Dennis Cox of 99.9 The Fan talks about UNC coach Mack Brown's comments on Wednesday toward NC State coach Dave Doeren.
But after that game that NC State beat UN C earlier this year to close out the regular season Dave Doran was on one He was feeling it he was feeling it and you know what He had every right too He had every right You know what like I just won nine games my team just won nine games Tell me nothing Exactly Just blew out your rival He's calling like hey he's rallying the rallying the troops get the collective get the cigar ready got the cigar in the bourbon ready to go Dave Dorn was feeling it He caught those guys in blue down the road North Carolina This pieces of Exactly By the way Matt Brown responded to that earlier today last ball game with a rival school after the game the the head coach of that school called our players a piece of and I apologize for that language but I've never heard something like that before and I I'm disappointed I thought it was classless It's not true Number one we didn't play well in the game We didn't coach well in the game It's been very well documented and I got that but you don't call kids a piece of And um I've addressed it with our team I apologize to them Uh these kids are one of the top academic groups in America They got an award for AFC A's top 13 Um they've won a coastal division They they've won a bunch of games They they've been to an orange bowl been to five straight bowls They represent us Well and from me speaking for them and their parents they really didn't appreciate being called a piece of never heard that before Um and and very very disappointing Ok a couple of things here one just go and say Dave Doran's name just say it like we know exactly what you're talking about Just say it like hey yeah Dave 01 of our rival schools and their head coach hey Dave Dorn at NC State said this just say it just say it now I also mhm This is what my gut is telling me on this that Dave wasn't calling the players that I think he was just referring to just the school as a whole you know but again it's not only just like looking at like hey you Cedric Ray you you know you know Drake May you Omari and Hampton you're a po si don't think he was doing that but I wish Matt Brown would actually just sit there and say yeah he said that I didn't like it and call Dave Doran's name out specifically say his name do it call him out I mean you're already doing it Don't be afraid to put his to say the name Everybody knows who you're talking about Exactly But maybe that's it Maybe or take the approach of you know what This guy ain't worthy of having his name in my mouth I ain't gonna say it But that that guy that coaches NC state down the road say something like that Ok Here's the thing I have no problem with programs or people talking trash None none whatsoever Dave Dorn did what he had to do to rally the troops to get the to get the transfers to come in to get the the the people to donate to the collectives to for the nil deals and all that kind of stuff No problem with that I also have no problem if UN C beats NC State this upcoming season in 2024 And Mac Brown steps up to the podium says who's the piece of bleep Now I had no problem with that Zero I have no problem with it this off season If Matt Brown calls him out again they see each other at the AC C kick off the AC C Media days in July and says hey Dave you suck I don't care do it I have no problem with it I have no problem with people talking their truth I have no problem with people keeping receipts None whatsoever You know what If you're a UN C player you take that personally You should You absolutely should And you know what And if you beat him next season at Keenan you walk right by their sideline and say hey who's the P OS now Coach No problem with that None whatsoever I love rivalries They're fun I mean here's the thing it's no different than what people post on X or in comment sections on youtube No different No different I know I get it I as someone who used to coach college sports did it full time for 99 years I get it You're supposed to you know you're you're a representative of your of your university There's something bigger than just yourself I totally get all that 100% get all of it I lived that life But if someone ever said something like that about my program I remembered it and I made sure I reminded them of it Next time I saw them especially after we beat them I reminded him of it I see him on the recruiting show I remind him of it I was that kind of guy a little bit and you know what if you're Mac Brown use it in your favor like hey you know what we do things with class here but there's there's ways you could spin this in your favor if you're Mac Brown can you just play the beginning part of that again I just want I wanna hear that again Here's Matt Brown earlier today last ball game with a rival school after the game the the head coach of that school called our players a piece of alright Stop right there again I just wish he would just say his name Just say it Yeah I know just say it
