Dude...you cant have it all ways all the time. Belichick wanted a fucking HULU series and to be on Hard Knocks. Everyone who supported this hire bathed in all the attention when it was preseason hoopla. You weren't bemoaning it then. Can't run away from it now. They are doing their job at least to a minimal level by not ignoring the $50million shitshow unfolding in Chapel Hill.
Two things can be possible. BB was a mistake and Raleigh media wants a scalp. This is simple question. Why has months after a lawsuit alleging years of sexual assault by male trainer against male athletes at NC state in what was characterized as an open secret is Nando and WRAL continuing to basically ignore a story? What is worse? UNC losing football games or these allegations? The day gop released gerrymandered maps WRAL had one reporter on that and 4 or 5 knocking on doors of trustees asking about BB. All I have said is don't trust Raleigh media because they are on a mission. And they are.
What mission? To get BB fired? To get Pryor and Roberts replaced? Hell, at this point all of that would be doing us a favor from my perspective. The entire thing is a fiasco. And I agree two things could be true. The Raleigh media could be insufferable cocksuckers and they could be correct about Belichick and those who hired him.
I guess you are not interested in answering a question. I know a ton of UNC fans. Very few don't want this to play out. I will say again. This is about UNC not BB. Get even time. Do you think Raleigh media should be hounding NC state?
He cannot separate the two issues. He's convinced he's winning a debate that no one else is even having with him. You'll end up back at square one.
Of course I think they should be burying NC State and Debbie Yow in particular. I said that when the articles first came out. However, I care far more about UNC than I do NC State. I care more that we have competent leadership than I do that the cesspool at the fairgrounds gets theirs.
Cool. So that is a step. I have said all along don't trust media that is agenda driven. I don't. And while I have been very concerned about lots of what I have heard, I continue to sort out what to believe. I saw a team supposedly in turmoil fight like hell Friday. BB supposedly checked out has two Florida pledges and one PSU in campus this weekend. BB will get next year. We will see. But fuck WRAL and Nando.
i don’t read wral or watch it. I don’t think it’s a shock they would do something like this for the reasons WMheel said. I don’t give a shit about nc state
And if BB gets next year, I have little doubt it will be as much of a train wreck as this year.
I think that unless he and the staff are willing to greatly renegotiate their buyout amounts, it's probably best to give him another year.
I agree. But I also think next season is going to be a disaster and leave us in a bigger hole.
Serious question. Do people think BB has forgot how to coach? I am more and more believing his son is a good DC. Special teams has been solid, the offense not good, but while some of that is perhaps the offense, clearly we have oLine, QB and perhaps OC issues. Recruiting is solid, and the class has not fallen apart (yet). And while recruiting hovers in the historical mean 10 months ago when we had no 4 stars and a small class ranked 70ish I think most would have been thrilled with this class in quantity and quality. The game last week suggests some improvement but more importantly the team is fighting to get better.
guys like McMichael, Ritzie, Dalton, and to a lesser extent Gainer (though he was injured most of his year at UNC) got their cup of coffee in the NFL due to athletic traits, not necessarily because they were good football players. McMichael has spent time with three different teams the past three years and hasn't played a snap for any of them. the back ends and practice squads of NFL teams are full of that kind of player, with coaches thinking there's maybe a chance they can harness those athletic traits in a way that hasn't happened yet - there are only so many good players available, after all. it's not at all unique to UNC, but we've probably had more of that kind of guy recently because of Mack's great recruiting classes that didn't pan out due to him being a bad coach.
It wasn't just Mack, Fed too.
And the "bad coach" and "athletic traits" stuff just folds back into my desire for a "do more with less" coach who can make these raw athletes a little more helpful on the field. I think culture of toughness and discipline probably go a long way toward making that happen.
I struggle with this. You are right that it would be much more difficult to hire a coach this offseason compared to other years with all of the openings at other programs.
