Sucks it had to end that way, but it was time to move on. Looking forward to see who will be the next coach to win 7-8 games.
Holy snit! Fired? I honestly thought that could never happen. I'm sure they first must have urged him to retire. This actually makes me sad in a giddy sort of way. Hope springs eternal. PLEASE get us somebody good.
For a hot minute my excitement about Carolina fball rekindled. But then i hear people saying that Arthur Smith's dad could help add to the NIL coffers. So we're just chasing NIL $ as the most important thing in a team sport? Boo.
And this just kinda drives the nail in the coffin:
If NIL $ is more important than actual coaching and player dev then i'll find something better to watch.

if you're paying attention, you'll understand that what we are seeing is the dismantling of the amateur/student-athlete myth. It had to happen given the legalities involved, but I think those legalities are ill-founded. Doesn't matter, we are at the brink of semi-pro status and that probably won't be the end of the PROgression.
Given the current state of things, getting Smith on board might be just what we needed. Or probably not.
sure it's been a myth. NIL didn't DO that, but it begins to reveal the truth of the matter.. The S-A myth has been propped up by self-interested parties who benefitted from the pretense.. The U's, the athletes, and the fans. This is the dismantling of that myth, just as it says. NIL, as it is currently developing, is a big step toward acknowledging that 'student-athletes' are really just paid performers.
