Why he might be annoying:

    He sustained multiple knee injuries as a player, which prevented him from turning pro.
    He was a nomad in the college coaching ranks.
    He went 2-20 in his first couple seasons of his first stint with UNC.
    He once turned down the head coaching job at the University of Oklahoma.
    He was dubbed 'Coach February' at Texas as a result of his success with recruiting, but not being able to take a talented roster to a National Championship game.
    He drew fire from college football pundits after he made a statement that came off as trying to lobby his team to play in the Rose Bowl (2004).
    He came out of retirement to do a second stint as the head coach of the UNC football team.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a three-sport athlete in high school, before exclusively pursuing football full-time.
    He served as the interim athletic director at Tulane, following the aftermath of a point shaving scandal involving the men's basketball team.
    He was credited with reviving interest in both the football programs at UNC and Texas.
    Despite working for the rival school, he and his wife helped initiate a blood drive with all proceeds going towards the injured students in the Texas A&M Aggie Bonfire collapse (1999).
    He guided Texas to the school's first NCAA National Championship in 34 years (2005).
    He was the first head coach in the history of the Texas football program to record 200 career wins.
