I do feel the age in that thing because my initial gut reaction was no, we probably haven't because this still seems like a guy that that record does mean enough to get talked about the way it does and only being 14 shy of tying 15 shy of beating. But you're right. I mean, he's walking into college football already is the oldest coach there.

was in the NFL, all of his peers have been forced out or retired. Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Mack Brown at North Carolina. And so, yeah, I just don't see how if he really is here legitimately and not just going to dine and dash after one year, which if he's got the tie in with his son, I don't know how that would work. All these different things that maybe say he'd be here for at least a few years.

Then, yeah, I do think it's increasingly hard to imagine an NFL team hiring Bill Belichick in his mid 70s to come there and try and lead your franchise.

I'm sure he could get it figured out just fine.

That's the funniest part about this, though, is because the attention economy is loving this right now, everyone's going to be like, oh, this is like Dion in Colorado. No, it is not. It is certainly a spectacle in the same way, but you're not going to get Bill Belichick hosting his own talk show on Tuesdays and inside the North Carolina Tar Heels looking the way they had on Amazon Prime.

And just in general, Deion is a showman by nature. That is who he is at his core. Bill Belichick, I mean... Maybe we get the version of Bill that lets his hair down now. He's got the young girlfriend. He's away from the NFL and all these parts tied to his legacy. So maybe he does just relax a little bit.

But more than likely, he's going to be the same guy he's always been, which is not going to grab people by the horns the same way Dion did or piss people off, quite frankly, as much as Dion did on the front end of his time there.

I did wonder, twofold to Billy's point, how much Bill's son and his experience, because Bill was up at Washington a bunch. He was around there. They talked about it. Jed Fish, I think, has Belichick ties somewhere in his past, the head coach now at Washington. But then also what Nick Saban's told him, like Bill and Nick worked together.

They obviously have kind of been in lockstep their whole careers. And Nick Saban left for all the reasons that we're curious why Bill Belichick would go to college for.

Yeah, I would agree in general. And I think your point, the relative standard of this, because that's the thing I've talked about with like Kenny Dillingham and Dan Lanning and a bunch of these young coaches who got their first head coaching jobs during all this change. Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame, they don't know a world as head coaches anymore.
