2024 College Football Thread

Reports coming out that Mack Brown intends on returning next year. Carolina has to just pay them man his contract and tell him he's retired. The program is being held hostage currently. I don't want this to turn political but it's the best comparison I can make. It feels like Joe Biden where the pitch was to bring in this old man to right the ship and return to normalcy but then once in the old man doesn't want to give it up.

UNC doesn't care about football. Brown will continue to coach as long as he wants to. Until UNC gets serious about football these are the decisions they will continue to make.

Not great. Tough to recruit when the kids you're recruiting have to know that the likelihood of you being their coach throughout their college career is slim to none.

There is already talk of a renovation or a new basketball arena for UNC. It will always be a basketball program until they bring someone in on the football who's serious about competing on the football side.

See Spurrier at SC for how the negative recruiting is going to effect UNC 

As soon as he said the 2 or 3 more years comment recruits started dropping like flies.

It's not going to be a reno it's probably going to be a state of the art facility built next door where the skipper boules lot is.  The dean dome is 40 years old and once you start trying to upgrade things problems tend to snowball

That's a lot of history in that building. I prefer they just renovate, but I wouldn't be mad at a new building either.
