Mark Price Let Go -- FIRED

[quote=ā€œ49r9r, post:20, topic:31266ā€][quote=ā€œNugget, post:19, topic:31266ā€]This seems reactionary to me, like Rose and Dubois completely misjudged the reaction they were going to get on the Lambert decision but felt like that was now a done deal, so they swung this pendulum to the opposite side and have misjudged the appropriate action here too.

This has to send a confusing message to any coaches that we might want to hire–do we pull the trigger on getting rid of you too slow, or too fast? I know I am confused.[/quote]

Does this mean you have now jumped on the FireJudyAndPhil bandwagon?[/quote]
This means that I disagreed with the decision to keep Lambert, and I don’t understand the decision to fire Price at this point in the season. If Judy feels that Fancher can turn it around and win more games maybe this makes sense, but if we don’t win more then what is the point? I said last March that I suspected Judy would retire after the Exponential Campaign came to a successful conclusion and I still believe that. The bandwagon is going to make her life miserable, but I do not think it will change the outcome, so no, I will not be tilting at this particular windmill.

This may very well be true. But she has made a large portion of each our lives miserable. So if that’s all we accomplish, it will be worth it in my opinion.

Don’t see the point of not letting him finish out the season, unless there were other issues that couldn’t wait. Wonder if we’ll ever find out. May have been players coming to complain to the administration?

It does seem like there’s serious issues with the team. Upperclassmen have obviously played poorly. But you’d hope that there’s more to it than just observing their play to take such a drastic action.

So we spiral down a little further now. Time for someone new to pick the next coach.

Just heard this. A complete miscalculation that will result in a worse team this year and another horrible Judy Rose hire. This is a disaster.

When I thought it couldn’t get worse it does.

This is a nightmare people.

It seems extremely likely that Jon Davis will leave.

Possible Davis is transferring mid season? Maybe that triggered this?

Another incomprehensible knee-jerk reaction from our AD. Just proving our point. She has no clue how to run a successful AD. Wheels are coming off- she’s taken a hold of the rope and is now hanging herself with it.

She should have fired his staff and retained him. I though that was our process.

Yes this is a NIGHTMARE! My wife and I have been a season ticket holders in basketball since ā€œ78ā€ and football since inception.This is about football and basketball. We are in far worse shape than the Hal Wissell years, because this is MORE than just a coach! This is mismanagement of athletics by the Athletic Dept. and the Chancellor allowing it to happen. We will not be able to attract a respectable coach in any sport with these two people in place. Coaches need to have confidence that they have the full support of the AD and the Chancellor, and that won’t happen with Judy and Dubois. The trickle down effect is trying to recruit in this environment. Recruits want to know that the coach that recruits them will be around for their time at Charlotte. It will take us several years to recover from what is now taking place. I feel bad for our athletes. Do you want Judy making our next hire in basketball or football?

I’m starting to doubt if our athletic department reads this board.

My doubts are the result of my doubting whether or not the people making decisions about our athletics programs can read.

Mark price wanted out of this Sh*tstorm. Plain and simple. He can pick up the phone and be back in the nba in a second. Rose must be next to go!

Not true. He said he was very surprised.

If that’s the case Rose has zero idea what she’s doing. She’s saving her own neck at this point.

Wow! This is pretty shocking considering pretty much no one was complaining hard about Price. What a dumpster fire the Athletic Department is in.

Sad day for Charlotte alumni. Watching Rose completely dismantle our Athletics Department. If there was ever a time to rise up and take her down, NOW IS THE TIME!

good one!

Mark Price was quoted as saying he was told they believed he had lost some players. What are the chances Jon Davis requested a transfer BEFORE Price was fired and this was Judy’s response, trying to keep one of the best players we’ve had in a while?

Are they giving Fancher a mini interview before deciding on next years coach?

Price should have been fired but only feel bad since Hudson on team. Otherwise the high salary should have high expectations so it’s business. I almost like doing it now rather than the end of the year to get ahead.

Guys on WFNZ are talking about the Price firing and basically ridiculing our Athletic Department and Judy Rose. Good times!
