Agreed. But changing coaches now is more reactive than proactive.beardevil39 said:

You're an idiot, just like the rest of this staff and program. This hasn't been a loosing culture until this staff arrived and in 3 years you losers have managed to loose more than Downings last 3 years! Talk about a loosing culture, thats called going backwards! Common sense ain't too common for you and your friends, "ignorance is bliss" should be on the back of the coaches shirts this year! Bottom line is they're are scared to fire this guy and that guy is scared to hire a better staff! good luck! Talk to y'all when they hire a real staff.

Having had experience at every level of this game the one thing I can point to from experience is that in order for a HC to be successful, it is critical for a HC to have his players to both "like" and "respect" him. This extends to how his staff feels about him as well. The higher the level of play, the more the pendulum swings in favor of the respect side. But make no mistake, both items are important in order for a coach to get his team to (1) play together as a unit and (2) buy into the program.
Unfortunately Collins falls short in both of these areas. The core of his team does not particularly like or respect him. One can point to the fact that by all accounts, the team that took the field this year was a "better" more "experienced" team than the one that ended the 2012 season yet not only posted a worse record in the win/loss column but also fell short of picking up where they left off after the 2012 campaign.
So the question is why did this happen? The answer can be found in the inability of this HC and corresponding staff to take the program to the next level. Unless there are some MAJOR changes in the way the program is run either by this staff or another one, there is no way it can be said this program is moving forward!
The definition of insanity is to keep doing things the same way with the expectation of a different result. My suggestion to this board and the fans of UNC football is to not be crazy! Demand change in one way or another or expect a continued decline.

I totally agree with you and have already put a bug in the new AD's ear and hope a lot of other people do to ! Let's not settle for mediocrity people and we are not even at the mediocrity level !

Klonkikebear and Playerparent are obviously a firm in their opinions. Fortunately they can't hire, fire, recruit or coach on behalf of UNC. Klondikebear is bitter because he is tired of watching his team lose. Playerparent acts as if his son is not getting playing time. They both are negative towards the program every chance they get which helps nothing. This is supposed to be a fan forum. Not a whining forum. If you are a UNC fan you should support the program. Not complain, call names and point figures like little kids. I am a fan. I support the new AD, Coach Collins, and the rest of the programs. That's what fans do. Like I said before, fans don't hire, fire, recruit or coach. We watch. Plain and simple. We all have opinions. Yours or mine however have no real impact on the program. I suggest that you either support the program, or find a new one.

I disagree. Fans vote for or against a program every time they attend (or don't attend) a game or every time they donate money. UNC is not like the insane Nebraska boosters that have more power than any fan group should but at some point fans have enough with the direction of the team. It doesn't mean they don't root for UNC and hurt when they lose.
I think fans have to have a place to vent and this place makes as much sense as any as a place to vent. Hell, there is even someone in the basketball forum that wants Hill fired. It seems insane to me but to each their own.

I agree Brian ! McCandyman, you are pissing me off. I and many others on here support this program more than you will ever know! This forum is a great place for fans to have some fun and lively discussions! Don't try to stop people from voicing their concerns. Thank goodness there are a bunch of fans talking on here . It shows we all give a crap about our Team. ! Go BearsBrian said:

Now that I've got everyone else pissed off, hopefully you can see what it's like to have someone say some crap that you don't agree with. Beardevil39, I'm glad I pissed you off. I get pissed off too when I here some of the feeble mined rants on this forum. My opinion may be different than yours, but it doesn't mean that it is wrong. Your opinion is equally valuable, but I have the right to speak up if I disagree, just as you do when you disagree with me. I just wish there were more positive posts on this forum. Bottom line, I support the program too. I guess at the end of the day, we both just wants what is best for program.

There are examples of coaches out there that have done this poorly in their third year and ultimatly turned things around but unfortunatly for every one of those there are a dozen that never got better.
I just hate to lose another season while this new AD figures out this guy aint getting it done.
I just see no reason at all to expect anything but terrible next season, there wasn't even a glimmer of hope this year to indicate that. This team packed it up and quit after the Pueblo game. At least under Downing we were underfuned in scholarships and you could argue that we were building out of the transition but that's no longer the case.
Of the programs that have moved up with or after UNC who has done the worst, UC Davis, NDSU, SDSU, SD, ND, Central Arkansas.... the answer is obvious...

When you give up an average of 31 points per game in a season, its going to be hard to keep your job anywhere.
