“Embarrassing. Shocking”: North Carolina football stunned after JMU routs Tar Heels, 70-50
Sep 22, 2024 at 07:07 am
Mack Brown's hat hit the floor. After a Bryson Nesbit basket catch was ruled incomplete with 10 minutes left in the second quarter, the coach took off his Carolina blue hat. He threw it to the turf, his headset falling off.
North Carolina football’s defensive woes continued on Saturday in a 70-50 loss to James Madison.
After a Bryson Nesbit basket catch was ruled incomplete with 10 minutes left in the second quarter, Mack Brown took off his Carolina blue hat and threw it to the turf.
“Embarrassing day,” Brown said after the loss. “Shocking day. You shouldn’t be at North Carolina and lose to a Group of Five team. Period. There are no excuses.”
The Tar Heels (3-1) now have the worst defensive record in Power Five football this season, allowing 340 yards per game.
North Carolina’s defensive woes are a systemic, pervasive issue. Saturday is yet another indication that no matter the transfers brought in, the top recruits plucked from across the Southeast or the latest defensive coordinator peddling his snake oil schemes, the Tar Heels haven’t been able to build a reliable defense over the course of a decade.
Despite Brown’s return in 2019, which energized a Tar Heel fan base left weary from a combined 5-18 record over two seasons, the defense has continued to struggle.
The last time UNC gave up 70 points was in 2014, in a blowout loss to ECU. That began a lengthy, treacherous fall that many consider to be one of the worst defensive seasons in program history. The defensive coaching staff turned over, and Gene Chizik came and went (for the first time).
“We just didn’t communicate,” Brown said. “I don’t know why. I have no idea what happened … we had guys in the wrong place. I thought after the first drive they got frustrated and started trying to do too much.”
The defensive coordinator position has been a revolving door under Brown, who replaced Jay Bateman with Chizik, and then Chizik with Geoff Collins.
Former Tar Heel great Dre Bly reeled in numerous blue-chip recruits as a cornerbacks coach but failed to develop that talent. Defensive line coach Tim Cross — who left with Chizik in January — struggled to discipline his players, according to sources close to the program.
“You know, we weren’t very good on defense when we got here,” Brown said in January, speaking at the introductory press conference for Collins and defensive line coach Ted Monachino. “We were really good on offense and a lot of the offensive players have been drafted. So we continue to get better defensive players. Jay Bateman just got the defensive coordinator job at Texas A&M so sometimes it’s just the circumstances.”
Despite a variety of circumstances, schemes and personnel shifts, the outcome for the Tar Heels’ defense has remained steadily disappointing.
