Kudos to UNC if this is true. Being a HC is a PR job too and as a school you can't have someone making Hard Knocks declare they can't work with your school because someone you didn't even vet or hire pissed them off ... I wondered about the family, sadly I've seen a similar situation and the...

It's time to move on from JJ.

I don't expect the same outcome, but when looking at candidates "this guy actually lead us to an undefeated season" is a pretty big plus that few will have.

I don't see why not. At UCF what do you want? Someone who can take your team to an undefeated season? I know a guy ...

I was about to make a joke about this thread because I didn't remember it and then I saw my comment from 2 years ago and ... that was a better joke than I was thinking of today .... I peaked I think.

Damn that's a hell of a list.

I tell people that going to a Gopher game in November is often not that cold and just fine. Then I think about going to Chicago in November ... eehhhhhh ....

This is one of those "that's neat I should go to that" ... and then I think more about Wrigley for football "that's stupid ...".

Who said they're not trying harder. I say they're trying harder. There ... same kinda magical thinking. All done. This is one of those "idea guys" problems where someone asks some lone dev to just code the next facebook. There's reasons you can't just expect that to happen, but not to idea...

I think that argument is ... absurd / magical thinking. This idea that "well if you just get $50 million" ... what is that? Why not just get $100 million, $200 million? If that's a thing you just do, why not do that? Why doesn't everyone do that? 🤷‍♀️

No .... if you have X amount of dollars and you could pay down a loan, or use it elsewhere, using it elsewhere may in fact be the right choice. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/opportunitycost.asp

What's the rate on the Athletes Village loan? I see folks bring it up like it's some terrible thing to have a loan or something ... that's not how it works.

Interesting. I don't know what about an AD makes them magic fundraisers. I've seen some AD's touted as great fundraisers ... and they go somewhere else and don't... "Just get more money!" That seems like a job canon kinda situation. If it was that easy everyone would "just get more money".

I’d be concerned about the same thing. They hired Bill, may have some concerns about someone they didn’t choose making decisions….
