Bo-siding is a cancer eating away at our society. Even in non-political contexts. Precisely because it's just not how the real world works. most of the time it's at least 80/20 and more often closer to 98/02 in terms of who's to blame.

We all have favored viewpoints and cognitive biases, that's inescapable. But when you've been trained to inflate your pet cognitive bias to be take up 50% of the oxygen in the conversation, even though it's only contributing >5% to the problem, then you are poisoning the well of public discourse that we all need to drink from.
 
Wheels are in motion, homie.

Does anyone know who is officially in charge to make and carry out a decision? Even my friend in a UNC high location isnt exactly sure the chain of command any longer. What a disheveled mess we are in.

I'm willing to hear other side of story. I have said repeatedly staff bears lots of blame for on field product. My point is that media taking stories that are one sided and running hard, etc. If you read this thread to he dipshits who hired BB were not always dipshits.

I've read zero articles in the media and talked to the people I trust within the department and in close proximity to it. They all universally share the viewpoint that the project is an absolute failure and will only become more of one moving forward. I've heard BB described as completely unwilling to even hear alternative viewpoints, disconnected from his team (by intent), unconcerned with the weekly product, etc.

This is what happens when you have an extremely politically motivated BOG, BOT, and chancellor. I believe this football disaster is foreshadowing of what is to come with Lee Roberts at the helm. Can’t imagine how much of a disaster the bball move will be

This is my concern. The clusterfuck that is the current football program is simply a symptom of the actual problem. This is political. The usual process of vetting and hiring was hijacked by clueless politicians or functionaries reporting to those politicians, pushing aside people with actual knowledge and expertise. Sound familiar?

I mean - the AD certainly has authority to fire coaches generally. The fact that firing in this case means paying a huge buyout is another thing entirely. So I'm confident that at least Roberts would need to be consulted on the decision, and maybe given the dollars involved the BOT has to sign off, though I candidly haven't read the BOT regulations addressing their authority over athletics since they were modified following the Preyer/Belichick fiasco; it may be that the BOG took away all the trustees' authority over athletics matters.

Andrew Jones on Tar Heels 247 reporting that, per sources inside the program, an injured player had his access to the facilty removed right before fall camp started, and he was told he could come back in a year but had to do rehab on his own, and that he was no longer a part of the program since he could not help the team on the field this fall.

I really hope there's more to the story. What kind of person would do that? Just terrible.

Bill has long been known for treatment of players that some would consider heartless - not just benching a starter but also cutting players with little to no warning, discarding them the second he deems them no longer worth their salary (including because of injury), etc.

The added context here is that the player in question was a Mack holdover, and people have been reporting feeling among players and parents that the holdovers are often being treated worse than the new guys Belichick brought in.

And the AD would not typically be part of these types of personnel management decisions at all.

All right. Again I have to plead that I don't follow football closely. If he's done this shit before, then I guess it is not such a stretch to think he will do it again.
