Everyone should have a little of Hope and Faith, which are the names of two strippers down in Albuquerque. The AAC and the Master plan might as well be fantasy hope right now. Hill, Sanchez and Healy are living their best, easiest lives. Hill has some production. Healy had one year of production with an easy schedule and someone else’s players. Sanchez has been an absolute turd. I need to leave Charlotte. This entire town has been mismanaged for 20 years and so has our University Athletics Program.

Judy had a basketball program that was top notch handed to her by Jeff Mullins and ran it into the ground while leaving softball coaches on staff that should have been fired decades prior. Mike Hill inherited revenue programs at the bottom and just failed to elevate them. That’s the difference. Neither is good.
P.S. - if there are typos I apologize, I’ve been drinking HEAVILY since the game ended. No bueno for me.

From Mike’s bio on the official site:
“This is personal for me,” noted Hill, who grew up in Clemson, S.C., and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “This is home.”
I’m always skeptical of any person that attended that sham of an institution - I truly wonder if he’s getting paid money on the side to destroy the program so that it doesn’t exist.
Mike Hills future and legacy are not going to be determined by his hiring of Sanchez and Healy, both were good hires on paper, Healy was a bit more of a gamble, but his first choice was Mike Houston, which was also a good pick on paper, Hills tenure will be judged by how he deals with both of these misses, acknowledging that these coaching picks are misses, letting them go, and finding solid replacements
If we go 0-12 or 1-11 (very likely at this point) it will force Hill’s hand. I’m sad to say I’m looking forward to that outcome.

As someone on the interview committee - he grew up in Clemson and worked for for Florida from 1993 until 2018. You could hear it in his voice when we asked about it. If you had to rank things it would likely be Gator then Tiger then Heel.
If it hasnt worked out here, it has nothing to do with the Chapel Hill connection. Chapel Hill admin sure don’t want to help us, but we cant and shouldnt make them a boogy man when things don’t work out and we screwed things up on our own. I am curious what Gaber thinks though. She isn’t his hire.

Healy wasn’t a good hire on paper. It actually looked like a terrible hire and our fan base was largely unified in a wtf response until healy smooth talked us all and sold us on potential.
I grew to like the hire, and I still like him as a person, but it’s pretty clear he isn’t going to get it done here.

clt says lambert and Healy appear to be great guys
Maybe not record wise, but he was hired on as head coach of at the time, a school with the longest losing streak in the country at 29 games in a row, recruited a top 5 FCS class to a school with that background, and coached them to an 8-4 record in his second year, while recruiting the number 1 recruiting class in the country at the FCS level, it was a gamble because he was only at Austin Peay for three years and a losing record, but look beyond the Win/Loss record at the circumstances of what he did and where he did it, and it was a good hire on paper, an outstanding recruiter that can win with limited resources at a place with a lack of winning tradition

His step back there his last year possibly should have given us pause. Austin Peay made the playoffs the next year so I assumed he would have done the same but now I’m not so sure.
I do agree the overall record doesn’t really matter there because the program was so bad in the beginning.

Vote of no confidence from me. I don’t want this guy involved in hiring our future coaches.
Why has Charlotte not been successful in the most recent years?
It starts at the top. I do not believe it is attributable anywhere but the UNC Board of Governors and the UNC President.
We are nothing but a pawn in the UNC system. Demand more or let’s tap out!
clt says covid seems to have impacted Charlotte more than any other program.
Stop. It’s true the BOG doesn’t do us in favors, but stop blaming them for mess of our own making.

Ridiculous.
Has the BOG put their boot on App or A&T in the last few years?
We have no one to blame but ourselves our admin and some bad luck.
