Malzahn is so awesome that he's led Auburn to the 97th best offense in the country this year. Unless Cam Newton has some eligibility left, along with last year's senior-laden O-Line, I'm not sure this is going to work out all that well for UNC.

He had a top 10 offense when he was at the Univ of Tulsa, Arkansas, and Auburn. He's done well everywhere he's been.

The folks in Oxford are one step closer to panic mode. Its Mike Leach or bust for them now, if true.

damnit. thats who i think we should have gotten. dont get me wrong i like dooley but we need to move to the spread. runing the pro style works for tams like lsu and bama bc they have elite talent but tennessee cant compeate with talent of the other big boys in the conference....if we moved to the spread of a wild offense like arkansas then we could take average talent and score alot of points..look at texas tech and what they did with a run a gun offense...

we really need to consider the next coach to be a hreat offensive mind...

Very good pickup for the heels...Malzahn is going to be a good head coach I believe.

Except for maybe VT and FSU, the defenses in the ACC aren't nearly as quick as those in the SEC...so Malzahn's crazy schemes might work there even if he can't find a professional QB to run them this time.

Georgia Tech has done alright with a gimmicky offense in that league.

The triple option offense while not used as often, is anything but gimmicky....:unsure::ermm:

That was my point...there's about 4 teams out of 120 at the FBS level that run it consistently, and there were a lot of doubts that it would work in a BCS conference when Johnson got to GT. Option offenses hadn't been used in the so-called power conferences since their heyday in the 60's and 70's.

If you don't want to call it a gimmick, call it unique, unusual, different, tricky...whatever.

Not only no but He!! no. Are you crazy, without a Cam Newton or Timmy Tebow clone, no team running the spread will win the NC again.

Folks this is just a rumor. Nothing has been confirmed. People jump to conclusions way too quickly. UNC's AD has only been in office for a little more than a week.

Not sure how great the UNC job is, because football is an afterthought in Chapel Hill and the Triangle area in general. NC State's program has no excuse to be as terrible as they have been minus the Phillip Rivers years. ACC has gotten a lot better since Butch left with the foreseeable rises of Clemson and FSU's programs. It will be a lot harder for UNC to compete against three top fifteen/twenty programs (Va Tech, FSU, Clemson) and a two teams that has had UNC's number for years, Ga Tech and NC State. Also, UVA's program has made massive improvements in London's first year.

Yeah I'm not really sold on Malzahn thus far, but we'll see.

Right, which is why the Thread is titled "Rumor: Malzahn next coach at UNC..."

Then there's Twitter, which helped send Gus-to-UNC rumors to a new level this week. An alert Twitter follower of Malzahn's wife, Kristie, noticed that she had started following the mayor of Chapel Hill, N.C., the police department, the UNC student newspaper and other UNC-related feeds on her publicly viewable account.

Hardly overwhelming evidence, but enough to raise eyebrows.
