North Carolina Tar Heels (official thread)

Just sayin'; The win yesterday over TCU wasn't all that impressive; but, it was a win. Regardless UNC football still has some problems:

Is the Bill Belichick era at North Carolina already coming to a close?​

There's a tradition at the University of North Carolina that, at the start of each new school year, students drink from the school's famed Old Well, then make a promise to deliver a 4.0 GPA. This year, Tar Heels football coach Bill Belichick joined students for the event.

"The 4.0 doesn't always come," student body president Devin Duncan said, "but being out there is nice."

This, perhaps, best symbolizes where the North Carolina football program is at the threshold of a new season, Belichick's second in Chapel Hill. His tenure began with immense hope for a wildly successful future, fell far short in a tumultuous first year, and now, as the Tar Heels prepare to take the field in Ireland against TCU (noon ET on Saturday, ESPN), there's little more to rely on than Belichick's word that this season will be different.

"We made a lot of progress, and we continue to do that," Belichick said at the start of fall camp. "The program is headed in a positive direction."

What Belichick has delivered so far, however, has been a miserable 4-8 record in his first season and a culture inside the football building that various current and former athletics department staff members called "a circus," "a mess" and "a disaster."

Just moments before that first news conference of fall camp began, the school announced an official investigation into Michael Lombardi, Belichick's longtime consigliere and handpicked GM and, according to one UNC staffer, "the most hated man in the building," following a complaint filed by a former employee with the school's human resources department.

Belichick and all other UNC staff members were barred from discussing the investigation, the school said in a release.

A week after the Lombardi investigation began, Belichick announced that his son Steve, who serves as the team's defensive coordinator, would be taking a leave of absence due to an undisclosed medical issue. There is no timeline for the younger Belichick's return, and the head coach has offered no indications as to who is running the defense in Steve's absence.

Meanwhile, inside the football building, more than a half-dozen current and former UNC staff members levied allegations of bullying subordinates, ignoring basic compliance guidelines, and maintaining a near-surveillance-state level of oversight of staff and assistant coaches that felt akin to a constant test of loyalty.

Former Ohio State TE Jelani Thurman looks like he found the perfect home after leaving Columbus if his first game in the ACC means anything.

Former Buckeye Jelani Thurman looks like a real weapon in the ACC ​

Thurman hauled in four receptions for 94 receiving yards in his Tar Heels debut, a Week 0 win over TCU in Dublin, Ireland, that put his name on the map in the ACC if it wasn’t already.

I know we need to see how it plays out abd it’s not like we have a choice, but the thought of 12 personnel 42% of the time with this WR group kind of grosses me out.

I don’t mind it, especially this year. Unlike previous seasons, they don’t have an up-and-coming stud sophomore and are relying on a solid returning starter and transfer. And you’d still be seeing a majority of 3+ WR sets.

I don't know. The few games I watched last year when the used that I thought were pretty interesting. You get to hear the discussions in the booth when they are reviewing the video. Seems to me it makes them more accountable.
