Then you're calling him a hater? Doesn't make any sense. You're trying to dismiss a valid opinion because it's different from your own. True story.

His reason is lack of success at UNC and average performance of the positions he coached at previous jobs.

He doesn't seem to recognize that Withers did a solid job holding down the fort at UNC. He was named interim coach at the end of July so he basically had 5 weeks as head coach before the season started. Not like he chose any of the players or had a chance to dictate scheme changes or anything like that.

He also doesn't acknowledge that being the head coach is a totally different job than being the defensive backs coach. It's two entirely different tasks to handle.

Of course he's entitled to opinion but he's posted it 200 times which to me either means he's hating just for the sake of hating on the new coach or he's butt hurt over DeFillipo not getting job. Whatever the reason is, it is on the unreasonable side to be bitching about the new coach before he even moves into his office, runs one practice, recruits one player, or finishes hiring his staff. Let's see what the guy does and more importantly how he performs in games over the next 3-4 years.

When didn't I acknowledge any of those things. I only responded to the 200 post that spoke about him when he was hired. I never started a thread on this board and never will. People were complaining about candidates before they were hired , I did none of that. To say a person isn't good for a job before he is even hired I would called hating. And if you thing I don't know the difference between a head coach and a secondary coach then your sadly mistaken. So I have to wait 3-4 years to critique a coach with 20 years of coaching experience .

Withers actually recruited a lot of those guys at UNC. And he is great at recruiting , but he is on paper a average coach. I listen to Colin Cowherd ever morning and he makes the same statements about hires and candidates as I did on the board , is he a hater also. Stop it , if you can come on here and state how great a person is , someone should have the option to state the opposite. If not , then this board should be only for affirmation.
