@wthomassports The biggest advantage that Florida has, and maybe the most important one, is their conference. More revenue, better competition. How many SEC/Big 10 coaches are leaving for an ACC school?

Feels relevant enough to bring this up again: Todd Golden is not going to leave Florida.
North Carolina is about to open up when they fire Hubert Davis, and they figure to at least see if Golden picks up the phone.
But answer me this: What does UNC have that Florida doesn't? Why is Chapel Hill a better place to win today than Gainesville?
Spoiler: it isn't

@NonStopCarolina Are they a top 5 national program today? Not all time success, but programs as of right now.
English
@ClancyJohnathan No I don’t but to act like UNC has fallen off and out of blue blood status is asinine
English
UNC beat 3 of these teams this year and has more recent success
Duke hasn’t won a title since ‘15 or played for 1
Kentucky hasn’t won a title in 14 years, no final four in 11 years
Houston good regular seasons 1 final four
Kansas 1 title since 2008 due to a broken floor

"If North Carolina didn't have that logo, I'm not sure we'd be talking about them as a blue blood. ... I can make a case that they're not a top 5 current, relevant team in college basketball." —@RealJayWilliams on UNC men's basketball 👀

@NonStopCarolina You mean 2024. UNC misses the entire NCAA tournament in 2023.
Both of those Duke has done more recently, while UNC falters.
But legitimately, do you think Hubert should stay?
English
@ClancyJohnathan Last final four 2022 (should remember that well)
Last regular season title 2023 (should remember that well too)

@jordannhowelll I applaud your selective and facile reasoning.

Kentucky hasn’t sniffed a Final Four in a decade. Duke hasn’t won a F4 game in 11 years. Carolina won a natty and played for 3 in that span. Kansas’ only natty since 08 is thanks to a bouncy court. And Carolina beat all three of them this year. But we knew Jason was dumb.

@NonStopCarolina When was your last final 4? Last Elite 8?
Last time you missed the tournament?
Last ACC tournament championship?
Last acc regular season championship?
Last NPOY? Last ACC POY?
Last 10 game win streak?
Only one of us has declined an invite to the NIT in the last 5 years
English
@ClancyJohnathan Show me the last national title Duke played for
English
@jordannhowelll Now compare UNC’s last 5 years with the previous 5 years.
English
@will_doran Do you think Hubert could lead them to 3 national title appearances in the next 10 years?
English
UNC has made it to the national championship 3 times in the last decade. Nobody else can match that. Only two other schools have been twice. And Jay Williams’ school hasn’t been at all!

@Chicken_1981 @tatefrazier You’re right. My bad.
Point still stands. 1 sweet 16 i. 5 years is not blue blood status.
English
@ClancyJohnathan @tatefrazier That’s a lie they went to the second weekend when they made the sweet 16 3 seasons ago
English
Carolina beat Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas this season, has reached a national championship game and won one more recently than Duke and Kentucky, and holds the records for most NCAA tournament wins and Final Four appearances

@kevSumner @tatefrazier Put another way, Hubert had 1 good run 4 years ago. How long will they live off that? It was a magical run. Devastating for me, a Duke fan. But nothing since then.
English
@ClancyJohnathan @tatefrazier 4 years ago they were in the championship game

@Armandoavenu3 Aside from 1 stretch for 3 months in 2022, Carolina has been mid. 1 recruit and wins against Kentucky and Kansas who also lost in the first weekend doesn’t make unc the bell of the ball. They are the Man U of college basketball l, big has been program
English
UNC beat each one of the blue bloods this year
UNC has been to a title more recently than all but one blue blood
UNC is bringing in a top 10 recruit for the 3rd straight year despite the standard not being where it’s supposed to lately.
Stop the nonsense.

@RossMartinNC I have wondered how much conferences have to do with quality of a job. So how many coaches in the big ten /Sec leave their school for North Carolina? Or would leave for any ACC school?
