So…how did everyone spend their very normal, non-eventful bye week? 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell and Michael Koh dig into how UNC football’s was anything but on the outside, with a variety of reports published about the atmosphere in the locker room and how Bill Belichick’s staff has been conducting business in Chapel Hill. They discuss whether they buy the messaging pivot from the program and welcome on Andrew Jones of TarHeel274 to share some of his reporting about discontent around the program. Plus: a What In Tar-Nation caller who asks for the next head coach, a ticket giveaway, and a preview of *actual* football UNC will play on Friday at Cal — including how the Bears could be unpredictable.
Listeners can call 919-240-6000 to leave voicemails for the show after the Tar Heels’ game vs. Cal. Those who do may be featured in “What In Tar-Nation?!” on the next edition of “The Carolina Football Hour,” which is Monday, Oct. 20.
