If Hubert misses the tourney this year that'll be missing the tourney in two out of four years. That won't cut it in Chapel Hill. Not on the hardwood. Wes Miller has built winning programs everywhere he's been as a head coach. I loved Hubert as a player and I don't think I've ever heard anyone utter a bad word about the man as a person. It's not personal in the least for me. I just had major concerns about hiring someone to coach at UNC who had no prior head coaching experience. Just because you're a long time assistant for a great coach at UNC doesn't mean you're equipped to be the man. Bill Guthridge says "Hi!" If it wasn't for a fluke red hot run to the title game in his first season Hubert's seat would be hotter than the surface of the sun right now.

If Wes Miller keeps winning and Hubert keeps losing it's going to be an easy decision.

Since Tepper bought the team the Panthers just traditionally lose games. There doesn't need to be a qualifier.

I'm a Heels fan and Panthers fan. Same as always. You're a Heels/Panthers/Buffaloes/all things Deion/whoever won this week fan.

Well, there's this...

The unbelievable irony of the forum's biggest bandwagoner trying to throw down the gauntlet of closing the door for bandwagoners to hop on. That's amazing stuff.

I'm all for letting those one and done guys go to duke and Kentucky. Our last championship team had no long-term NBA players and only one 1st round pick. Then we came a few minutes away from another championship with no 1st round picks. I'm all for recruiting top 30-60 type guys who project as really good college players but borderline NBA players. Keep them around 3-4 years and try to build experienced, balanced teams. With the NIL money they'll be able to make they won't be itching to jump into the draft unless they're 1st round locks.

If you're not SEC or Big10 you just don't matter https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/rankings/college-football-rankings-revenue-teams

Probably the opposite. I think the powers that be realize that football is the new king by miles. It's been king for years but now basketball is way distant in the rearview. You need football to be a real revenue generator to help support the basketball program. Just look at the SEC vs. ACC head to head basketballs matchups this year. The SEC is absolutely dominating with that football $$$.

I have no idea who that is and whether his sources are legit or even exist. But I wouldn't be surprised.

This needed to get done yesterday. I think we're probably flailing and in scramble mode.

You have guys like Jalen Milroe at Bama who can't effectively throw a football. Hell, depending on what UNC does with their coaching search he might just slide 8 miles down the road.

If UNC doesn't have an announcement today or tomorrow it probably means we've struck out on the A and B list and we're in desperation mode. You know, just normal Tar Heel football. LOL

Belichick's former players who also obviously played college ball literally laugh off the idea of Belichick as a college coach. https://x.com/langstonwertzjr/status/1865914703039402197?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1865914703039402197|twgr^02fa9b7e04b42edee1be40a027d08c03e3e040b6|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftarheelswire.usatoday.com%2F2024%2F12%2F09%2Func-football-bill-belichick-tom-brady%2F

The backup QB coming in and looking better than Beck probably has something to do with it. I mean, most people watching UGA have been wondering for awhile why the hell this guy hasn't been yanked yet. Not exactly the same situation as FSU last year when FSU's backup looked atrocious in a win against Louisville on the ACC championship game. When he went 8/21 their playoff hopes died. UGA's backup went 12/16.

I've seen a lot of people saying this but FSU would've easily been in a 12 team field. FSU just got screwed because it was the last year of the four team format.

Yeah, and his hardly any experience having backup came in and immediately looked dramatically better. If Beck doesn't get injured UGA loses that game. If they roll with Beck again Athens is gonna riot.

I feel like most teams probably best a higher percentage with 6th and 7th rounders than we do with 2nd rounders. Hell, WE might bat a higher percentage with 6th and 7th rounders than we do with 2nd rounders. LOL

Beck sucks and UGA's offense suddenly looked noticably better as soon as he went out. I'll take my chances with Stockton.

DJ showed typical future draft pick college progression. Talented newcomer to solid contributor to star over the course of three years and was 21 at the time of the draft. Roughly half his college stats came his junior year which was his last in college. Legette was basically a complete no show who would've gone undrafted had he not had the special exemption of a fifth college season due to COVID and was 23 at the time of the draft. About 75% of his yardage came in his super senior year.

Risk/reward. When it's an older prospect who is still considered raw that's a serious red flag. When it's a young guy with off the charts physical ability that you seem highly coachable then it's tempting. A lot of raw prospects get drafted in the mid-late rounds. I mean, pretty much all of those guys are either going to be raw or have serious concerns on whether or not their college success can translate to the NFL.

Makes me wonder if they've seen enough of Penix in practice to come to the conclusion that he sucks too and playing him will just give the critics even more ammo. LOL

Yeah, being out that long and popping it so soon again after coming back with limited usage is very alarming.

Predictable. Non-contact injuries almost always end up worst case scenario. Glad the kid was able to get paid. Hate that we made the dumbass mistake to trade up to draft damaged goods at RB.
