UNC has bet the ranch on an NFL model going forward.

Perhaps DG also recognizes that a head coach with a lot of NFL experience is of great value in today’s environment.

You nailed it with this post.....

Every coach fails in Cleveland. Except Paul Brown and Blanton Collier way back. Belichek no different.

This is true. Ownership has a lot to do with who fails and the Browns have not had a real good owner in a long time.

I don’t like his easy hire with Clark which
maybe set us back 5 years. Let’s see how this season plays out.

That's a stretch. We still had some huge wins under Clark, including several ranked teams. His teams just weren't consistent enough.

Re: Clark, what’s done is done.

Regarding DLO: I’ve never been much of a Gillin fan. However, I truly respect Doug for recognizing the changing CFB landscape and understanding that App needed a forward-thinking coach to stay relevant moving forward.
