22 23 now look there's a certain point in their NFL career where um you know they kind of level off and maybe as little you know maintaining that is really where they're at but there's so much growth um in players and and again I just think there's a little more time to do it here at the college level and I'm excited about that opportunity so you know if I've already called on you and asked one I'm not going to come back to you until I've gotten everybody through so you can save your arms um Mitchell or I'm sorry Joey then Mitchell coach Joey Powell inside Carolina I think there's some similarities between today's modern era with players and recruiting as to obviously what you've seen in the NFL what do you see similar about that and the recruiting process versus just all an out andout free agency that you had when you were uh in the league uh well I think there's a number of differences I mean the the free agency and College if you will is is annually uh in the NFL players were generally speaking with a team for four years until they were eligible for four years uh for free agency they could be released before that so you know that would be one difference there's actually more movement in college football um you know there's more structure in the NFL in terms of uh agents salary cap um you know standardized contracts things like that with the nil and the revenue share it's just just structured a little bit differently um so yeah and some I don't say technical things but some uh logistical things like that are different um but you know all manageable and every college team is doing the same thing that we are so except for Army Navy and Air Force but they're uh you know it's that is what it is so um I think to Bubba's Point like trying to to be ahead of the uh ahead of the game ahead of the curve ahead of the process and that's what we're always going to try to do give it to Tommy right or Mitchell I'm sorry Mitchell then Tommy go ahead second row yeah Mitch North I'm North Carolina public radio uh for Chancellor Roberts and Bubba um during this process because of all the changes that everybody has mentioned with college football and the changes to come with the house settlement was it important for yall to pursue someone who has the extensive Pro experience that that coach does well it certainly was a factor in it and uh we looked at a wide variety of people and obviously when it became realistic that he was available and uh it certainly was a path that we really wanted to go down Explorer and we're just really fortunate to be here today and he's willing to say yes and uh to lend his expertise and knowledge to uh to Carolina so very excited about it Tommy second row coach Tommy Ashley with inside Carolina you've been in the game a long time how how much have you seen the game itself change and how much have you sort of changed over the years you've been involved in the game and now you bring it to the college level uh well yeah of course the gamees changed a lot um you know really in every area wherever you want to look whether it's the size of the players the equipment the technology but I mean in the end uh you got you know 120 yards 100 yard field um and comes down to blocking tackling ball security uh fundamental execution I mean all those things are still important regardless of whether you're in uh 12 Personnel or 11 personnel whether you're in nickel or base defense there's still a lot of fundamentals and and that's really the basics and uh and players like Julius and and uh LT and you know guys like that that are good fundamental players and great player great athletes as well when you put all that together that's where you get the Excellence and uh it's not just about athletic Talent it is about athletic talent but it's also about you know fundamentals execution and technique third row rod rod Bley fa Observer bill you talked a lot about your dad's influence on you and and watching him at at Navy and breaking down film with him what are some of those lessons you still carry with you and and what do you remember from those experiences that you keep going back to well what I remember from being with my dad was when we would go Scout a game uh you had one look at every play that's it there was no replay board there was no TVs in the Press Box there was you had one look at it and he had his pad and and he had his you know the what he worked off of and didn't matter what it was a kickoff return that he was diagramming a blitz that he was diagramming or a running play or a pass play um um he had to get the whole play and you had one look and that's it and you you better hope the guy in front of you didn't stand up there in the play um but he taught me how to watch football how to watch the the key things how he learned how he trained his eyes to go from one part of the play to another part of the play based on what the initial read was uh as a scout and um so those things were very valuable you know now there's more technology on the sideline you honestly don't have to do it as well but that's how I learned and that's what a coach does on in practice and you you know you basically get one look at the play You're out there in practice and uh you want to see as much as you can and then make the corrections and identify whatever needs to be adjusted or or corrected on the play uh to the best of your ability and um that's always been very helpful to me is to be able to you know see U what multiple people are doing at the same time and and try to identify what you know what to be what to correct the player on or what coaching point to give them to help them do it better and so that's my job is to help the players and all those lessons were very helpful to me um and I'd say in addition to that the big thing for him was you know make sure you get the big things right I mean every detail is important of course but um spend too much time on the details and missed the big picture blocking tackling ball security uh penalties Etc important things like that then um the time it's spent on some little detail really doesn't pay off as much when you when you're not doing the big things right make sure you get those right first folks I'm going to swing over to this side one note chancellor has to step out at 2:40 uh to get to to another meeting we'll continue on a little bit after that but if You' got something for the chancellor kind of let me know that uh right here at the front left Brett freedlander and then TVD in the second row Brett friedlander Saturday down south coach how Hands-On do you plan to be in recruiting and how much do you you plan on delegating to your staff in that respect and also do you have a long-term plan as to how long you want to or will feel like doing this I mean I feel like doing it a long time so um I'm good to go uh well look I think the recruiting process belongs to everyone it belongs to uh Michael and his scouting staff and evaluations and and setting that up the recruiting department in terms of um you know making this an attractive uh visitor or destination for the uh athlete um but it's also part of the coaching job and certainly the head coach has a big uh role in that as well to ensure the the athletes the student athletes that um you're giving them what they want and there's not always a fit there sometimes times that doesn't quite match up but uh this this university has so much to offer and and and our football program has a lot to offer that I think that we'll be able to attract um you know a good quality player Michael Ross Then Caroline Michael per wtvd coach what have you learned during your year away from the sidelines or even being around the Washington program in terms of different schemes or or running in college football uh program in terms of some of the intricacies when it comes to recruiting or nil or the day and day operations um yeah well first of all um Lear it's a lot of fun being in the media that's not bad um spent a lot of time in as you said around the Washington program coach fish was um uh you know I was I was out there in the spring training camp during the regular season and um you know I saw a lot of of what what they did uh and I think you know Kos fish runs a a pro program if you will modeled after Pro program and I think it's very similar to what um you know my thoughts will be on that what Michael and I have talked about so and Michael worked with them out there as well too so um yeah I think that's definitely a you know uh let's call it a template but you know every every Situation's different you know it wouldn't be that exactly but yeah and but being away from it has given me an opportunity to look you know I never really watched college football much during the college season I watched it very much in the spring looking at draft prospects and so forth so uh this year I had a much better chance to follow the college game go to college games see the college experience on campus uh which I did uh that several times it was awesome go to several high school games um which other than watch my kids play it wasn't also wasn't something that I I had much of an opportunity to do uh so I think I have a better overall uh perspective of of just the game of football and certainly the fan interest in football uh I think sometimes when you're just locked in a coaching your team you're you're not as aware of what the um external um excite excitement and and energy and feelings are um and and now that that became much more evident to me and you know I think it's all it's great it's you know most popular sport uh by far and I can see why everybody's into the world just you know a lot of it not all of it a lot of it just revolves around football folks I've got six more written down so don't raise your hand at this point we'll see how we get through um Ross Then Caroline Andrea and Chris in the back go ahead Ross Ross Martin CBS Sports 24/7 Sports and the big hitters only podcast uh did you talk to coach Nick Sabin and if so what questions did you have for him what advice did you seek from him and what kind of stuff did he tell you to get prepared for the college game yeah um you know coach sa and I have a a long friendship and relationship uh I have all the respect in the world love coach Sab um in all honesty I would just keep our conversations private uh think you know really that that's those are to be shared publicly I appreciate the question and but there's nobody I respect more than coach Sav um and he's he's been a great friend uh for I don't know 40 years right and fny on the ale coach Caroline Caroline Wills from the daily Trill first for Bill you mentioned wanting UNC football to become a pro-like program what are the first two steps of that what are the points of emphasis for that and then for Bubba what was your first reaction when you heard that bill was a candidate coach uh well yes in terms of when I say a pro program I would say you know through my experience what we um did in terms of training developing players uh running Pro systems Pro techniques um so when the players leave here they're not this isn't um going from the wishbone to a pro offense that it would be you know similar terminologies similar techniques and fundamental similar training similar uh preparation techniques that uh have been very successful for me through the years that I know that other NFL teams are using whether other college teams are using them or not I mean some are some aren't but I just know that these will prepare the players um you know for that so um I'm not and then from the the general manager head coach model again it's a similar type of situation we're evaluating high school kids and College transfer portal players NFL teams are evaluating college players and NFL free agent players so again there are some similarities that's all I'm not saying it's identical in the back left Andrea then Chris uh Andrea adelon with espn.com you mentioned that it had been a dream of yours to coach in college the first part of the question is when during this last year did you start thinking yes I definitely want to coach college and then and the second part is Carolina hasn't won an ACC title since 1980 what during your conversations with the folks here gave you the hope optimism belief that you could get this program to winning championships again well the the sport from uh the chancellor Bubba Board of Trustees uh the alumni I me all the people I've talked to there's tremendous support here um you know I believe we're going to run a good program and and have a good team so U we'll see where all that goes um yeah look uh I was we drafted LT in 1981 after the 1980 season and we talked about um all the success that they had especially you know defensively with you know buddy Curry and Donell Thompson I mean all those guys Paul Davis I'm all those guys on the on the team and they I mean those are those are great teams so um ton of respect for what uh you know what's been done here at Carolina and certainly that 1980 team gave up 120 points on defense I mean it's pretty good and half of them were at Oklahoma so other than that they I mean really good um but yeah you know well I'm I'm not making any predictions I'm just saying I'm going to come in here and do the best I can with a with a great School uh we're going to have a great program we'll see what those results take us in the very back and then Chris uh coach Kevin connley with Fox8 in Greensboro North Carolina do you envision yourself going into living rooms of high school perspective high school players and kids that you are recruiting or will you leave that to other people yeah no I mean I I would love to do that there are only so many opportunities for uh a College Edge coach to do that based on a compliance rules so uh when those opportunities are there and if that um it was in fact the best thing to to do in that process I'm absolutely in on it I think the majority of the head coaching recruiting will be done on campus um but look those rules might change and so forth so whatever helps our team that's what I want to do all right Chris hi coach Chris Lee from WL right here um I wanted to uh expound on the recruiting question as well are you looking to possibly win the state of North Carolina as far as the best recruits from the state surrounding states like Virginia and South Carolina or you looking to cast more of a wide net and are there certain uh I guess uh characteristics that you're looking for in recruits specifically yeah uh great question uh both absolutely uh we want to recruit well in state and and in this area uh which is where is a lot of good football players um in not only North Carolina but um you know the surrounding states but North Carolina's a National University I mean this is you know this the best public university in the country um any kid that wants a good education being a good football program being a great campus being a you know playing a great environment um we'll recruit any kid to come here I mean I've been on just about every campus in major campus in the country um there's not many nicer in North Carolina can't get a better education than you can at this school so there's a lot going for it I think they can recruit nationally um you know good look there's certain kids that don't want to leave their region I mean I get that but I think we'll be able to recruit nationally we'll certainly try to last three questions are Luke David teal and Trayvon on the end on the right side coach yeah Luke deck from The Ring news and observer just curious there were reports that you had prepared a document or organizational Bible are those were those accurate uh I reserve a followup if the ansers yeah I mean don't believe everything you read in the papers all right I I have no idea where that came from I don't have a 400 page document I mean and the think I would just go handed I mean come on really and terms of your thinking for what you did want to do with the job at what point did you start thinking your head if I had a college program to run this is what I would do because you obviously spent so many years in the NFL uh uh world of thinking how I would run an NFL team or organization if I read at a different one than the Patriots at what point did College start really becoming a focus of your thinking you know I mean that's a great question here's what I would say college kind of came to me this year um I didn't necessarily go and seek it out but I had um many coaches I mean we're probably a couple of dozen coaches talk to me and say hey can we can and sit down and talk to you about these things the let's call it salary cap of pro football relative to college football the um headsets the Green Dot the 2-minute warning the um the tablets on the sideline those were all rules changes this year in college football that were either the same or similar to what we had in the NFL and and these coaches said hey coach can we just talk to you about how you did this how you did that what you know how did you use this what you know what how did you handle the you know talk about the two-minute you know how did that what what that warning how did that affect your strategy at the end of the half the end of the game how did you look at it you know how did you break it down um and so as those conversations started and then the Personnel conversations started relative to um salary cap and and how you spend whatever the allotment of money you have is uh whether that's by player by position U by you know uh freshmen recruits transfer how did you look at that and so um I had multiple conversations uh with several coaches in this conference within the Big 10 and the Southeast Conference uh um and others so uh and sometimes there were coaches who were on the staff that were responsible for uh let call situational football uh for kind of organizing that or uh in some cases a person in the organization that was maybe in football but now being moved over to the let's call it semien manager type role uh that wasn't familiar with that aspect of what was now invading college football right with the you know the revenue share in the nil so uh I'd say that started to make me a lot more aware of it because the first thing I had to do is learn about it and say okay well what are you dealing with here and then they would kind of explain all right well here's our situation then you hear another coach at another school explain it sort of the same way but it was different at his school for whatever reason it was and so forth on and on and on so um in the end um long answer to a short question here sorry uh you know how I like to Ramble On In press conferences right um but yeah you just you know as you learn different things about different programs and you start to put it all together then there's some com common threads and then there are some there's some variables last two questions are David teal and then Tron on the right hand side coach David teal with the Virginia pilot and Daily Press in norfol Bubba in this era of Revenue sharing player compensation and the house settlement is it possible to be all in on football and men's basketball institutionally financially yeah great question David and uh I think so and I think it's uh why we're trying to do what we're doing I think if you go all in on those two sports those two sports provide all of the finances for the rest of the department the more successful we are in football and the more successful we are in basketball the more opportunities we're going to be able to provide for for everyone else here so I'm delighted with it and I think uh our future is incredibly bright given his leadership and that of Hubert Davis our women's basketball program is starting Revenue share this year with the NCAA tournament and Courtney he's done a fantastic job so I think the continued investment is an investment in the future of Carolina Athletics did you have I goofed I forgot Nia I said yes to her a while ago Nia go ahead hi coach I wanted to ask what challenges you anticipate um having in the future from transitioning from the NFL to college sports particularly in coaching players relating with them influencing them whether they're in the portal or just recruits who think about coming to Carolina um well I mean we'll see um you know I've had an opportunity to coach young players at various points in my career whether it was you know kids on uh other players on my kids teams or uh again had an opportunity to work some in in uh at the University of Washington be around that team for uh multiple weeks out there so um but again it's it's it's a process and I would say as a teacher you try to find ways to help the students help the players and if you can do that then they have a tendency to to listen and and want more if they're motivated which most of them are um and if you can't then you know then they look somewhere else so um I know I can help individual players I know I can help our team be successful and I do all I can to to give my best effort to do that on a daily basis you can count on that last question second round on the end Trevon trayon mil abc1 coach you uh your ties to this University are well documented uh you brought dad's hoodie um there's a picture of you in Keenan Stadium as a youngster floating around here uh you mentioned that college came to you how important was it that it was this University um and your ties to it whether it be in the past or your father's size um as opposed to a traditional Powerhouse football program it was most important it was most important all the things that the University North Carolina stands for U the academics the the cultural the research the you know just the whole um everything it stands for both athletically which has been tremendously successful in uh all sports um you know I I spent um you know quite a bit of time with Coach petalo with Coach pry in the lacrosse program um and and many of their players as well spoken with them so it's been um really kind of a connection to this school but everything that it stands for um on the field off the field um and and really the destination that Carolina is for uh really so many student athletes there there's so much opportunity here um you know I'm honored to have an opportunity and and thrilled to be a part of it appreciate it coach pich thank you very much uh that concludes our press conference thanks everybody great questions appreciate
