Clown’s picture is on the front page of the sports section here today. He has been interviewed on TV twice this week on WRAL sports. He is saying stupid things like “don’t think, act”, refers to himself as “the minister of mayhem” and we are “going to compete at an elite level”. They are going to play “with some swag, some juice.” I agree that teams he coaches will not think and a certain form of mayhem will ensue. He makes sure he is on camera and in print more than Mack Brown. He said his year away “has been wonderful for my career, wonderful for my soul.” I would add it has been wonderful for Georgia Tech. I hate that he will appear successful because the Tarheels play FSU, NC State, us and then nobody, with Minnesota their fourth hardest game.
I really don’t like the guy. Bill Lewis is closer to Dodd and Ross than Collins in the pantheon of Tech coaches in my opinion. The best thing about the article was YellowJacket turned Tarheel Nate McCollum said of Clown, “And he’s still crazy. You can tell him I said that.” Truth.
