Yeah exactly what you said; I just can’t see an agent negotiating a deal that’s so heavily dependent on incentives. I know some coaches get decent bonuses based on certain benchmarks like number of wins, bowl appearances, playoff appearances, playoff wins, etc. (Mark Stoops at Kentucky comes to...

Here is the ranked list of FBS head coach salaries. I know you’re just spitballing but those numbers would still put us very much on the low end. Frankly I don’t think it’s realistic to put together a salary structure that’s so heavily contingent on wins like that anyway. We probably don’t...

Believe it or not there is a middle ground between paying $10 million for a coach and going in the complete opposite direction by giving a D2 coach the lowest salary in all of FBS. Good lord guys.

You can’t do this to yourself man lol. Belichick might suck at coaching now but he still knows how to put on a masterclass word salad press conference.

Because coaching does still matter and we’re already one of the bottom two power conference programs in the country right. It literally couldn’t be worse. Also, no young stud coaches worth their salt are going to come here to work as assistants next season under a lame duck head coach that has...

Bud helps inform a lot of my CFB takes lol. He thinks highly of what UNC football could look like if we made a serious coaching hire, but he’s been about as exasperated as a lot of our fans with how we dragged our feet moving on from Mack and then whatever it is we’re doing with Belichick.

He’s a really good coach that I would trust to do well at a place like UNC, I just can’t get past the sexual assault cover up attempt fiasco that got him in hot water at Vandy. That incident + generally seemingly like a difficult person to work for or with would make it hard for me to root for...

Beyond that, even the best HS recruits usually need a season or two developing their bodies and learning the college game before they turn into significant contributors (obviously there are some exceptions). Expecting a bunch of raw 18 and 19 year old players to step in and immediately make the...

I’d need to see a little bit more in the next month before getting my hopes up about a potential playoff push, but for now I’m just happy to see a team that looks like they are well coached and gelling despite some obvious personnel limitations.

Imagine getting an email like that from the guy you’re paying orders of magnitude more money than the GMs from the best programs in the country lol. Then again these are the boosters that were dumb enough to fall for Lombardi’s nonsensical plan in the first place so maybe they ate up this...

I ask this seriously, not trying to be snarky: roughly how much more abysmal play on the field and drama off the field would you need to see before you’d reach that point? I usually think that coaches deserve some benefit of the doubt at least into their second season, but this situation has...

We are very fortunate that the G5 opponent on our schedule this season was one of the few teams in FBS worse than we are, and that our FCS opponent wasn’t a legit top 25ish team at that level. Either of those could have easily been a loss if we had played a JMU or Austin-Peay type of team in...

I still have one UNC friend that follows the team somewhat closely that won’t give in lol. He wants at least 2 or 3 full seasons no matter how bad it gets. Everyone else is just as fed up as people on the message boards. Well either that or just completely checked out, which is a feeling any...

Given the state of the program post Mack, i would have been fine with a rebuild season or two if we had a coach that could squeeze at least something out of a rag tag roster early, and also had experience recruiting and building rosters at the college level. The product Belichick is putting on...

If you guys are going to get bent out of shape about WRAL and nit pick the details, they are not the ones that reported that we were in talks with Belichick to buy him out yesterday. They simply reported what 247 was reporting first, which I think is totally fair.
