Letās create a thread specific to the Coaching Search where we can post updates, suggestions, rumors, etcā¦ If you feel and it provides you some sort of therapeutic joy in continue to bash Biff, his dress, vacationing habits, appreciation for cookies, etcā¦ do it on the other thread. Itās getting hard to weed through.
Hereās an update. Things are going very poorly.
Biff really sucks
You take message boards too seriously.
NC State DC - Tony Gibson - NO THANKS
Arkansas OC - Bobby Petrino - NO THANKS
ex-West Virginia HC - Neal Brown - NO THANKS ?
Interim Charlotte HC - Tim Brewster - assumed Yes
Neal Brown gets an average of ~ $2.25 million per year for the next 4 years by sitting on his hands.
Gibson and Petrino receive ~1.5 per year as assistants
As long as the Arkansas HC doesnāt get fired Petrino is sitting pretty and can sail off into retirement.
I think Gibson is looking P5 similar to what Drinkwitz did. He may have to HC at a G5 but he is sitting pretty too
We have to go with an Albin, Bell, or Bill Clark type. I am content to promote Brew but only on a 2 year deal.
Albin is definitely the best option of anybody listed with us. Guy wpuld be a home run
clt suggests the deal is done and we are waiting until our new coach finishes coaching in a conference championship game
I wish it would be Albin. As someone has said, he would be a home run hireā¦ He has been my number one choice all along.
Itās like being at a Swiftie concert and sheās suppose to come on at 8pm and itās now 2am.
Itās over. Not fun any more. Everyone go home.
Donāt you mean Madonna, since that is literally her performance MO.
Take this, along with anything else right now, with a grain of salt.
What does that post mean?
What is the Gold Rush Report and who is running it?
Someone please explain to me why Albin is available?
Have there been reports heās looking?
Heās the MAC coach of the year.
Surely heās either looking at a raise or to try to go P4???
Am I missing something?
Must not be able to afford him. He needs a big contract in case heās fired after 2 seasons.
I didnāt know much about Albin until brought up on this board. Seems really solid and would be a great hire. I also see he is linked to the Purdue and WV openings as well, however it did say he was in the mix at charlotte as well.
Some have said they think Hill already has a coach signed and sealed and is only waiting until they finish their Conf Championship games this weekend. That would be great if that is the case but I donāt see how logistically that is possible. These coaches are getting their teams ready for their biggest game of the year, practicing daily etcā¦ Hill had discussions and got turned down on Monday and possibly Tue from candidates. When was there time for a new coach to give up a day or two with their teams this week, come to charlotte, meet with Hill, tour the facility etcā¦ agree on terms of a deal, Wife come to charlotte and look around etcā¦ Plus we would have to get approval from their current employer to talk to them, if under contract. Not enough time
The bigger issue is the transfer portal opens on Monday. Key players like Purdie, Blake and key starters, will enter the portal because itās in their best interest to, could start receiving offers immediately. Your best recruiter Brew, who could possibly help retain players or attract others from the portal, knows heās not getting the head coaching job. Itās hard to see him staying invested in CLTās success and help push kids over the line here. Sucks to be Mike Hill
Apparently he wants purdue job but sounds like hes not their first option
