UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

[gregh1]

Syracuse and Stanford should have looked like last year's FSU and UVA games. all four teams were horrifically bad in the trenches, all but FSU were playing at a serious talent deficit, and all but UVA had pretty much given up on the season. instead, Bill couldn't muster a halftime lead against either, including actually losing at half to a freshman lacrosse player, and gave Stanford its smallest margin of loss against competition not named Hawai'i or San Jose State.

i genuinely can't believe i'm spending this much energy defending Mack Brown but it's just unbelievable how thick the Bill Blinders are.

If it was in Nov Mack would've blown it. Bill has been horrible, but to think Mack would've won 6 games with this roster is ridiculous. Brown never learned to rotate players, the few young players we have would be a bloody pulp by mid-season.

It's quite possible that both coaches are over the hill and both suck and should have stayed retired, although Mack did get off to a decent start, but should have retired after 2 or 3 seasons at UNC and handed the helm off to a younger successor. The real lesson from all this is maybe UNC shouldn't be blowing very large sums of money on elderly over-the-hill coaches who were great in their prime but have long since lost their touch and should have been put out to pasture to enjoy their retirement years ago.

Pretty positive update by Chad Simmons regarding the Baker RB now committed to Florida. 4'star. He still likes SC but says UNC has turned it up with NIL dollars. Still saying Cleveland to UNC. Be really nice to pull two 4'stars from SEc programs on signing day.

outside of a brief time period when he was on the Bengals, never lived or coached east of Utah. He is not a good fit for Penn state and wouldn’t be a good fit for us either

You probably know better than me. I've just been impressed with his teams (the way the play, etc.) for a while now. (I get to see several of their games, living here on the west coast.)

O he’s a good coach, probably a great coach, obviously he’s done well at BYU…just would be a weird cultural fit and I don’t like taking coaches out of their geographic and cultural area. Rarely works imo. Going to hurt Chesney too
