Genuinely think this would be an abysmal hire.

I will be extremely skeptical as well, but at this point UNC has backed itself into a corner and basically has to make it work.

Reading between the lines, they put all their eggs in the Belichick basket and didn’t make a serious push at some of the other more “traditional” candidates like Jon Sumrall. Now the window feels like it’s shut for those type of hires, and if they miss on Belichick they’re looking at Steve Wilks or maybe Freddie Kitchens. If it’s Belichick or those two as the options, I would much, much prefer to at least give it a swing with Belichick’s plan. If it’s gotten this far and falls through, the blowback from our fans is going to be a sight to behold lol.

I tend to agree but at this point, what’s the harm? This program is and has been in purgatory.

Could it be worse than BB on the sidelines?

I haven’t followed the process well enough to know the other options, if any. If I were a UNC fan, I’d genuinely prefer the likes of Jeff Monken, Ryan Silverfield, or the IU OC, Mike Shanahan. Again, don’t know how realistic those were/are.

If BB falls thru, hire Jeff Saturday as the GM - for fundraising, and "recruiting" (which is really just offering NIL amounts these days). Then find the best X&O staff you can find without worrying about his personality or experience with running a full program. There are ton of college OC/DC who are masterful schemers who also know how to approach and prep college students for a whole season. A Kane Wommack would probably be fine, but you could probably go even cheaper and get good on-field, gameday planners and teachers.

I preferred Sumrall or one of the up and coming coordinators like Kane Wommack or Glenn Schumann. I’m not someone that’s going to proclaim that UNC is a sleeping giant that could have its pick of the litter of coaches, but this was a unique coaching cycle where we were arguably the best position open. I think at least a few of those names would have jumped at the job if UNC had seriously pursued them.

That's certainly a valid opinion. I'm on the fence myself, but most any hire we could have made beyond Matt Campbell, who I don't think was interested, are crap shoots on some level. As long as we don't hire someone obviously unqualified (ie Bunting), then I'll support whoever it is.
 
We will likely have 1 QB on the roster for the Gator Bowl.

I dont care they are leaving, but the transfer portal and NIL have turned this into a damn zoo

They need to have contracts like the pros if they are getting money. The jumping from tram to team every year is ridiculous. I don't mind them getting NIL money but there needs to be some guardrails for the schools.

Unless they become employees and there can be collective bargaining I don’t think it can’t happen, legally.
 
Has anyone else followed what is happened to Washington State?

They've lost the following coaches since the end of the season...

HC - Wake Forest (who was the last of the coaches to leave, not the first)
DC - fired
OC - Oklahoma
QB Coach - Oklahoma
RB Coach - Utah

11 starters in the portal, including their QB (a top portal player) who is assumed to go to Oklahoma

They are a bit unique in that a lot of their issues stem from the collapse of the PAC-12, as Oregon State had a terrible off-season after last year.

But they are at the point of having to essentially rebuild the entire program from this year.
