I believe we have the potential to be a VERY good football program. We have shown that potential in the past. Jim Carlen and Joe Morrison showed the way. Carlen was fired due to a combination of a personal scandal and a crooked egotistical University head. Morrison died. Holtz and Spurrier showed that potential again. But both were at the end of their careers. None of those 4 were Dabo Swinney-type strong recruiters. That was not their strength nor what they were known for. They were good X's and O's coaches who excelled at game strategy and tactics. Those are the kinds of coaches who have had success at Carolina. The recruiter extraordinaires (Bell, Woods, Scott and Muschamp) were all unmitigated failures and fired.
So regardless of NIL and our handicap with that, we can succeed if our Head Coach is of the Carlen/Morrison/Holtz/Spurrier model....a Head Coach who excels at X's and O's. Thus, my question: Does Beamer have the "coaching chops"? His Dad did. But Shane may be more his mother's son. I suppose we will find out over the next 1-2 years.
