A lot of folks have had a lot to say about the Carolina football program this offseason, and that’s been an interesting change of pace. It’s no surprise that national attention followed Coach Belichick to Chapel Hill, and it’s certainly no shock that this attention has intensified after a few according-to-sources stories and a baffling interview or two. Everyone hates to see a train wreck, even as they deeply love to watch.
It remains to be seen whether the on-field product next season will measure up to everyone’s expectations, be they incredibly high or pessimistically low. Separating the actual gameplay from the surrounding circus will be our duty after toe meets leather, but I’m thinking about the people in that building even now.
