I have no idea what you guys thought of him when he was Zook's OC, but he has UF ties. He is an offensive mind, with a lot of HC experience. I know his current record at UNC isn't great, but I believe it's at least partially due to the sanctions, the rest is not having the type of talent he needs to run a wide open offense. I witnessed first hand his time at USM and the job he did to bring that program up from the gutter to a potential BCS buster can't be overstated. I think the guy is a major sleeper with the right DC to complement him. Do you think he'll be considered even though he's fallen off a bit?

He will definitely be considered. He's also a really good recruiter. Not sure he brings the notoriety to surround himself with really good assistants though.

He pretty much left the USM program in shamble though.

I think he makes sense if bigger names fall through, I just didn't know if there was a back-story there from his time with Zook. Was he regarded as a good OC?

I have several USM alumni in the family, and the way he left there definitely makes me not like him much. I totally get taking the better job, but he threw a really good team completely under the bus.

I don't think he did any worse than any other coach who gets a better offer. He recruited well while he was there. Word around the program is that Ellis Johnson treated his time at USM as a prison sentence, and never gave the illusion of trying.

Yes. He's well respected offensively. Think he will be considered but probably not in the top 10-15 guys.

No thanks

I actually think he might be a really good coach, but no way we are hiring a guy with such a poor record at UNC. Foley is going to make a splash hire. Too bad UNC was under sanctions, or Fedora may have won enough to seriously be considered.

My thoughts in a nutshell.

North Carolina has given up record number of points this year.
Combine that with the way he left USm = no thanks.

There's always something, or the guy would be coaching somewhere you can't pull him from. The trick is find a guy who's "something" won't be an issue at your school. Making HC experience such a priority really changes the game.
