    Sometimes bad teams compete. They are at the bottom. If the old East existed they’d be dead last. They lost to Georgia, Florida, Carolina, and Vandy at -61 point differential.

    An awful SEC doesn’t mean they suck vs say the sun belt. Kentucky this year would be great there. They are just bottom tier SEC

    And where are Miami, aTm, and Tennessee? Tell both sides of the story, please.

    Apparently, that's all that's required when talking about college football, and Pete fulfills the requirement. But, Chapel Hill is a very nice place, and since football is a distant second to basketball there it would be a good place to coach since most of the time you'd be under the radar. When I lived in the area, Carolina fans would leave a football game to go watch basketball practice.

    Agree. I think he quit after the covid season because his agent didn't get the bump he wanted. But, Stiklin did and gave him extension. Then proceeded to fire him later after giving him à larger buyout. :confused:

    It’s two different jobs. A coach attracted to UNC is not a coach interested in winning championships or it’s a coach looking to cut his teeth before moving up. UNC and UF aren’t looking for the same type of candidates. Of course that’s just my opinion.

    I agree. I lived in the area when Spurrier was at Duke. They played a game to win the title in 1989 and had less than 15k at the game and it was at home. Carolina is the same way. 8 or 9 wins a year is good enough. Carolina had a 10 win season when Dick Crum was there and it was an afterthought cuz it was bball season.

    All 3 obviously have good teams this year, certainly better results than UF. However, to me that is an even bigger negative reflection on Napier.

    Cristobal is in his third year just like Napier and is undefeated. (Many here thought the guy was a bad hire)
    Elko is in his first year in Aggies land and is winning big.
    Heupel is in his 4th year at UT, inherited a crap program yet has never had a losing season.

    Napier is in his third season and fans are still hoping to see his first winning season.
