He’s been around football. And he hasn’t forgotten. He wanted to spend time with his daughters before they graduated and that’s what he did. Mack just might, he knows him well and good coaches.
He inherited a train wreck of talent and defense at UNC. In 2014 UNC ranked 120th giving up 40 points a game. In the first year with Chizik the UNC defense moved to 42nd overall and shaved off 16 points per game. That’s including the Baylor fiasco which again was on Fedora. In 2016 UNC was 43rd overall and the same scoring wise.
In 2017 Chizik is gone and UNC is 88th overall and allowing 8 more points per game. In 2018 UNC is 106th overall and allowing over 11 more points a game.
Just saying the guy is damn good and we’d be more than fortunate to have him. And he’s worked with Garner
DeLusionNeerThe only time that bum did anything whatsoever was when he coached Cam Newton.

Why are so many hung up on has been in Knoxville? For the life of me....He has a cushy job as a FB analyst on the SECNW. No way he leaves that, especially to come to the train wreck of TN FB right now. I really wish they would hire a DC so this DC nomination process will end. I even saw a post suggesting Chavis! Please Mr. White, hire someone and stop the madness!!!
A good summary.According to the numbers I found, his UNC defenses ranked #96 in 2015, and #63 in 2016. That's a long ways from the #42 and #43 you claim. My numbers came from the NCAA. Where'd you find yours?
FYI, having the #63 defense on an ACC team would most likely come in ranked even lower against an SEC schedule, especially when you play UF, UGA, and Bama every year. And if he was that good, why hasn't another team picked him up in the last 4 years? Maybe he wasn't ready to get back in to coaching just yet. Maybe the right job wasn't there. Who knows? In any event, Butch Jones found another coaching gig quicker than Chizik did / has.
If Chizik is your guy, fine. To each their own. As for me, I think Chizik is past both his prime and his peak. We need a rising star, not a fading veteran of the game. His time has come, and passed. He has a good gig with the SECN, his NC trophy, and the never-to-be-told secrets of how Cam Newton ended up on the Plains. He should cherish them all.
Now, can we get serious about finding the right DC?
Go Vols.

Only way it will happen is if every minority Defensive coach turns us down.Let's make it happen.
