One of the great disservices to the history of this nation is when they started painting the state solid red and solid blue. I live in North Carolina, the state's purple. Go back and look at the election results and go back. When I was growing up, we always had, you had Terry Sanford, you had Jesse Helms, right? We had two Republican governors in my entire life in North Carolina.

The reality is, is that it's a purple state. But when I go to Manhattan,

Everybody thinks it's not. The truth is in the middle. It's always been in the middle. And those who live in the middle usually end up making it work. At the very least, go in the middle and have a conversation. But it's just, man, I can't believe I'm talking about this.

No, it's fine. But I think that's the answer to your question. The answer to your question is how do – how does an old gray-headed coach who makes 12 million dollars a year talk about serious fundamental issues with a room full of kids who most of them come from very, very backgrounds and those things. I think that's it.

I think you walk into the door with an open mind and have those conversations. If you can't do that, then you probably shouldn't be.

Well, my take is a bigger take on Tar Heel football. And I wrote this column when Belichick was named head coach because I have literally lived in North Carolina my entire life except for I spent two years, my last two years of high school were in South Carolina, barely over the state line, and when I went to school in Tennessee. I was born in North Carolina, buried in North Carolina.

I am half a century old, and in my lifetime, North Carolina has won one ACC championship. My dad started officiating ACC football in 1981 and retired in 2009 and never saw North Carolina win an ACC championship football. So when I wrote my column when Belichick got the job, I said, it's going to be interesting to see how

Chapel Hill manages to take arguably the greatest coach in the history of the NFL and turn it into a solid 8-4 Gator Bowl season. That's what they're going to do. They're going to go to the Mayo Bowl. And what I didn't see coming was all this. Now, they might get into the season, and they might roll, and it might not matter.
