That story also directly disputes WRAL reporting about chaos in the locker room, supporting my man asserting in all this about the Raleigh media.

I'm just going to reply once because we all know you're dug in here.

First, BB being told there are problems is not the same thing as BB acknowledging changes must be made. So no...BB has not acknowledged changes must be made. Lombardi says they haven't had any missteps. This is going to plan I guess.

Also, nothing in Tommy's story directly disputes WRAL reporting

  • Divided locker room - WRAL reported a divided locker room, not chaos in the locker room. Tommy reports "the view inside the building isn’t as exciting as the media firestorm outside of it. The team is practicing, having its regular meetings, preparing for Friday’s game, and trying to move forward and realize improvement." That doesn't dispute that the locker room is divided. His very next bullet point states "Much of last week’s turmoil was rooted in the absence of sufficient communication around the program. The lack of staffing and communication during the critical retention and portal periods as the roster was assembled in the initial weeks was a problem from the outset. That then transitioned into this staff’s far different way of doing business, including the feeling from players that it is solely a business as opposed to the type of coach-player personal relationship and open communication that is the norm in college. Sources close to the program affirm those issues most certainly existed and needed to be improved, despite public statements to the contrary." That reporting directly affirms the WRAL reporting that players feel things are disorganized and there is a lack of shared culture.
  • Preferential treatment - WRAL reported that some players that BB brought in are getting special benefits like sideline passes for parents. An assistant coach is now suspended for that violation. Nothing in Tommy's story disputes this.
  • Coaches don't communicate - WRAL reported "Failure to communicate with players and parents has also furthered the divide." Tommy's reporting directly supports this.
  • BB did not ask for a buyout - WRAL reported that the other reports of BB asking for a buyout or that UNC was looking to fire him were wrong. Nothing in Tommy's reporting disputes that.
Again, I'm not expecting you to agree to any of this. But maybe start a new thread about your protest against WRAL? Its not relevant or accurate to what's happening with this football program.

Do you think so? I honestly have not watched them very much outside for a few series against Duke but I was just going off of how they got waxed by SDSU and then by Duke in the second half.

2 things are likely true
Cal sucks.
Cal is going to boat race us

They have a good freshman QB. Thad dixon is out. I think i could get open against the remaining member of the secondary. I fear its ugly, unless we can have a couple of those 9 minute field goal drives

If one of the freshmen QBs gets the nod, then I leave open a 1% chance of competing. If it is more of the same, it will be ugly. The team appears totally checked out. I don’t need WRAL or anyone else to tell me what my eyes can plainly see. This coaching experiment is a disaster.

The writing is on the wall in a lot of ways. They are also talking to kids already inside the program...in many cases the same kids who swayed them here in the first place. BB and staff cannot connect with ANYONE under the age of 50 either on the field in the stands or in a booster meeting. That's a major issue.
