“I learned a long time ago that you don’t have to go around using bad language and trying to hurt people to show how macho you are. That stuff won’t get you anywhere, it just shows lack of vocabulary and character.” Bobby Bowden
Saddened by the reports on the passing of Cedric Benson. We’ve coached a lot of tough players but none were tougher than Cedric. He was a true spirit. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family on this sad day.
Today is a sad day in the world of college football. Mike Leach was an innovative football mind, who kept us on our toes. I always enjoyed facing off with him over the years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family and friends during this difficult time. 🙏💙🙏
We did it. We were National Champions. We did it at Texas and we can do it at Carolina. We were a Top 5 program here before and we’re headed there now. It’s going to happen.

Have a ton going on but thinking about my friend, Mike. He was so much fun every minute of every day. He always made me think, then laugh, then think some more. He is missed. 🏴☠️
Hard to believe we lost Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the other people killed in the helicopter crash. Kobe was one of the greatest and most competitive athletes to ever play sports. My heart goes out to his wife, his three other daughters and the other families. So sad.
There’s been a lot of talk this week about our battles with FSU and Coach Bowden. I have so much respect for him. Glad to hear he’s out of the hospital and doing well.
Also, how about those shirts? 😱
We lost a great man today. Coach Bowden was one-of-a-kind and touched so many lives. I’m so fortunate to call him a mentor and friend. We send our condolences to all of his family and friends. A legend who will be dearly missed.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Sadly, we lost my younger brother Mel last week. He had not been well for some time, and while we’ll miss him dearly, we know he is in a better place.
Love you, brother. Rest easy.
💙🙏💙
The recent tragedies in Georgia and Minnesota are unacceptable. The violence has to stop. We talk about communication, trust and respect. There’s not much of that right now and it continues to tear us apart. Listen, learn, empathize. Let’s come together and change for the better.
Happy 29th Anniversary to my beautiful wife, the sweetest person I know. Thank you for always being there for me with your love, support and counsel. I love you, Sally.
Congratulations to Coach Williams on becoming Carolina basketball’s all-time winningest coach. An unbelievable accomplishment for such a great coach and man. Proud to call him my friend.
Congratulations to Coach Williams on this milestone. I was lucky enough to watch Coach Smith on his journey and now to be here when you matched his wins mark is really special. You should be really proud, my friend.
With tonight’s win over Yale, Roy Williams earned his 879th career win as a head coach, tying former UNC coach Dean Smith for fourth place all-time.

It’s a very sad day for Baseball and his many friends. We lost Augie this morning. He was one of a kind. A special man. He will be missed. RIP my friend!
Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since we lost Cedric Benson. Hard thinking about how we lost him but also helps us remember all of the good times we had with him. Miss you, Ced.
15 years ago today, we woke up as National Champions. So happy we could share that with Coach Royal.
Excited to be back on that path here at Carolina. Good times ahead.
It’s a sad day with the passing of our good friend Greg Robinson. He was a great man and a great coach. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. Rest easy, coach.
A huge shout out to our fans, especially the students, for creating an unbelievable atmosphere last night. It was so much fun. Let’s do it again this Saturday. 🩵🙏🩵
Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife Sally. She is an unbelievable partner, mother, grandmother and mom to all of our players. Hope you have a special day.

. Now, if the old man can school her up on the Ice Bowl and Lambeau Field, she'd have won even more.
What a blessing being in NYC with our guy
@VinceYoung10
. Never been a better person, player, leader and competitor. Congrats on going into the College Football Hall of Fame my friend!
I’m so excited. It’s GAME DAY!!
I wish our fans, and especially our players’ families, could be with us in the stadium, but we know you’ll be in your Carolina blue supporting us wherever you’re watching.
But now, it’s time to focus on one thing. Let’s light the bell tower!
On behalf of the Carolina football program, we want to send our condolences to the Bresee family during this difficult time. We're all sending our thoughts in prayers. 🙏💙🙏
Ella Bresee will continue to be a source of light and strength for this program and the entire Clemson community. Please join us in sending our love and support to Bryan and the Bresee family.

Sally and I are so saddened to learn of Edith Royal’s passing today. Ms. Edith was a shining light and the first lady of Texas football. She treated us so well and we were lucky to have her in our lives. She will be sorely missed. 🙏🩵🙏
What an unbelievable atmosphere in Kenan Stadium on Saturday, and really all year. Thank you so much to the fans. You’ve been great. And, our student section has been as good or better than any in the country. You’re making a difference and we truly appreciate it.

Congrats to two former players, 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan and Special Teams Coordinator Richard Hightower, on a great playoff win yesterday.
Good luck next weekend.
