Can he still coach? If yes, then what the fuck does this directly have to do with UNC football?
Because what happens off the field can have a negative effect on the product on the field.
 
That sucks. I came of age in late Dooley, early Crum, when we had Famous Amos and Kelvin Bryant and won 4 straight bowl games -- back when bowl wins mattered. The 1979 Gator Bowl win against Michigan was very fun, especially because that team was about a year away from peaking. The 1980 Blue Bonnet bowl win against Texas was amazing, especially when Lawrence Taylor ran down the Texas WR from 50 yards away. The 81 Gator Bowl in the fog against Lou Holtz and Arkansas was great, although I am still not quite sure if I saw any of the actual game, even after watching it again when I got home on a new fangled device called a VCR. And the 82 Sun (Snow) Bowl win over Texas was pretty great, too, although I almost got hypothermia in the 3rd Q. Went to all of those games. It wouldn't be until the 92-93 Peach Bowl against Miss St. before we finally won another bowl game.

Had no idea that such dominance was not a regular occurrence for UNC football. That was also when UNC basketball had Michael Jordan and UNC lacrosse was dominating the sport. That was a good time to get hooked on UNC athletics.
We must be the same age because late Dooley/early Crum was my entry into UNC football.
 
I wonder how this goes over with the rest of the coaching staff of which a few are his sons. This can’t be easy to navigate, from either side.
 
I bet it was mutually agreed that she would "step away from the public eye" or something to that effect. And it was translated to being "banned from the athletic facilities," which would be effect of such an agreement.
 
I think Jordon has two things going against her, quite independent of her behavior (which I don't know much about):

1. She has a godawful case of RBF -- RBF, of course, being one of the worse physical qualities for a young woman trying to make her way.
2. She compounds #1 with a weird unwillingness to smile. I thought, oh surely she smiles sometimes and the media is just focusing on the ones that make her look bitchy. Well, google her images and there are still few smiling pics. Not even the glamour photo shots.


So she basically always looks like she's scheming or showing off her beauty. And maybe that's why she rubs people the wrong way. People always suspect the May-December romances as being transactional and her personal style seems to reinforce rather than dispel that suspicion.

I don't know much about young ambitious trophy wives, but it seems to me that the most successful of them make sure never to upstage their men. That's the deal, right? The woman gets to live like a queen and will end up with big $$ even after the marriage is done (esp. if there's child support); in public, she's supposed to be an ornament. I was reading about Nicole Shanahan after RFK selected her. She did it right. She fucked half of Silicon Valley until she landed Brin; then she stayed anonymous for a little while and nobody ever heard of her. After the divorce, after she got billions, then she emerged.

Jordon looks impatient, in contrast. That is, she makes it look too obvious. Which would be a shame if that wasn't her motivation at all. I generally think it's a bad idea to judge people based on a couple of news stories and some photos, no matter how cringey they might be. Maybe she is who she appears to be. But if not, she needs to recalibrate her strategies.
 
God almighty, man. 7-5 ain't worth all of this bullshit.
Is it really bullshit, though? Everyone's rubber necking, but it's entirely unclear to me if the car on the side of the road is on fire or the driver just stopped for rest. I mean, we got a legendary football coach. Who cares about his fling? She's made herself visible, which is perhaps not great for some people in the program but it doesn't have to be a source of embarassment.

I wonder if the hand-wringing says more about the UNC fanbase than it does about BB or UNC athletics
