[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 991304, member: 1640"] Wow. UNC feeling like they need some kind of inside edge with Tech. That’s….something. You know your friend so maybe you can answer. Is he just being brave about this hire? Whistling past the graveyard? Does he think Collins is somehow the reason UNC can’t beat Tech? What do you make of this? Inquiring minds want to know. Also wonder if his response is typical for loyal tarheels trying to be supportive of the program or he is more the exception. Four examples come to my mind. We hired a head coach from Virginia to be DC at Tech and some of their fans both warned us and were happy he was gone. We hired a basketball coach from Memphis and their fans were happy he was going. Same thing happened with the coach we hired before him. We hired a football coach from Temple and their fans were jumping up and down he was gone. To be fair, not all these were necessarily bad hires for Tech, and none of these other hires compare to the abomination we hired from Temple, but I am struck by how the fans of the receiving school always think “this time will be different” and all this coach needs is a change of scenery.
