UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

[stankeylegjones]

by moving the goalposts from "it didn't happen" to "it maybe happened but isn't a big deal," you're engaging in bad faith.

Please elaborate on your post.

Along with a couple others, William Boone, starting OT in first couple games of the year, prior to injury has left the team.

Something I hate about this ranking is that it puts no value on someone being winter vs spring. I think OL particularly are less helpful if they don't arrive til summer. I looked at teams who were starting OL transfers (and many are) and the vast majority were winter portal.

Part of the difference between the winter portal transfers and the post-spring practice portal transfers is that a great many of the post-spring transfers weren’t starting at their previous school (might not even be in the 2-deep).

Not entirely. The culture of softness on the field that we've seen since Withers left won't change simply via getting wins.
2009 seemed tough, but they only won 8 games in 2008, 4 in 2007. So what made them tough?
We won 11 games with Marquise and I don't think that made Fed's trenches any less soft the next yr.
2022 we won the Coastal and 9 total games via Drake Maybe, but the next yr we still weren't a hard-nosed team.

when i say win i mean beat good teams which we havent done in a long time. we've been feasting on cupcakes for many years which adds to the softness, but appeases the idiot unc fan. stop blowing tens of millions on coaches and buy the best players. people act as if coaching football takes more than half a brain. its still a simple line of scrimmage game mano y mano no matter how many analytics etc that nerds try to use. i dont expect our fanbase or admin to be smart enough to try something different even though what we have been doing does not and will not work at unc.

But to beat good teams we need to rid the culture of softness. Yes, that shouldn't require a 10 mil coach, but if it works then it is worth it.

do you not understand that we havent had a team in a very long time that could dominate the line of scrimmage? pay big money for the offensive and defensive linemen...not just one or two im talking 2 deep at every line position. the $20 mil we are wasting for staff would buy a lot of quality ol and dl. the los is where the toughness and winning begins everything else will fall into place. again i dont expect our fans or admin to have the foresight or smarts to grasp this simple concept of a simple game. the elite college teams have elite players therefore 'elite' coaches by default.
