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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
