Coach Prime does something right.

Turned the program completely around in 2 seasons.

Has the likely Heisman winner.

No opting out from his star players in a meaningless bowl games.

Give the man his due.

He's done very well in Year 2.

I'm more interested to see where everything stands for Colorado in another 3 years or so.

Don't know much about him. Not sure they could do much better IMO. I don't think it's a home run hire but it's probably a double!
At schools like ASU home run hires usually only last a couple years and they move on.
 
Don't know much about him but enough to know they couldn't have done better? I think he's a great hire. Good O schemes and will improve execution. What matters at App is culture so he has to be very attuned to that. In my opinion, a great hire.

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.

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 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.

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.
