This isn't even close. Rivera never had back to back winning seasons and finished his career with an overall losing record at 102-103. McD only had one losing season in 9 and had 7 straight 10+ win seasons and is currently only 4 wins away from Ron's win total but he has 53 fewer losses.

Yeah, UNC isn't going to hired a non-alum 20 year assistant at Gonzaga with no HC experience. But his success at Arizona clearly shows they should have.

Yeah, you don't say something like that at his age in the prime of your coaching career unless you're gone. It's not like he's retirement age where it would be understandable to be thinking about the wellbeing of the program after you hang it up. If he wins a national championship and leaves that job to come to UNC, that's the most blue blood baller move ever. I mean, when we poached Roy from Kansas Roy wad coming home. Poaching a guy with no ties to the program who just won a national championship at a really good program would be next level flexing on the college basketball world.

Sure seems like they want to go OT/LB with the top two picks.

A guard and a nickelback with our first two picks? About the only way you could get less positional value would be to take a fullback and a punter.

It's a pretty remarkable title drought they're on considering the amount of NBA talent they've had stop by for a cup of coffee on their way to being a lottery pick.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

What a dickhead.

Roy won 19 his first year them proceeded to win 30+ in four of the next five.

The folks wanting MJ more involved might be getting their wish. Word is we had MJ call Tommy Lloyd to have a talk.

I'd hate to see it if you WERE a lover. LOL Proctor looks like Temu Mekhi Becton to me. Becton was a significantly better mover at the college level than Proctor and he busted hard as an NFL OT and has still even been terrible at OG because he still gets exposed in space even on the inside. There's a reason why most NFL OL are significantly smaller than these guys. The Jonathan Ogdens of the world are absolute unicorns.

Same. I think NFL speed rushers are gonna eat his lunch. And yeah, pretty much everyone that starts on the OL at Bama is at minimum gonna get a chance to play in the NFL. The overall unit is going to be one of the best on the country at the college level every year.

Proctor is gonna be a love/hate prospect and even his lovers will likely admit that the bust factor is high. You gotta want a giant mauler of an OT to love him and even if you want a giant mauler OT you're still concerned if he's going to have the movement skills in space to handle NFL speed rushers. Honestly, I think he's gonna bust.

He specifically didn't say LB. I'd make note of that. Very well could indicate that's the target position.

It's why I hated the Butler and Shaq picks. When we made those picks, DT and LB were probably our strongest position groups and we looked past huge needs to make luxury picks for depth and future development. Now if we'd drafted guys who developed into perennial All Pros, all good. But that's kinda what you need to justify those types of luxury picks. Some would argue that Shaq justified it. I wouldn't. Just because we ended up paying him like an All Pro doesn't mean he was an All Pro (note: he wasn't). Butler was an outright bust which makes it a really tough pill to swallow for a luxury pick.
