My vote is for Hill has past experience leading searches for the hiring of coaches
clt says this seems odd
As far as resume, I like that Phil Esten was at several different schools and had that exposure to different approaches, strategies, etc. Mike Hill was in the univ of Florida āfamilyā for sometime. Not to say thatās a bad family to learn in.
The resume can sometimes be deceptive. Maybe he was the guy pulling the trigger but maybe he was on a panel but really didnāt have the yes/no decision. āLed Search, Helped Hire and/or Managedā Who knows.
clt doesnt agree

Found a transcribed one though a bit dated.

No.
Hell to the no.

I donāt give a sh!t how qualified he may be or even how good he may beā¦I do not want ANYTHING Chapel Hill related anywhere near us. Chapel Hill has been the bane of our existence for our entire existence.
Just stop it. I will support no one with a background from Chapel Hill in any role within our athletic dept.
My promised returned support for the ousting Judy will go right back out the door.
Just for the damn principle of it all.
Seriously Philā¦a Chapel Hill grad!?
Suck my a$$!
Give the person a chance. Judge people by their actions.
Nope.
Not when it comes to Chapel Hill.
clt says the poll should be provided to the BOT.
Also, clt is offended that a CHeat is a finalist
I am not sure what people are looking for, but these look like two guys with successful backgrounds at P5 programs with big time football.
Hill is about 50, and Esten about 45, so they have been around long enough to do big things, but are young enough to understand that social media and data analytics are things.
Hill was involved in hiring Amanda Butler, so it is a safe bet they have had a long talk and he understands our opportunities and challenges. I like the idea that a candidate does, and finds us an attractive option.
Esten lists a lot of speaking engagements, and that is going to be key to making us a bigger part of the Charlotte community, especially the business community.
Jeff Mullins went to, and played for Duke, but I saw him go after their lunch money twice in Cameron like he was born wearing green. I donāt care if Hill went to Chapel Hill as long as he knows that I donāt care about Chapel Hill. Donāt bring that stuff in here.
I am sure that Turnkey feels like these are two candidates that can solve our problems, and I am trusting that process to produce good results. Just reading the resumes I lean towards Hill, but getting them on campus will probably be a lot more instructive.

We just fired an athletic director that spent her entire career in one environment.
I like that Esten has been exposed to how things are done at several large institutions. I also like that he seems to specialize in community engagement and fundraising. His resume just strikes me more as I want to be āthe guyā somewhere, while Hillās strikes me more as āIād like to be back home and this job looks like a comfortable place to beā.
I could be entirely off base, as I know nothing about either of these guys, but Esten just looks like a better hire to my eyes.
Iām good with Esten. Twitter feed says he gets it, the promotion side
Hill is a non starter.
(Sorry to normbulamce for not getting his permission to speak)
No.
Hell to the no.

Would you take Danny Morrison if he was a finalist?
