UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

Unless Petrino is a miracle worker, I see very bad things in store for 2025. If we make a bowl, Petrino should get Broyles award.

I apologize for being optimistic but we should be better at QB, TE, WR, same at RB. Online was bad this year. Could it be worse? Traded kitchens for a guy considered offensive gurus. I bet we average more than 19 pts.

We also are significantly upgrading our schedule.

That is true.

LOL, yeah, points are going to be a lot harder to come by and mistakes will be penalized a lot more significantly. It cannot be overstated how awful our schedule was this year. A middle of the road college team and staff would have won 8 or 9 games against that schedule. A fringe Top 25 team would have likely run the table.

At least we kept Shipp. I was sure he was gone. Last year is done. Looking ahead.

I appreciate your optimism.

The biggest problem headed into 2026 is the O-Line. I hope the new QB is fleet-a-foot. I don’t see a Drake Maye or Sam Howell at QB; an Omarion Hampton or Javonte Williams or Michael Carter among the RB’s; who ARE the stud pick-ups at WR?; TE - sure, the O$U TE group was stacked; our transfer had 13 receptions over 3 seasons; the transfer from TX played in 9 games over 2 seasons and had 7 receptions.

I’m hopeful the bulk of transfer portals are good. We need them to be.

We will see. I think QB will make difference, petrino, we lose nothing if note in WR and bring in some talent in portal and frosh. Dare I suggest that I believe this staff, now somewhat acclimated might coach them up as well.
I think there are things to he optimistic about.

Hope you are correct.

We’ll begin to know in Ireland.

It feels like Bunting after year 2. I knew how the story was going to end, I just didn't know when.

We’ll upset a team on a FG to go 6-6 and make a shit bowl. As a result of the meaningless upset, we’ll keep a failed coach (4-8 and 6-6 or 7-5 is failed for this coach and staff).

We’ll keep John Bunt……oops, Bill Belichick and pass on hiring a Steve Spurrier.

Duke's Mayo Bowl?

Duke's Mayo Bowl?

Likely not that “good” of a bowl.
