How successful would Bill Belichick be at a big time CFB program?

Let's say he decided he wanted to try the college game and got hired at a LSU or Texas or USC. Do you think he would create a dynasty on par with Saban or would he struggle to adapt to college football and all that comes with it

He would need good recruiters on staff

Belichick will look great in burnt orange. He's been spotted checking out houses at Lake Travis.

His system might be too much for college kids. Also, not sure how much he would enjoy recruiting.

He wouldn't be kissing arse to high school kids but he would be smart enough to get somebody else to do it for him.

i would love to see how he handles the prima donna 17 year olds.

We will find out when LSU hires him

A lot of people compare Saban and Belichick but they're two very different coaches. Do you know that the last time the Patriots finished the season ranked higher in total defense than total offense was 2006? And the last season they finished the season ranked higher in scoring defense than scoring offense was 2009. Plus I can't imagine a Saban coached team ever throwing the ball 56 times and running it 14 times in a close game like Belichick did against the Broncos last year.

Ehh he's kind of sloppy in regards to his cheating and he wouldn't have Kraft to save him in college.

I think that he would be dominant assuming that he could get some top tier recruiting coaches on staff. I think he is old enough now that he doesn't want to screw around with kids.
But he could definitely gameplan to destroy anyone in CFB if he had talent.

For shits and giggles, imagine Popovich dealing with the drama in college basketball recruiting.

Belichick would dominate. He, more than any other coach in the history of the NFL, is able to take pieces and make it a functioning football team.

About as successful as Bill Walsh - not very successful.
Both cerebral coaches wrapped too much into the nuisance of the game. CFB is a relationship game...kids and mentors. You have to be able to relate.
Hell, by Belichick's standards...Bill Walsh would probably now be seen as hip and relatable.

He'd land his team on probation within three years.

Bill Walsh when he retired was the greatest coach ever.
His first year at Stanford, the Cardinal went 10-3.
Then he had to bring in his own recruits...
They went 4-7 and 3-7-1 over the next two years with Walsh recruits.
There's no way in hell Belichick is having sleep-overs and tweeting prospects and calling them non-stop...and holding camps and doing in-home visits to the degree the best coaches do to get the players.
You can't just be..."look at my Super Bowl rings bitch!" Like Charlie Weis tried to be.
Oh, he was going to be so much smarter than everyone else...because of the Belichick tree.
College football isn't about schematic advantages or being smarter. It's emotion, young kids and recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. It's not game plans and micro-managing like the NFL where everybody pretty much as similar talent.
Bill Walsh found that out the hard way.

I couldn't imagine him being a good recruiter.
Posted on 10/5/16 at 2:34 pm to LProp1
Not everybody can recruit so he might not be all that good in the college game.
Posted on 10/5/16 at 2:51 pm to LProp1
I dunno, Saban's even more of a tightass and he can recruit. I don't think BB would have issues there.
He gets grown men to buy in. That's much tougher than impressionable 17-18 year olds.
