November 26, 20187 yr So with Les Miles and Mack Brown both back in the saddle it's got me to wondering where Jim Tressel is going to show up as HC. It's possible!

November 26, 20187 yr Mike Price was the worst hire in the history of college football. I mean, the guy never even got to coach a game there. And I could give a rat's ass about how this works out for North Carolina, but I'm in for a minimum because of the entertainment value and completely in for the potential schadenfreude. Shit, his introductory press conference will have about 200 posts here. Somebody fire up the bingo card. Edited November 26, 20187 yr by Mitch Cumsteen

More from the 'author' in the comments section (he clearly wears skinny jeans): Quote His first three years at UNC happened before I was born. You guys remember its 2018 right? Just because something happened 30 years ago doesn’t mean its smart to try and replicate it again. Posted by william.curry on Nov 26, 2018 | 9:31 AM Edited November 26, 20187 yr by clapclapclap

November 26, 20187 yr I doubt Mack has forgotten how to recruit. I do know Mack is no longer able to evaluate talent. He'll just go on 247 and find the highest rated guys in NC and the surrounding area and go recruit them.

He'll just go on 247 and find the highest rated guys in NC and the surrounding area and go recruit them. There is a lot of talent in NC that is leaving NC to the states surrounding it. If he can get those players and develop them it would be a great hire. Develop is the keyword though...don't know if he has it in him and if he doesn't then he will need to make the right hires to do it, which he has shown to not be very good at in the latter part of his time here.
November 26, 20187 yr So Texas makes the Big 12 Championship game and suddenly Mack Brown wants to be a coach again to prove he’s still got it? He probably took the job so he can fuck us in the Coaches Poll.
November 26, 20187 yr Plenty of people on this board would have ousted Herman to have him back here after MD.
November 26, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, closetojumping said: That all considered, I think this is a great hire for UNC. If Brown hires young talent to support him, he's got virtually no headwinds working against him. He inherits a modicum of talent to work with and he's in a talent rich area. Exactly how good is their roster? Brown captained an immediate turnaround at Texas but with NFL talent all over the place. He also started 2-20 his first time around at North Carolina.

November 26, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Hank Chinaski said: If Mack was brought in to stabilize the program while grooming some up-and-coming coordinator to take over in a few years, this would make some sense. But then again, the HC-in-waiting thing didn't really follow the script the first time around. This is exactly what’s happening. Apparently Fedora destroyed the relationships with HS coaches there. Mack is coming to mend fences and groom successor.

November 26, 20187 yr Mack daddy with Chizik and Kliff could very well work in NC. Not sure why either of those guys would take that job but if they do it’ll prove Mack can still sell.This. I want to see this.
November 26, 20187 yr Can't wait to hear all of his bullshit again and at a different university! We can still play bingo, no?
November 26, 20187 yr Did UNC not see all of the search results of the bad years because we started referring to him as FUPM?
November 26, 20187 yr You just look at Dabo over there and it’s all about knowing he’s your new Bob Stoops.
November 26, 20187 yr I demand watch threads of all of his UNC press conferences. I want to hear about the great kids from the great high schools of North Carolina. How NC State is the best in the country. Wake Forest scares you to death. The Duke head coach is a good friend of his.
November 26, 20187 yr Time for Mack to dust off the old iPod. Hope the good kids that graduate still like Chamillionaire, Missy Elliott, and Akon.

November 26, 20187 yr I know the fans are excited, but we dont play freshmen. Seniors have waited their time to play, they get to play. What you get with seniors (waving his hands all over the place) is fewer penalties, so we like that.
November 26, 20187 yr Saw where he might be trying to bring Kingsbury and Chizik with him. That might be a pretty good staff.

November 26, 20187 yr I think that you could argue that Brown "burnt out" at Texas. I really think he thought Colt and company were gonna take 'Bama and he was gonna take some time off. Obviously that did not happen and that's when I think he lost his fire and thus his intensity. Coaching is I do think addictive, expecially if you really want to make kids grow up into better people. For the most part I think Brown did a good job of that aspect of coaching at every place he landed, including Texas. I also think he has a special place in his heart for North Carolina, as his teams sucked dick his first two years or so and the school stuck with him giving hims time to build a program. I think that being away for a few will have lit Mack's fire again to coach kids. I know I miss it, and think Mack just wants to go back and make a difference in the lives of young men. He knows the importance of developing the pipeline with the endorsement of high school coaches, and he will do well at NC IMO. He also is a loyal guy to work for (despite my hatred of Greg Davis). There are good guys out there that could be potential staff and I think Brown is doing it for reason's other than money. Hell if you get $500K to go eat dinners and check out some practices, you don't take on a real job like head coach. You go find more endorsement deals... if money is your goal. I wish Brown and his future staff the very best! Looking at his side of the ACC, I would expect success to be very possible! As dead last and winless in the ACC the only direction to go is Up! It will never be Mack Brown DKR stadium, but I could could see Mack Brown Memorial in Chapel Hill if Brown revives the program and becomes "the baby blue wizard" of the Chappel Hill as his final legacy.

November 26, 20187 yr I'm just glad I wont have to hear him as a commentator on ESPN for... A few years

Chizik was just the DC at UNC in 15-16 and gave up 645 yards rushing to a crippled team of rape enthusiasts, and ranked solidly in the bottom half of defense nationally.
November 26, 20187 yr I don't know how this hire will work out for UNC and Mack....but what I do know is this thread will reach 75 pages by this time next year as Surly follows Mack through year 1 of his triumphant return.
