UNC football went into Week 4 of the college football season undefeated and feeling good. It took just one quarter in the home game with James Madison for the Tar Heels to lose that feeling.
Despite bouncing back and forth with some key mistakes on the Heels side, the first quarter was only a 25-14 game. However, the second quarter is where all hope was thrown out of the window as JMU scored 28 points to UNC’s seven in the quarter leading 53-21 at the break.
To add to the mayhem, North Carolina didn’t produce any player for the media after the game and reports swirled after the postgame talk in the locker room of Mack Brown’s status as the head coach at UNC going forward.
With all that emotion and commotion in the air, North Carolina was on top of USA Today’s College Football Misery Index after Week 4.
It’s sad and uncomfortable and uncouth to talk about so bluntly, but even a beloved Hall of Famer like Brown reaches a point where it no longer makes sense to run a college football program that is trying to win at the highest level. Losing in such an awful fashion to James Madison will supercharge that conversation. And that’s why North Carolina is No. 1 in the Misery Index, a weekly measurement of which fan bases are feeling the most angst.
Bubba Cunningham and North Carolina will have decisions moving forward, but foremost of the conversation, Mack Brown needs to find a way to get back on the winning side as the team goes back on the road against a good Duke team to open up ACC play.
