Colin Calhurt on Fox Sports, but to his point, Wiggy, you got cut by Belichick. Yeah. But you took it. It's the NFL way. But college is so, he is right about that. College is so different world. Because you can't just like if a guy is not really performing the way you want them to perform, you can't or is not buying into your message or your culture, you just can't cut them. Yeah. You know, certain guys you can't or is not buying into your message or your culture you just can't cut them you know certain guys

you can get away with that in the NFL you know it's harder to do it for guys making a lot more

money but in college you know even if the guy's not making a you know ton it's hard you just can't

cut guys so all the belichick drama is just fascinating. We're just waking up this morning.

The press release last night. Curtis, do you have the wording of this? Oh, I do. The Bubba Cuttingham dueling release with Bill Belichick last night? I feel like we should have somebody at the station called Bubba. It would just make us a little bit more... Southern? Yeah. This was after the Ollie Connolly and all the reporting yesterday at 930.

Statement, I'm fully committed to UNC football and the program we're building here from Bill Belichick.

And then the university with a very long, expansive coach Belichick has the full support of the Department of Athletics and University. That has nothing to do with future. If they fired him tomorrow, nothing would be wrong in that statement. It is something, though. It's a stay of execution. Cord, do you believe he's not done yet? I just think that there was no reason that UNC needed to release this statement, especially if Bill was going to. Like, if Bill releases that statement yesterday, great. Right. That wouldn't change. I would be on Curtis's side there where he's gone. Like UNC could still part ways. That's nice that he's saying he's still fully committed to the university. But what does that mean? For UNC, for the, for the university to send out a statement, I don't think they needed to do that.

And I think it sets them up for failure. Yeah, because you can't, like, you can't fire him now or you can't pot ways now during the season. It could be something after the season where you can sit down and go, all right, it then go as well as we thought it was going to go. Now we're going to go our separate ways. Shy, what do you think about this? Is he done?

Yeah, I think he's, I think he'll finish the season at U.S. Otto is going to go now. We're going to go our separate ways. Shai, what do you think about this? Is he done?

Yeah, I think he's... I think he'll finish the season at UNC and then he will be done. So he finishes the year. Yeah, yeah. That's big. I don't think he will, like, be gone halfway through the year. Not even halfway through the year. We're in what? Four games in? Five games. So if he only wins two games, then you could make the argument.

So he doesn't win games. Then you could make

the argument that... So he doesn't win another game the rest of the season? Yeah, I guess... He'll beat Syracuse. Because if he wins... Who do I root for it there? They gotta be Duke. Beat Duke's all he cares about. He might not win another game the rest of the season. Because if you win... Did Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft issue a joint statement saying how much they liked each other?

Yeah, but it was after, there were parting ways. It was a mutual. season. Because if you win... Did Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft issue a joint statement saying how much they liked each other?

Yeah, but it was after they were parting ways. It was a mutual, what did they call it, a mutual separation? Yeah, I can't remember what it was. Mutual uncoupling? Yeah. If you finish the season with five wins and you rip off like your last two games or wins, maybe that changes things up and where you're like all right you know because a lot of guys in their first year they struggle especially in college like you know

it happens all the time and you see guys turn the program around after yeah some guys have success

their first year um and continue their success but a lot of guys struggle their first year and then

this isn't about struggling wiggie you would agree it has been historically dysfunctional. Yeah, the dysfunction has been like some of the stuff that's coming out, whether it's true or not, is a bad look. If it was just wins and losses, there wouldn't be an issue here. No, totally. But one fight is not dysfunction. If that's all it is.

And the NCAA.

But it's not just a fight, Ken. Like it's a fight. It's a recruiting violation. Yeah, but see, the recruiting violations, you buy somebody a coffee from a Dunkin' Donuts is a recruiting violation. I understand. But it feels like Urban Meyer in the NFL. It just feels like there is so much crap going on that we haven't even heard about yet.

At the end of the season, we're going to find out all the just unbelievable stuff that's happening behind the scenes, and it is going to be just an absolute disaster. Well, one point on that, Urban Meyer's a good comp. Wiggy and I were talking to the break, and I said, this reminds me of the Urban Meyer thing, and Wigke's like, I forgot about that.

Yeah, there's one guy who got fired their first year.

Okay, so Wiggy forgot about Urban Meyer already.
