Biff Poggi Fired

And none of that changes the fact that our overall budget is right in line with our peers. Even if the majority of it comes from students financing away their future.

We just have totally inept leadership.

As long as whoever we hire has HC experience and has won and is a ā€œfootball guyā€ I’ll be pleased.

Which one of these coaches has a solid Associate/Assistant AD?

We need a packaged deal, new head coach and new AD. If they have a track record of working together and being successful, that is what we need.

A man of many dialects:

Don’t know a lot about him but Mike Jacob’s seems like a solid football coach

His head coaching records shows the correct progression. Would be ideal if he was 1 year deeper at Mercer with the same kind of uptick.

I’m still concerned though about the NIL factor. I think we will lose all or most of our NIL money, so being a good coach isn’t enough.

At the time of firing, the strength of schedule versus teams we played, not counting the two remaining games, which Poggi will not coach, the SOS is 31 out of 133.

2015 - 121 of 128
2016 - 116 of128
2017- 106 of 130
2018 - 93 of 130
2019 - 111 of 130
2020 - 123 of 127
2021 - 125 of 130
2022 - 116 of 131

This----its all in how the $$$ is reported and which group is ā€œcreditedā€ for it.

After learning about this guy I’m absolutely intrigued and would love to see his name appear as a potential candidate…head coaching experience (with consistent winning seasons)…good coaching age, ties to good recruiting grounds, etc.

I am very intrigued with Willie Simmons and Jerry Mack.

My opinion on our next HC is worth nothing, just like y’all’s. But I will throw in that as someone that lives in the Mountains what Bell has done at WCU is pretty damn good. That place is a damn wasteland. To be .500 there isn’t something to be dismissed.

I agree with that. If we are looking at FCS coaches I’d like to learn more about Trei Oliver at NC Central. .621 winning percentage there. 7-3 this year, 9-3 last year, 10-2 year before that. I would assume he doesn’t have the resources as some of the other FCS programs either.

Not saying he’s who I’d go with, but someone to explore…

You guys check out Willie Simmons Asst. At Duke, played Qb at Clemson and was HC at a HBCU. Dude got a nice resume and from Florida so would have the recruiting thing going. Just sayn

Btw, is the Green RR for sale somewhere? like the color. Must of been special order.

clt says you can have any colour that you want

Exactly,:grin:, it takes way too long to get it built and delivered when you order bespoke!

The Green one has value!

Dont see Baltimore or Charlotte as RR cities…. There are very few cities where you can pull off a RR… Palm Beach, Atlanta in the south for example.
