After Belichick and Manning Hype comes a heavy dose of reality

Faculty football from 2025. year of detachment was dominated by a few names outside the recent NFL celebration.

Manning. Belichick.

The combination of coaches Billa Beličicka and the square Peiton and Eli Manning won 10 out of 18 super bowls from 2001-2019, often passing on each other to arrive there.

Now Belichick, 73, he was trying to invent as a coach of the faculty in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Arch Manning – the 21-year-old nephew Eli and Peiton – was taken over on Texas as the next generation of family business, entering the entry.

The hype was breathless. Expectations were considerable.

Then the reality was affected during the weekend at work, leaving false media and pre-season predictions to engage in incomplescence, intercepts and avalanches of public scorn.

On Saturday, Manning and his Longhorns ran into the wall of brick in Ohio State Defense (Led by Belichick Protege, defensive coordinator Matt Patricia). Buckeyes won 14-7, and Manning passed only 17-30 passages, often looked confused and insecure in the field – although it was still smoothly and polished in television ads during the game.

Monday night it was Red Belichick; His heels were humble to him at home 48-14. What started as electrically, stared (even Michael Jordan there) The event was completed with empty storms and accelerated grandchildren.

Nor attempted to avoid responsibility.

“It’s not good enough …” “Manning said after losing.” It’s starting with me. I have to play better win. “

“They were especially poured, they were better than we were tonight,” Belichick said.

Both men were correct. Was not good enough. More precisely, it was not even close to what kind of attention was proposed.

Manning wasn’t awesome, but he certainly didn’t look like a favorite betting to win a hemisman trophy and became this choice in the next spring NFL draft. It was just another college box with a tonnie tone.

Meanwhile, Belichick was not a magician who could only wave the wand and make caroline in overnight Juggernaut. Anyone who expected it to be a fool; Coaching things, but not as much as talent. Despite bringing 70 new players, UNC still has enough. No one, for example, called that beard.

It doesn’t say the performance. Belichick succeeded the middle program from Mack Brown, but not one who ever looked so bad. This was humiliation.

So, now comes hard work for old coach and young quarter, separating generations, but somehow in similar positions. They are in the weekend of social media on Sunday in the main issues about whether there are more than products of their abundant names.

Fair? Of course not, especially for the bow. His grandfather and uncles were NFL stars, not him. This is his first season as a full-time starter. He always spoke the right things, the patient in two seasons and in the most part she tried to just mix in the team despite the glory of the family.

It was said, those advertisements for Varby Parker and Wuori Airing as she fought on the field, everything, but secured a return from fans who always want to scream due to nepotism.

The good news is the upcoming schedule Longhorn – home game against the state of San Jose, a utep and Houston himself followed outside the week. SEC PLAY NOT RAMP TO OCTOBRA.

Manning showed flashes of potential against the dominant, talented and smart state defense of Ohio – probably the best to face all season. Give him some time to settle while lying down low, and the opener can be overcome.

“Growth in the whole game for the arch is really encouraging,” Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian said. “We’ll be fine. For the bow, the expectations were out of control from the outside. I’d say we finish the book before we judge it. It’s one chapter.”

For Belichick, changing the story can be more challenging.

The TCU is a great program that plays with an experienced quartbac (Josh Hoover) and a shoulder chip, the frog’s horns have won nine games last season, and after all.

Pete won’t always look so bad – they are favorites against Charlotte this weekend, then host Richmond before traveling to restore UCF. September can be saved.

Still, Karolina has not shown a lot of talent. The transfer portal allows teams to restart the list quickly, but it is not easy. When trying to prove that the high investment in the program is in the program – and weather attention to your young girl – it was worthwhile, shooting at the opening night is not ideal.

This will be the process – multiple. Belichick promised to be in Chapel Hill for a long time, which is actually more likely. The suspension is not any NFL owner set on Monday and thought to hire him.

Can they still train them to the wind vessel or more? Of course. It is a more realistic goal for UNC.

Does Arch Manning show that this season is good Quarterback on the title monitoring team? Of course. It should be a goal for him.

It’s the only way to forget a long weekend on which off-season hype met in the real world.

“We have a lot of work,” Belichick said. “We’ll get on it.”

There is no other option now.
