So, I read and listened to wildly different perspectives on the question of whether BB can succeed at North Carolina.
On the one hand, Stewart Mandel of The Athletic thinks he will absolutely fail. Other NFL guys have come in with the "NFL way" and met with failure - Charlie Weiss, Herm Edwards others. Mandel is dead certain BB will not translate.

On the other hand, on Domonique Foxworth's podcast, they are convinced he will be great. One rationale is that BB is the all-time great at finding another team's weak link and just pounding it - and there are more weak links in college than in the NFL. They also think because of NIL that his lack of recruiting won't matter - UNC is committing resources for NIL and that will be good enough, he doesn't have to go sit in living rooms.

What do you all think? Will BB make the playoffs as a coach at UNC? I am leaning yes.
