Tough Schedule Shouldn't Change UNC Football's Expectations

There has to be dramatic improvement from UNC Football's 4-8 record last year. Now that you’re playing a legitimate schedule, you still have to be better than 6-6 if you want to win the fan base back after what happened last year. If you can go 7-5, 8-4 against this schedule, there’s going to be a lot of hope for 2027 because it gives the Tar Heels momentum. (Inside Carolina)

Plenty of Quarterback Options for UNC Offensive Coordinator Bobby Petrino

From watching UNC's quarterbacks in spring practice, there are a lot of options. Freshman Travis Burgess needs to put on weight, which will come, but he’s got a big arm and there’s a reason the coaching staff really liked him. Miles O'Neil, another really big arm. Billy Edwards Jr, he’s battled some injuries throughout his time, but he’s a savvy player. (Inside Carolina)

Chansky’s Notebook: Draft Dodgers?

Bill Belichick and Michael Malone have the same dilemma: neither has any draft picks. After his first season as a college football coach, Belichick did not have anyone drafted by the NFL. New basketball coach Michael Malone has some nice players coming from the transfer portal. But at this point, none of them is a surefire first-round NBA Draft pick. (Chapelboro.com)

Expected Benchmarks For UNC Basketball And Football

UNC didn’t bring Bill Belichick in to go 6-6. Next year, eight wins may be a high bar. But beyond that, expectations ramp up because the significant money pushed into football. In basketball, Sweet 16 every year may be too high a bar in the current landscape, but you should be able to field a team every few years capable of winning a national championship.
