Yeah, losing your head coach to fuging Liberty is a big wake up call for you as a program.

We were told this by the Ole Miss fans. They weren't wrong. Ole Miss always put up tons of yards but trailed significantly behind in points. Honestly, he's had two really good QBs to work with at UNC and that's made him look a lot better than he is at times. I don't understand a lot of the ire at Mack Brown by some fans though. I mean, what did they expect? Mack Brown is a recruiter and program builder. He's never been a great Xs and Os or game day coach and he never will be. He was brought in to get us out of the dumpster that Fedora threw us into. Mission accomplished. We're in way better shape now than we were then. I said when Mack was hired it was the right move but a strong succession plan was a must. Unfortunately, I think Longo was the succession plan. And there in lies the issue. The guy has a great offensive design for the college game but the situational play calling is pure trash. It has always been pure trash.

I hate to admit it but you're not wrong. Jumping to Wisconsin did wonders for Russell Wilson. His completion percentage jumped nearly 15% and INTs dropped dramatically. He still slipped to the 3rd but that was just because back then being a sub-6' QB was a killer for draft stock. Had he stayed at state completing under 60% of his passes while throwing double digit INTs he may have gone undrafted.

I won't. These kids have to do what's best for them. Howell was getting #1 overall pick talk but lost his supporting cast and still had a mouth breathing moron for an OC. End result? He ends up going in the 5th round after pretty much single handedly carrying an entire offense on his back. That's what Drake Maye is going to be hearing from elite programs. And it's fair.

I'd love for him to return. With that said, he's crazy if he does. Especially if Phil Longo is still the OC.

Oh wee Maye.

I just got home. Someone please tell me Phil Longo has been fired.

Anyone who thinks Maye definitely won't leave isn't being realistic. Yeah, he's a legacy kid but he was also originally committed to Alabama so it's not like he wasn't looking elsewhere. Here's what he's going to be told... Your OC is a mouth breathing moron. You're losing your #1 WR. Your program doesn't have a depth bench. Sam Howell went from being talked about as a #1 overall pick to being a 5th rounder because your OC is a mouth breathing moron and your program doesn't have a depth bench. So... you wanna take this bag of cash and go #1 overall or do you want to go back to Chapel Hill and get the hell beat out of you while carrying the whole offense playing hero ball and then ultimately going in the 5th round? Your call. That's what this kid is going to hear. And you know what? It's fuging legit.

I've been calling for Longo to be replaced as OC since Howell's sophomore year. His play calling has been trash forever.

Phil Longo needs to be fired. Tonight.

They have. I'm still here. Maybe watching Maye's last snaps. The kid is going to be offered the world by elite programs and I don't blame him if he takes it.

This is what it looks like when you're both at a significant overall talent deficit and you're playing checkers against chess. We need significant changes on the staff.

No one even blocked and our D still can't stop poo. That's pretty impressive.

He's done exactly what was needed. Dragged us out of the gutter and back to respectability. But at his age it's definitely time to think about the succession plan. Longo ain't it.

We tend to put our guys on situations to have to play hero ball. Hell, I'm fine with it. But spread the field and let it rip. Don't cut the field in half with only two receiver.

Imagine an NC State fan talking poo. About literally anything.

That's on Maye. You just have to throw that in the stands. This redzone play calling is fuging trash though. Just trash. We haven't been a deep route on a single snap when Clemson has shown 0 and single high looks. But let them show three high and we try to run deep routes. It's unreal. Just Carolina football.

Nice "pass".

The rest of us watched those games too. The kid presses and throws pickable balls when pressured. He's young. He'll grow. But that's why Dabo was so hesitant to go to him. DJ was just so awful last week and early tonight and he's playing a D that can't generate pressure that the change makes all the sense in the world now.

Klubnik showed great flashes. He just turns the ball over when pressured. UNC's D can't pressure. It's the perfect situation.

Dabois dumb as a brick. But college coaching is recruiting and he can recruit his ass off. He can charm the hell out of these southern mamas with his Bible beating and aw shucks personality. He's a helluva college coach. Bama will go after him hard when Saban retires. Clemson should just hand him a blank check and tell him to write his own number.

Yeah, no poo. DJ is awful. Klubnik is a turnover machine when pressured but we can't pressure anybody. DJ is gonna hit the portal. Maybe UAB needs a QB. I can't imagine a decent P5 team being interested.

He should fire both his coordinators. Longo has a great offense but he's atrocious as a play caller. Chizik still thinks he's calling plays for an elite SEC D. He can't accept he can't run vanilla schemes when he doesn't have talent head and shoulders above his competition.

Classic Longo. He's the Mike Shula of college football. Actually, that's an insult to Shula. I previously said both were great if the initial game plan worked. Longo has proven tonight that he'll depart from a working game plan. It's absolutely baffling.
