The question is whether Ohio St or SC is the program to pick if you are a top HC. The answer: "From a purely hypothetical standpoint, the answer to the second question is pretty easy. It’s Ohio State. Look at the past 40 seasons. Ohio State has won at least nine games in 30 of those seasons and in 15 of the past 17. The Buckeyes don’t really drop off. They have a history of consistency—especially recently—that few programs can match. Much of the credit for that goes to Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel for taking the program to an even higher level, but the general consistency in the program goes back decades. That suggests an institutional commitment to winning, and that’s one of the biggest things coaches look for in a job."

The emphasis is mine. UNC has that institutional commitment to winning in basketball, and women's soccer and field hockey. UNC does not have that institutional commitment to winning in football - unless by 'winning' you mean an average of 6.5 games per year.

Institutional commitment in football = massive cheating

Everybody knows the Art Chansky article of faith. It is, of course, older than Art. It made certain Jim Hickey stayed far too long. It always opposed Dooley. It for Crum to be hired, and it loved Crum in his final years. It was never overly fond of Mack and made certain that UNC would react to the Texas offer far too slowly. It approved the hiring of Torbush and adamantly opposed any talk of hiring either Donnan or Richt. It loved Bunting and fought very hard to keep him as long as possible. It hated Butch and worked double overtime to see him gone. It hated the thought of Malzahn as much as it now would work to prevent Stoops or Leach from being hired. It was warm to Fedora and came to love him.
