So is UNC better off without Fedora?

I guess the real question is what kind of team does UNC want to be?

If they want to be 8-4 most seasons with a chance at a Coastal Championship, then Fedora should do just fine.

If they want to be better than that and actually challenge for national championships, then Fedora might not be the answer.

So maybe it is time to say, “Farewell Fedora”. If he doesn’t leave this season, he may not have a choice next year.
