Laugh track cued: B-A-D-dour has another hire to whiff on at UNC

Posted Nov 3, 2006

Dick Baddour is doing what he does worst -- hiring a coach -- which means the depressing North Carolina football program ought to be good for a few laughs over the next few months. Baddour is the UNC athletics director who screwed up the hiring of Roy Williams in 2000, screwed up the firing of Carl Torbush in 1999, then screwed up the hiring of Frank Beamer in 2000.
