Bill Snyder say he's still got at least 10 good years left in him.

Rumors going around of Kingsbury the OC and Chizik as DC and coach in waiting.

I'd be pissed if I was a Tar Heel fan. Feels like Polk II.

Good lord. What is UNC thinking? May as well have just kept Fedora.

I don't know. I thought Mac Brown was pretty mediocre at Texas, but looking at how well he did at UNC, and then at how much Texas has struggled, I'm not sure he didn't do a pretty good job of managing the terrible culture at Texas. I know he's 67, but that's not crazy old to be coaching.

Someone pointed out on Twitter that if Herm Edwards can be successful after being out of coaching 10 years, Brown can do it after 5.

I'm curious if the drama recently surrounding some programs (Ole Miss, Ohio St, Florida, Tennessee etc...) has AD's as lower tier schools wanting to make safer hires like Brown and Herm Edwards. It's been said among investment advisors "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" and I think you're seeing programs like ASU/UNC "buying IBM" by picking lower risk hires. They may not win big but they won't embarrass the school and if you end up firing them then you fired a guy who represented you well. Not saying I agree with it but I can see this being thought behind it.

Brown was never a great coach but he recruited well. Rumor is that Chizik will eventually take over as HC and Brown will move up to AD. North Carolina kind of like Kentucky as far as football is concerned

Should bring Watson with him. That would at least piss off NCState
