FUCK He was my favorite coach

10/22/2006 9:13:15 PM

10/22/2006 9:17:14 PM

is it just me or did Baddour say a couple weeks ago that Bunting would not be fired?

How is he your favorite coach? Two wins against State in two years.

10/22/2006 9:22:13 PM

baddour said he would not be fired during the season IIRC

10/22/2006 9:22:45 PM

OMG I HEARD BILL COWHER WAS TAKING HIS PLACE

10/22/2006 9:25:47 PM

Now, FIRE CHUCK

10/22/2006 9:25:54 PM

and Paulus's status is?????

10/22/2006 9:45:24 PM

NC State has missed a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to further themselves at the expense of a shitty UNC football team. While UNC has pretty much sucked for the past few years and is now stationed at the bottom of the ACC, we have failed to take advantage and rise above them in the ACC. We have lost to them in the past two years and have not ran roughshot in recruiting North Carolina like we should have.

There's no saying who their next coach will be, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a solid hire. What a missed opportunity.

10/22/2006 9:59:03 PM

its the leadoff story on news 14, if anyone's interested

10/22/2006 9:59:17 PM

he only makes 286k? isn't that a bit low regardless of how shitty he is?

10/22/2006 10:00:35 PM

fucking bullshit, now they only have one reason to play - us.


we can't win shit.

10/22/2006 10:07:34 PM

what is so sad is that this situation is a crystal ball for lee fowler if he would open his eyes and not let us sink to where the tarholes are right now.

10/22/2006 10:10:05 PM

^^^ I thought the same thing, but buying out the rest of his years will be a sweet lump sum for him.

10/22/2006 10:26:25 PM

so what does this do to their recruiting? does anyone get released from LOI's? do we have scholarships for any O-line recruits they might have ?

10/22/2006 10:39:42 PM

people only go play football for UNC because they have a good basketball team. Thats why buntings players always get kicked off the team for smoking dope and sucking cock


we dont want their recruits if thats what you're getting at.

[Edited on October 22, 2006 at 10:43 PM. Reason : thats allowed over there]

10/22/2006 10:43:03 PM

Reporter - "Coach Bunting, do you know of any programs that might want a terrible coach to take over their programs?"


Bunting - "...




























EVERYBODY is gonna want a terrible coach. Everybody in the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRLLD!!"

10/22/2006 10:43:39 PM

This will fire the team up and they will beat us.

Isn't our game senior night for them and Bunting's last home game?

10/22/2006 10:48:13 PM

roughshod*

10/22/2006 11:07:08 PM

^^^ i loled

10/22/2006 11:49:32 PM

They're going to go for Bill Cower

Kind of strange that they told him he was fired mid season. From their perspective you would think that they would at least wait until the end of the season. What's left to motivate the players and the coaching staff? Nothing I hope.

Tough call for me. I love what Bunting has done with the program over the past few years but I don't love how he has found a way to beat us with even the crappiest of teams.

signing day isn't until Feb. All that has happened so far is recruits have said they are going to go there. They can open their recruiting back up and chose to go somewhere else if they want.

10/23/2006 7:41:29 AM

just what i was wondering. i dont keep up with the logistics of recruiting too much.

if they were playing with any motivation during the season i sure haven't seen it. the team will either fight tooth and nail, or they'll just continue to give up. either way it will only result in 1 or 2 more wins at the most

10/23/2006 8:39:35 AM

Regarding the earlier post about their bigtime QB recruit, Mike Paulus, he said he will wait and talk to school officials.

Which basically means he wants to see who the next guy might be. If they go and hire Paul Johnson he will go elsewhere b/c he is a throwing qb.

10/23/2006 8:46:45 AM

UNC is going to have to shell out a lot more money than they did for bunting to get PJ - he makes over a mil a year all said and done at USNA

10/23/2006 9:37:49 AM

Bunting might make 286K form the university in base salary, but after his coaches show and other endorsements, and maybe some appearances, he makes close to a million I would bet. For the Ram's club to come up with $$, it wouldn't be a question of could they, it's do they want to invest in their football program.

state law only allows universities to pay coaches a certain amount
funny that the general assembly bent the rules so the Walmart Nation could buy Roy

10/23/2006 11:56:12 AM

i really am gonna miss this guy. somehow he got a winning record off of us didn't he?

10/23/2006 12:23:04 PM

Sweet.

All they have to do is hire a semi decent football coach and we won't beat them in football either.

10/23/2006 12:37:46 PM

so what if UNC runs the board and wins out
i know it is impossible but they have

Wake
Notre Dame
GT
NCSU
Duke

TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL
What do you say to a coach that they fire mid-season and then goes undefeated the rest of the season

10/23/2006 12:38:29 PM

Thanks, bye?
My bad, c-ya?

I can see them dropping three and winning two though. Guess which two

10/23/2006 12:44:49 PM

He is supposed to have a press conference I was told.

Anyone got a link or time it will be on?

I heard a old rascist in Mitch's joking about Bill Cowher coming and coaching at UNC. That would be hilarious and retarded.

10/23/2006 1:23:40 PM

^I'd fucking shoot myself if he did that.
