But it should have been expected.  He could have retired after Brady left and his legacy would be secure.  But he just couldn't do it.  And coaching college is a world of difference than coaching in the NFL.

That being said, he could still turn it around.  But I doubt having him will ever get UNC to the heights they expected when they signed him.  

His ego was never gonna allow that

I was bored at work today so I typed up my ideas for CFB realignment:

D1 college football would be split into 2 tiers of 5 conferences each: Power 5 (P5) and Group of 5 (G5) conferences.

To bring the total number of FBS teams to an even 140, the following FCS teams would make the moved up into the G5 tier: North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State and Sacramento State.

The P5 tier would consist of 50 teams with 10 teams per conference. Every team would play every other team in it's conference every year.

There would be no conference championship games in P5 tier since teams will play each other during the season to provide the head-to-head tie breaker.

The G5 tier would consist of 90 teams in 5 conferences of 18 teams split into 2 divisions. Teams would play every team in their division every year along with teams from the other division on a rotating schedule.

G5 conference championship games would be held the week following the Army-Navy game between the two division winners from each G5 conference. In the event that Army and Navy are the two division winners in the American conference, the Army-Navy game itself would decide the conference championship.

P5 tier would retain the current 12-team playoff structure and seeding rules with the existing Bowl Game rotation remaining in place.

G5 tier would use a 16-team playoff with conference champions guaranteed the top-5 seeds + homefield advantage in the 1st round. Seeds 6-16 would be decided by national rankings. Homefield advantage would be decided by seeding in the 2nd round with the G5 National Championship held at a neutral site.

There would be a promotion/relegation system in place.

Each P5 conference would have a satellite conference in the G5 as follows:
 - ACC/American
 - Big 10/MAC
 - PAC/MWC
 - SEC/Sun Belt
 - SWC/C-USA

Every 5 years the team in each P5 conference with the worst W-L record over the previous 5 seasons would be relegated to their conference's G5 satellite. Likewise, the team with the best W-L record during the previous 5 seasons will be moved up into the P5.

Any other movement of teams between conferences would be subject to approval by the CFB Competition Committee and teams are only permitted to switch conferences once every 10 years.

The Walter Camp Award will be awarded to the best player in P5 tier. The Maxwell Award will serve as the G5's equivalent award.

The Heisman Trophy will be awarded to the best player in the nation, regardless of conference or tier.
