NFL coaching search, Carolina Hurricanes goalie issues, and UNC getting an uglier win than it should've been

North Carolina, like a lot of us on a cold, winter night, went to sleep a little early….

-They were in the process of blowing out Louisville, twice, but did enough to allow the Cardinals to hang around frittering away big leads.

-In the end, it was a comfortable, 17 point win.

-Make no mistake, the Cards are bad and the Heels are a FF caliber squad, so if you want to read into all of that, I think it’s a mistake.

-But, it’s a lesson at the least.

-Davis, 21-6-6 4/7 3s

-Bacot 19-7-5

-Jaylen Withers, 15-10 in 24 minutes

-Carolina shot 10/22 from deep and 48% overall with 19/29 assisted fgs….so?

-Cards shot it well, and if they didn’t commit some careless turnovers maybe we have a different story.

 Bacot had three blocks. He passed Warren Martin for fourth most by a Tar Heel with 191.

• Bacot passed Virginia’s Ralph Sampson for fourth all-time in ACC history in rebounds. Bacot has 1,5  

Bill Belichick is heading into his second interview with the Atlanta Falcons…

-Can’t decide if it’s more odd that he’s going in for a second interview or the state reasons why Atlanta is looked at as maybe the second best situation behind the Chargers.

-It’s an easier division to win.

-Excuse me?  

As expected, the Dallas Cowboys are staying the course and keeping Mike McCarthy as head coach.

-On one hand, they’ve won 12 games in each of the last 3 years and twice won the NFC East.

-On the other hand, they’ve not advanced past the divisional round and are 1-3 in the playoffs under McCarthy.

-But, Jerry Jones’ history has been patience when it comes to the head coaching spot.  Jason Garrett got 8 full seasons.

I don’t know what the Eagles will do.  I think there’s enough good from Nick Siriani to keep him, though the assistant coach drain might have been an issue this year.

-Decision-making was suboptimal Monday night

-But, coming out of their locker room now are comments about the switch of DCs mid-stream and how difficult it was to deal with.  Like having two marriages.

-That second one, especially since it made them worse, is the fireable offense.

Hurricanes back on the practice ice today….everyone but Pyotr Kochetkov (and Freddie Andersen, of course)

-Two more home games…
