I wonder how this plays out, practically. He's not gonna want to recruit. He's not gonna want to meet boosters. I get the sense it's just renting his name to the program, like Derrida "taught" at UC Irvine.
On a macro level, it's a great move:
-Brings nat'l attention & recruits to a perennial mediocre-to-OK program
-Gives him 5 years to win ACC & make the CFP
-Last time UNC beat Clemson was 2010.
-Last time UNC won ACC was 1980.
-UNC has never won a natty.
Bonus: His gf can get her masters degree
1st, like in Colorado, maybe more than in Colorado, players will fight each other in the transfer portal to go there b/c they will see him as a path to the pros.
2nd, the possibility of a Washington-North Carolina non-conference tilt pits father vs. son. Juicy.
UNC are playing Syracuse next season, and I'm gonna drive the 4 hours there, tie up my Patriots-loving girlfriend and make her watch every excruciating minute like that scene in Bird Box.
