The Bill Simmons Podcast
An NBA Six-Pack, Belichick to UNC, and Million-Dollar Picks

And one of the reasons was because all of a sudden, what felt like half the league was looking for the type of player that only he was looking for before. And so all of a sudden, there was a premium on those types of players. Now... Who knows exactly? I mean, it would be interesting to see if the Chargers, if the Ravens, if... Oh, teams that he has connections with?

Yes, teams that he would have connections with. The Giants, Denver. If those types of teams end up really looking hard at North Carolina players and wanting them because they'll have a better sense that they're mentally equipped to handle the rigors of the NFL, name another coach who can get you ready for it. I think that Jim Harbaugh at Michigan could probably do it pretty well.

But name another coach who you can say, I will prepare you for what life is like in this league. And it's, you know, as we all know, that goes way beyond schematics in doing your job. It is a complete lifestyle change. Everyone talks about it, how different it is when football ceases to be, you know, your quote unquote job and becomes your real job. And... I think that he'll enjoy doing that.

Like years ago, years ago, it was in 2006. It was around the time the Halberd standpoint came out. Bill wouldn't promote it during the year, but in the off season, he did a couple events and he did one at Southern Connecticut. And I, um, he'd received like a distinguished speaker award and I went to it and And I was really curious on how it was going to go.

And he was so at ease in that audience in front of those young minds. And he wasn't talking about football. He showed some clips. He kind of went to the film in kind of a funny way. But he wasn't like... talking about football and using these kind of flat metaphors for how it prepares you for life and this type of thing.

He was actually addressing these kids in terms of their passion and what they want to do and how best to do it. And he was just on fire and he was inspiring. And I do think that that's probably a muscle that he hasn't had a chance to flex as much in the NFL. And I think that he'll really look forward to doing that because he'll know that the vast majority of even his players won't play in the pros.

But I think that he'll enjoy... preparing these people for life beyond football, which, to be honest, even though we know that he can do that, it is surprising for Belichick because he's someone whose self-worth almost seems tied to the results of games.
