Love Mack Brown or hate him, he did not blindside Dick Baddour when he went to Texas. As a matter of fact, he basically gave us the opportunity to have him never even take the interview. It was Dickie who insisted that Mack should talk to them. Long time ago, but still an anecdote that drives me mad with what could have (and maybe should have) been. It took me a LONG time to not cuss when I said Dickie B's name for that mess.

^All valid and reasonable points.

I'm still OK with the hire since UNC needs a magician (Buck Sanders quote) next season to turn this offense around. No one outside of UNC (other than our hated rivals who'll hate us for anything we do) are going to think any less of us as a University for hiring Bobby Petrino as the offensive coordinator for our football team. BB needs to show significant improvement next season or he won't get his year 3.

We need talented players not smoke and mirror old magicians SMH
 
Agree but we needed to fill the OC position first, then work on acquiring talented players. Petrino describes his offensive strategy as “feeding the studs.” UNC needs to find those studs.
 
From Greg's latest article, regarding my question yesterday about Gio resigning/restructuring his contract. From this it seems he resigned for less money: "The Lopez renegotiation and Baker exit frees up money that can contribute to filling out the QB room, sources confirm."

I know that a BB and Lombardi talk the contracts being performance-based, but I thought that would only matter for the 1-year contracts - if a player signs a 1-year contract this year, then when they go to sign a 1-year contract next year the salary would be based off of this year's performance. Perhaps Gio's, and everyones, 2-year contract has a resigning clause? That seems weird and gives UNC/Lombardi a ton of power over the athletes.

Did Jake Dickert have talented studs at Wake Forest or was he just a better coach for what he did have?

You dont need studs to beat a bunch of ACC nobodys. Did WF have more talent than UNC? Absolutely, we were one of the worst talented teams in the country. No coach is good without talent...ask the GOAT.
