Will more money = more wins??

Doesn't look like that is the case thus far.

Bobby Purcell really is the best in the business. I just hope that we don't lose him to some other more high profile university.

Fire Lee Fowler.

at first I felt a lot of wolfpack pride while reading that article, because we have the best in the business

but then I felt depressed and angry because we havent done shit with all the donations and support we've been getting

"One of those wealthy alums is Richard Vaughn, the chief executive of a North Carolina general contracting company. One afternoon in the summer of 2005, after lunch at a popular hangout across from the stadium, Mr. Purcell took the CEO to the football coaches' offices. As they stood over a conference room table, he unrolled an architectural rendering of a four-story building with the 51 luxury suites he wanted to build atop the stands on the stadium's west side. He'd asked the architect to create a rendering with "C. Richard Vaughn Towers" splashed across the building."

I think the author got his year wrong. He probably hit 5 when he meant to hit 2 on the numpad. the Vaughn Towers were being built in 2004, and they even had a sign saying something like "C. Richard Vaughn Towers coming in 2005" during the season. I think in 02 they were raising the money for the towers.
