Biff Poggi Fired

I’d totally forgotten he was Clay Helton’s brother.

But you have no clue how many of those positions were even compensated versus volunteer???

Just remember the University attempted to make $$$ off Biff’s cutoff T-Shirts.

Would think only ones who are ā€œvolunteerā€ are student assistants. Read an interesting piece not long ago focusing on college hoops about how team managers and the like are typically way over worked and mostly uncompensated - even for things like meals. Quite an eye opener.

Oh I know. I have one.

It’s such an odd time to be hiring a HC. So many schools still playing ball and unless this is a coach who is currently unemployed, you just have to wonder how this plays out. With Hill I have a feeling it may be another…

Actually not odd for all the reasons Hill stated at the presser. And not limited to unemployed candidates.

Still get the who vibes.

Gotta say, we have stepped it up with trying to remove the creases/wrinkles from the back drops. Credit given when credit due. We salute you.

Yes, you’re right. Honestly, speaking for myself, I have hardly paid attention to the assistant salary pool stuff since Biff came onboard. So even if the data is out there, I wasn’t following it.

I think I want skip holtz.

He has experience stabilizing programs, he has experience building programs. He’s run a diverse set of offensive schemes. His contacts on the defensive side of the ball are immense. He’s an excellent fund raiser, and one I think could do well with NIL. I just don’t see another realistic name that has the same name value that I think would offer legitimacy to our program.

It’s not an unfair report card I’m afraid to stay.

That would be great as long as he’s still got the fire.

Don’t want Pep. I would take Clark, Lamb or Bell off that list

Since Minter was brought up. Decided to check on him:

Campbell HC 2013 - 2023 (49-66)
Currently a D Analyst with Western Michigan.

I could get on board with Skip, for some reason I thought he was older than 60.
