All of Duke nation with their solid HC:

fsu-engineer.bsky.social•93 days ago

This is the only time I’ve ever heard of Manny as a “solid HC”.

bluedevilinhou.bsky.social•93 days ago

He got a rough deal at Miami. I have him a lot is shit when he was there, but he’s having a great season. Would definitely have more looks for AccCOY if Lashlee was not setting the World on fire!

Also, if he did suck, his buyout isn’t $63 million. Pretty solid to me

fsu-engineer.bsky.social•93 days ago

Aw I’m just giving you shit. Manny’s fine. Any HC that gets fired while sitting in a recruit’s home is alright with me.

bluedevilinhou.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yes sir! Hope Norvell turns it around next year. Truthfully

nicktkofarms.bsky.social•93 days ago

Manny beat your boys this year didn’t he? Lol

fsu-engineer.bsky.social•93 days ago

Everyone beat us.

If they want to talk to me, I'll listen.

scienceguyinfl.bsky.social•93 days ago

Feel bad for the freshman class he recruited. Should I stay or should I go now?

ibemurf007.bsky.social•93 days ago

Whoa! What did I miss? I thought it was the Power 5?

mis-mannered.bsky.social•93 days ago

I am not a fan of this. The man has given his heart and soul to this university...twice... and he doesn't have a legit QB. There had to be a better way.

jrc0308.bsky.social•93 days ago

You obviously have not watched this team this year.

stonewall1117.bsky.social•93 days ago

UNC feels like one of those jobs that if they just got the right coach that was invested in them, they could jump into the blue blood category quickly.

happyfunball9.bsky.social•93 days ago

That kind of talk has been floating around college football since the Dick Crum era in the mid-80s. I'm doubtful it will happen in my lifetime 😆

stonewall1117.bsky.social•92 days ago

That is fair. Clemson finally got it right though. So, it could happen.

happyfunball9.bsky.social•92 days ago

Clemson's always been better than the Tobacco Road teams in the ACC. They won the national champions in 1981 with Danny Ford.

UNC football is going to be the redheaded stepchild of UNC basketball for eternity. It's nice to be hopeful about such things, though. 😆

movezig.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yep, he wasn't planning on it. Didn't need to either.

joe101river.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hate it for Mack Brown but it was time

merchantsmith.bsky.social•93 days ago

Whoa!

dflan1.bsky.social•93 days ago

It's time for the sunset Mack,great career!!

poppafred.bsky.social•93 days ago

Wow

shminky.bsky.social•93 days ago

Are you really reporting sports news on Bluesky? Gosh wish we would have left your conservative loser maga brained goblins on twitter. Go talk to your dictator you loser.

carp001.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thought for sure he would be forced to retire after this season but sounds like Mack had other plans and it was accelerated.

thenessview.bsky.social•93 days ago

It was time.

jlamm82.bsky.social•94 days ago

Do Dave Doeren next please.

chrisvannini.com•94 days ago

Mack Brown will coach Saturday against NC State. TBD on if he'll coach the bowl game.

wellestarr1.bsky.social•93 days ago

They can hire Ryan Silverfield. I'm sure we'd be willing to waive the buyout.

jaker.fightins.online•94 days ago

Dave Doeren's lifeforce is in considerable peril

jlamm82.bsky.social•93 days ago

One can hope, but I doubt it. #FireDaveDoeren

erock10.bsky.social•93 days ago

Tough getting old...

fragnificentkw.bsky.social•93 days ago

UNC should hire Dan Mullen. He’d be an amazing fit and thrive there

mshriver.bsky.social•94 days ago

IS GEOFF COLLINS THE INTERIM HC???

pootietang.bsky.social•93 days ago

On behalf all yellow jackets...

daholtster.bsky.social•94 days ago

Meh, it's a basketball school.

jeervin.bsky.social•93 days ago

Sad to see, Mack Brown is a great, and at times, awesome coach. But he doesn’t know when to exit the stage. Same thing happened at Texas.

ohnocoop.bsky.social•94 days ago

Can you confirm Mark Stoops is the leading candidate?

keithbuckhout.bsky.social•93 days ago

ACC experience and has already rescued a basketball school’s football program!

djnyy2.bsky.social•93 days ago

They can have James Franklin

ibathewonderdog.bsky.social•93 days ago

Send them Gundy …

genirae.bsky.social•93 days ago

Not surprised. Time to retire Mack.

dixonyamada.bsky.social•93 days ago

should have been fired after being smoked by James Madison. or after losing to Duke the following week.

dawgfanatic.bsky.social•93 days ago

Not sure North Carolina is a “big one”.

tha-answer.bsky.social•93 days ago

Nobody wants that job

rachaelc.bsky.social•93 days ago

Finally. This should have happened a lot sooner. Can’t tell you how happy this UNC fan is to see the back of him walk out to door.

tarheeledtexan.bsky.social•93 days ago

UNC Football, just a coach and a couple of recruiting classes from a perennial Top 10 program.

wyntrchylde.bsky.social•93 days ago

With the right replacement, this feels like a planned realignment opening move.

tarheeledtexan.bsky.social•93 days ago

One that should have been made at least five years ago…

wyntrchylde.bsky.social•93 days ago

Where would you prefer they make the nice to?

tarheeledtexan.bsky.social•93 days ago

Not like there are great choices; it’s SEC or Big10. My real hope is that the whole system explodes with football pulling itself completely out of the NCAA ecosystem so that all of the other sports can collapse back into more geographically logical conferences.

wyntrchylde.bsky.social•93 days ago

I kinda want the SEC and B1G to just go ahead and fraction out. The 12 team playoff would be way cooler without them. Just make them their own division and make them play each other every week. No more Western St Rudolph's of Arkansas on Alabama's schedule.
