UNC 2024 Post Game

[bobongo]

Good morning!

The Jackets won yesterday


The point returned for a TD was almost blocked, and it was short, leading to the TD. He bobbled the snap.

Forgot about that one. But other than that, he's had a good year. At least he recovered, and got the punt off.

You know how, as time goes on, you forget the bad and only remember the good? That time used to be decades, but is now down to hours with me.

The point returned for a TD was almost blocked, and it was short, leading to the TD. He bobbled the snap.

I didn't notice that, but I watched him drop a snap that hit him in the hands and barely get the kick off. He was lucky that it took a GT bounce. Perhaps he should start wearing receiver gloves.

Our special teams had a bad day overall. Punt and kick coverage needs work. Key mentioned this in his presser.

But this is crazy...there is no reason this cannot be worked out...he has the raw talent. My son was a kicker and so we came up through camps and clinics and dealt with amazing special teams coaches who can teach mechanics

It’s not mechanics. It’s in his head.

Perhaps the most disrespectful Haynes TD move probably wasn't fully caught on video.

When he scored to put us up 34-24, after he carried the 300lb DL into the endzone, Haynes did the ol' "he's too small" move.

Camera cut away too fast to catch it all but the snark-masters like myself peeped game.

Haynes should've Hulked up on the big boy. Cameras would've stayed with that one.....

Maybe I blended two punts, but he barely got off the punt that was returned for a TD, and it was really short.

I hope he was. Wish he'd done it sooner if he had the juice. I'd don't wish ill on the man, but kicking his @$$ every time we play him is just fine with me.

39 yards? Not all that short. But it was kind of a line drive, I guess.

Yeah, the line drive didn't allow our coverage to get in position. Huzzie might still have scored, but the punt certainly didn't help.

PFF Grades

With all the talk about King's injury, we seem to have overlooked Goede's injury early on. He had been doing a good job (highest graded PFF) but at least Harpring came in and performed well.

Thanks for enlightening those of us who are among the ignorant masses (even though CBK contradicts your statement).

I appreciate your sarcasm as no one here would qualify as being ignorant!
Its just an opinion, not belittling anyone. Wronng opinion too apparently

thats not what the coach said in the post interview. He said he had 2 timeouts left and had the option to run the ball for a first down (Stop the clock) and run again or use one timeout. Then throw a higher probability pass to get into FG range for the win. aka the runs were important to get a little further downfield so we could throw a higher probability pass to get into FG range and then use the last timeout.

So if you just throw the ball there like you suggested then that would be bad coaching. Glad you are not the coach.

You and I both are glad I’m not the coach!
If I had been, we would have missed Haynes turning on the jets and breaking UNC’s hearts.

I'm confused. "What" was not a secret?

And, even if he was plotting, he was right.

I imagine HS coaches were probably scratching their heads at whatever Collins was selling. It's not like they were sending us their recruits.

We were all plotting to get him. Such a horrifically bad coach needs to be gone. It was in the best interest of GT

We all should be glad we're not the coach. I know I am.

His secret walkie talkie could not save him

He has to have direct contact with his public relations team at all time.

That's the only way he could have had so much air time. The broadcast team actually resurrected the "historic transition" from the option theme.

Is there a coach less worthy of love from apologists?

I was an every-other-week golfer until my green fees became baby wipes and diapers. Never have gotten back into it. However, on the contrary, I do recall that I would remember that great shot on #18 that proved to me that I could play that game. That is what brought me back week after week, not the missed putt or chili-dipped chip shot. Maybe it's just me.

Baby wipes and diapers are for sure hobby changers.
I’m here to apologize for any and everything I said yesterday. Pretty sure I was arguing just to be arguing which made zero sense.
Yes sir, the O-Line blocked a path that a semi could have driven through!
Enjoy the baby wipe and diaper stage of your children’s lives. Honestly, 15-16 years from now you’ll feel like you blinked & replaced the diaper money with Dad….I really want to live off campus in an apartment with my friends. Can you please help with some $$?

I doubt he is back at unc next year. Who else in the ACC would hire him now?
