    The guy is a program builder. He built Miami back, and was working on UNC. Though he got caught up.

    That's what longevitity in college coaching amounts to. Winning, and not geting caught doing dirt. All of these guys are doing dirt, but you need web of fully loyal underlings. People who will not turn you in.

    Glad I've found another to share in my misery of the Panthers this upcoming season. Living in Colorado atm, Bronco fukks are driving me nuts here with Fox running the show.

    Poor Denver, Fox will bring is boring ass football to the Broncos. Run the ball hope you get a lead early then lay down and pray you can hold on.

    When you employ the Black Santa aka John Blake on your staff, NCAA violations and a pink slip will soon follow.

    I'm surprised they made this move now right before the season. I figured they would at least try to ride out this year and then re-evaluate in 2012. Strange.

    I wish these clowns would get fired in January so the programs have a chance to recover.

    Davis is a top-tier coach by my numbers.

    UNC will go back to being a mediocre to crappy program (again) unfortunately.

    They really had no choice after this past year. I think he did a great job with that program, besides all the trouble he got talent.

    Terrible timing. From the time the scandal started I had no doubt he would end up being fired. But I can't believe they let him hang on until the start of the season and let him go. Dick Baddour needs to be fired as well. He is incompetent.

    Yep, well they are really done now. Good luck on getting another decent coach to take a flyer.

    Unless UNC stumbles on a Frank Beamer type of coach they will never be a top tier football school. The committment of the university is not there and never has been. Any up and coming coach will use it as a stepping stone just like Davis would have done in 2-3 years if not for the scandal.
