Because the man is so toxic thay he has single handedly destroyed any hope of building any meaningful societal progress for at least the remainder of all of our natural lives. If you can't see that the pendulum swing from Trump will be 1000x worse than anything you have ever seen for your own...

You have expressed in much greater clarity and detail my own point. The people running Carolina right now are treating UNC fans and donors like they are Bama fans and donors and it is going to over like a turd in a punch bowl. Oh, and the new Smith Center will only exacerbate that.

Yes, all of those fractures are precisely why this hire has done so much damage so quickly. The folks who were reaching a boiling point of frustration with college sports were essentially shoved out the door by "this is the way it is now. Get on board or find somewhere else".

Yeah, I think we will all wish thats where we are. You know the same funds sources that have traditionally funded football also fund basketball and everything else, right? This hire and staff have ruptured the UNC status quo. If it fails, we fail. They sold out the entire athletic department...

No, we will not. The previous sources have been sufficiently alienated that those bridges are largely burned.

That is far from worst case scenario. Worst case is we are left bankrupt and worse off that we began. That is a real possibility. We won't sell enough tickets next year to pay this freight.

Yeah... logic like this is how true disasters are made.

None of these resources last past Belichick. The people who did this are completely transactional and have no real stake or care for long term success. They bought and wanted the show, spectacle, and to exert their power.

Who said we should be ignoring recruiting? We should be recruiting and building a stable of talented kids who want to be in chapel Hill while buying talent to plug holes in the portal. Buying talent that won't play while on our payroll only to be outbid once they are ready is foolish to me.

Correct. Especially if they were choosing the highest bidder to come here in the first place.

I dont think it is counterintuitive. I think it is a flatly wrong approach for this coach at this school in this situation.

Where in NC? I dont follow recruiting. I said local and was responding to the comment about local players. Local is the Triangle. As to the assertion that we are building a pantry, well let's just say that i have a fundamentally different view. In today's world, you might be stocking...

Are they ignoring local players or are local players close enough to realize something. I can tell you this...wearing a UNC anything in the Triangle during football season just kind of makes you the butt of a sad and inevitable joke about Belichick and/or Jordon. There's no positive vibe at...

Methinks pretty much anybody could build a good class at Carolina by paying that kind of money. I dont think that takes a GM at all, much less one to be praised for the feat.

Didn't ask about Jordan. My take on him has always been based on his mother who is a former student of mine and social media friend. Marie indicated a distinct level of unhappiness for most of the season. I don't think that really changed so I don't know what he will do. I know they are...
