Similarly Baker was in HS when we got him, but he hadn't had the chance to prove himself in the SEC. Once he got one he capitalized and gained enough respect to get the Bama job. Deke spent 3 years in the SEC- if he was an above average SEC DL coach why did it take 4 years after SC to get another SEC job offer?
Of course all of y'all are all still right, this could end up being a great hire. There's no doubt good coaches can be overlooked. It's just we only have 2 explanations: 1) He's not an SEC level coach and everyone but us knows it, or 2) He's a good coach and nobody but us knows. Of course nobody but us thought Shoop or Grantham was an SEC level DC, so 2) certainly isn't out of the question. I'll just stay neutral on him till we get on field results
I don't think any of us know enough about the guy to judge his career path post USC. What if he had family considerations that made staying in the Carolinas more important than the profile of the job?
I know a D1 position coach who after losing a HC gig has made all his career choices about his family and not his career path.

LOL... just goes back to the discussion about naming 3-4 DL in the whole NCAA. Just hire an experienced DL guy that can recruit!

Random note..Deke's son was a first rounder in the MLB draft out of high school last year. He signed with the Angels for 4.1 million.

So you're saying North Carolina just happen to not retain Deke after his son skipped college for the Angels? Hmm....
