Larry Fedora is quickly becoming one of the most popular coaches of the offseason.

The North Carolina boss’ latest funny episode has come at the expense of Florida State, which the Tar Heels beat Oct. 1 in Tallahassee.

The Heels won that game, of course, on a last-second 54-yard field goal by Nick Weiler, who celebrated by running across the field while doing the Seminoles’ famous tomahawk chop.

Weiler may have graduated, but he has apparently had no trouble finding a career after football, as Fedora has hired the kicker to be a security guard at Kenan Stadium.

And “kicker” is the appropriate term to describe the end of this clip, which will undoubtedly have #FSUTwitter in a frenzy.

A week ago, Fedora celebrated the sponsorship of Jordan Brand by creating a similar “This Is SportsCenter” style video, with the team mimicking Michael Jordan’s now-infamous “The Ceiling is the Roof” comment.

This isn’t the first time Weiler has had fun with the aforementioned winning kick, as he read mean tweets from Seminoles fans in the days after the 37-35 win.
