Not the greatest...not even close. K, Knight, and Wooden are all easily better.

Maybe if you just look at individual resumes you can make that argument.

But once you look at it in a broader sense much harder to make that argument

If you take into account his push for social change and equality, things he did off the court that are both well known and not so well known.

When you look at his innovation and how he actually changed the game and how it was played.

When you take into account his relationship with his players far, far after they left UNC

And when you look at his coaching trees.

If you take onto account his genuine humility and humbleness

There is no one better than Dean, and it isn't just because of his on court accomplishments.

Just my 2 cents but I am a UNC fan and biased

Nice bias post. I am a State grad and fan. Was a student in late 80s and early 90 and absolutely hated. Smith as a coach. . Still though, Will be remembered as a revered coach and great leader of men. Smith is an iconic figure who essentially created the college BBall landscape we currently have. Great coach but at least 10 X better person. RIP Dean.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
