The OC Miller comes across like a random guy they plucked out of a keg party that says he plays a lot of Madden.

This little nugget was in an interview with Steve Spurrier today in the o. Very interesting. :flushed:

I am surprised we are interviewing the OC at Tulsa. Nothing against Tulsa or Spurrier Jr. but I would hope we are aiming a little higher than that. He was one of the coaches we beat this year.

It’s Spurrier’s son and Mike Hill is a Gator. That is all. Now, the son might be the second coming. Then again, I reference here Buddy Ryan. He produced some good coordinators but not a good Head Football Coach.

Still have confidence in Biff?
  • Yes, I want to see how we do next year before being too negative on Biff
  • No, there is enough evidence out there that makes me think this won’t end well

I knew he was a candidate…would have been interesting

I just wanted to bump this so everyone could see how the fanbase felt the day we hired him. It was not good.

It wasn’t hindsight. We knew.

It was a controversial hire. There’s no doubt about that.

This is the most accurate take of the bunch.

I do have a question. Usually, when a coach is fired after less than two years, it’s because of some specific incident, or because of a truly dismal record. As an example, in 2022, Kent State was 5-7. Kenni Burns took over and they went 1-11 in 2023, and followed that with 0-12 in 2024, so it came as no surprise when he was fired.

Charlotte, was 5-7 in 2021, then 3-9 in 2022. Then, under Poggi, they went 3-9 again, followed by 5-7. Granted, the final two wins were after his dismissal, but it wasn’t like Charlotte was totally falling off the deep end, and there clearly were a lot of talented players on the team. Was there some specific reason why the AD and/or fans believed the urgent and immediate action was necessary?

To put it nicely, he was not a “fit” with the Charlotte mentality! At the University or in the community. AND his record made it easy! CLT want’s to win!!!

He was an absolutely abysmal coach, who clashed with his bosses, criticized fans publicly. His DC publicly threatened the job of someone on stsff on twitter bc their brother criticized the staff on twitter(sorry, poorly worded on my part). The culture was atrocious. The guy was a clown.

He thought and acted like he was bigger than the program and pissed off too many people in the administration and big doners (and potential doners) to the program

Bad coach. An ass to donors. Couldn’t control staff or players. Terrible disciplinarian. Advocating for taking actions against NC funding rules.

All around a glorified HS coach that believed his own shit and in way over his head.
