Wake Forest assistant insults UNC on Twitter, deletes tweet

National Signing Day can certainly bring out those competitive juices in coaches. A tweet sent by Wake Forest tight ends and special teams coach Adam Scheier is a prime example of that.

Scheier fired off this feisty tweet on Wednesday and aimed it squarely at North Carolina, Wake’s in-state and ACC rival.

Scheier, of course, is referring to the academic scandal that has permeated at North Carolina over the past few seasons. Not surprisingly, Scheier’s hot take was deleted pretty quickly after it was sent.

A few hours later, Scheier went with a familiar excuse.

Ah, the infamous Twitter hacker strikes again!

For those keeping score at home, Wake Forest’s 2015 class is ranked 11th in the ACC and 52nd nationally, according to Rivals while North Carolina’s 2015 class is ranked fifth in the ACC and 27th nationally.
