LOL @ Bring Back Botch. Another retread!
Here is a little snippet of when Botch was at UNC towards the end.
“Davis did recruit well, and Carolina was more competitive than they had been since the tenure of Mack Brown in Chapel Hill. That happens to be a very low bar, but this is the nice things part of the discussion.
That said, the corner never turned at UNC, or even came close to turning. Davis' teams never finished above .500 in the league. They never played in the ACC Championship Game, and in three appearances in mid-tier bowls only won one: last year's controversial victory over a mediocre Tennessee Volunteers squad in the Music City Bowl that prompted a change in the rulebook regarding clock rules. Their signature win is ... well, what exactly? The 20-17 victory over Virginia Tech in 2009? Last year's win over Florida State? The Music City Bowl? I'd argue that beating LSU in the 2010 opener despite missing 13 starters and burning countless redshirts in the process was their most heroic game, but that technically isn't a win, and awarding heroism points for self-inflicted roster losses seems beyond wrong.
UNC got to that point in Atlanta in 2010, the year when Carolina was really and truly supposed to emerge as a power, through gross mismanagement of the Tar Heels' program off the field. If Davis' onfield accomplishments were middling to somewhat improved, the administration of the program grades out at somewhere above atrocity and below bureaucratic horrorshow.”
I dont care what he just did at FIU. No More Retreads!
