Mike Hill, aka: šŸ in training

Agreed. My only question is was he involved in hiring any of the coaches who won the NCs or were they inherited hires? Floridaā€™s football progam has been pretty bad recently.

Iā€™m happy we are getting a new AD and glad it wasnt someone internal. Also glad he seems to come from great pedigree. But I despise his UNC connection. Overall pretty excited to see where our athletics can go the next 2-3 years!

You have to wonder if Hill showed more interest in the job. Like Esten was using this as leverage. Also wonder what role Rose will have. Has to be a weird vibe knowing she will be around at the same time.

I think he was pretty influential in their bball hire after Donovan, White is the coach there, pretty damn good one.

Hill just beat Esten out. Time to go to work.

If he had anything to do with the Jim McElwain hire. We are in deep trouble

He was Chapel Hill, which means he will always be Chapel Hill, but Hill belongs to us now. Johnny Harris is Chapel Hill, and he gave us much football love. I would never trade away the support from Johnny Harris because he is also Chapel Hill. I just need to see real improvement and winning results. I am sick of Purgatory, or has this been Hell?

He might of been a bit of a headcase but he won games:

In addition to Harris being Chapel Hill, you can add the likes of Irwin Belk and Doug Orr.

For those unfamiliar with those names, the former sponsored the NC General Assembly bill that created UNCC and the latter was the Vice Chancellor who hired Jeff Mullins to resurrect the menā€™s basketball program following the failed Clyde Walker + Hal Wissel era.

iā€™m FSU and Duke. but i was greatly influenced (by being there) by the 49ers of 1970-85. well, not Hal.

so who do i go to on game-night? the niners on Live-Stats. :-X

so letā€™s drop it. testerstrone (however hyper-inflated, e.g., metro) does not make for super fan-hood.

i just hope we have a great AD. his undergraduate school has about as much to do with it as his choice of his first roller-skates.

Step 1 in the SECā€™s secret plan to take over the city of Charlotte: CHECK

Nah. This was forseeable. Itā€™s lukewarm. Not angry not excited. Phil was taking the UNC guyā€¦ Iā€™m cautiously optimistic but think itā€™s a mistake long term. Letā€™s see who he gets for hoops.[/quote]
My thoughts exactly.

Andy Kennedy would be very mindful of Michael Whiteā€™s opinion.

Mike king of the Hill

Think heā€™ll make a guest appearance tonight ???

[quote=ā€œninerJ, post:117, topic:32386ā€]Think heā€™ll make a guest appearance tonight ???[/quote] Iā€™m counting on it. Iā€™d rather he be making a few phone calls, but ya gotta get out with the rabble. (Thatā€™s us)

He needs to get out here shake a few hands, kiss a few babies gotta at least act like you care about mingling with fans

I doubt he is here, lets be real. He interviewed on Monday, flew home, was offered and accepted, and heā€™ll be back on Tuesday for the press conference. If you were him, would you want to come watch us play our last 1-2 games? :cool:
