I disagree. We’ve cut bait when it didn’t suit Mike.
Poggi was on track to have the second best season in school history and we fired him. He is sporadic, and unpredictable as an AD.
Please follow up with justifications like alumni didn’t like him or he wasn’t fully invested or whatever, but as I said, we were on track to have the second best season in history under him. We didn’t cut him because failure was clear. We cut him because we have a mercurial AD.
It’s futile. So many tolerate and accept the losing culture Mike Hill has referred to as the Gold Standard. They make excuses for Mike Hill and adore him, I guess because they think he’s their special friend.
Like Mike Hill just hired a new coach that is all about winning. Dude has not won a game at Charlotte yet, but the hire is enough to continue to defend and prop up Mike Hill and his Gold Standard garbage.
The hard and harsh reality is this: This season is the schedule most of us hoped and dreamed for when we didn’t yet have football. However, Mike Hill has positioned our football program to be flat out embarrassed this season as they will not be competitive against the vast majority of the schedule. It doesn’t matter who Mike Hill hired this time, Mike Hill has done nothing but set this season up for disaster and failure.
It could have and should have been much different if we had a competent athletic director instead of one that is full of excuses and with a hollow slogan. The tolerance of Mike Hill’s losing is what will continue to bring perpetual losing to football and basketball at Charlotte. Some appear to invested to acknowledge this.
We cut him, in part bc the guy was a jerk but it was also clear that he had no idea what he was doing and ran a toxic program. Also, with biff, we probably dont even win 5, we probably win 4.
Why will we not be successful against the vast majority of our schedule this season? Georgia i get but app has a new, unproven coach, as does carolina. Hill is not a good AD, i definitely agree but im not sure why albin cant be competitive this season
Ok, ok we get it 49ER9ER, Mean Joe and Central don’t like Hill. Move along. Nothing left to see here.
Dead horse, meet stick……
We fired him for reasons beyond on the field results.
As someone else said — Charlotte will tolerate losing but it won’t tolerate embarrassing the institution. Apparently Biff undermined and embarrassed the institution behind the scenes. He also did every time he sat his sloppy ass in front of a camera.
Don’t mistake this for a defense of Mike though, he’s awful. Nobody here disagrees.
We fired him because he was terrible. He was the absolute worst hire Mike has ever made and it’s not close and that’s saying something.
As far as I’m concerned hiring Biff was a justified firing for Mike. That’s how bad he was. For those that aren’t close to the program I don’t think you understand what a total disaster he was by nearly every metric. He was a walking ncaa and legal risk.
His winning percentage was in the .200, which is really bad.
Never going to pull it up to make it to the Gold Standard level of .400 
, no matter how many years we kept him around.
This whole topic (not specific to your post NN) is nothing but hearsay, unsubstantiated examples, and emotion. I don’t recall ever seeing one piece of documented evidence to corroborate any of these claims everyone has been saying. It’s a lot of: I’ve heard, someone said, apparently etc… Maybe what contributed to some of that “toxic” environment everyone likes to point to was because Biff was all over MH’s ass daily because he needed NIL money and MH doesn’t know how to get it. To me, that sounds more likely.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s over, ding dong the mean of Biff is dead
Sorry I didn’t wear a wire so then you could have proof. These are the things that if proof comes out then it’s a total disaster. The point is to move on before it gets to that stage.
You are right he wanted NIL directly from the school and AD which was against both NCAA regs and against state law and the idiot could not understand why we wouldn’t do it.
What could NWA possibly gain from making this up 
he’s been on here for decades and he would just make up things about a coach? But sure, let’s post documented facts of illegal things Biff did on an online forum that’s a really clever move. I’ve never seen such adamant defense of someone so undeserving
Apparently, the issue with Biff was more about him demanding more from the University. There is nothing wrong with exploring options and asking for ways to elevate our program. Other institutions do this daily. This has been erroneously changed into, Biff was trying to cheat.
Some universities, departments, and organizations do not like to be challenged. In other words, do not upset the status queue. We are comfortable with where we are. Either align with the current culture or get the heck out!
It appears Biff had to go. He was making too many uncomfortable with his demands to improve.
*illegal and against the rules demands
All while pissing off donors, not controlling his staff or players, trashing our fans, not actually doing his job, being a sloppy mess and losing often and by a lot
How dare we fire him.
I’d argue keeping him is exactly what you are complaining about.
I don’t give a shit one way or the other about Biff but I’ve never seen anyone with a .200 winning percentage defended so vigorously.
Funny thing is I’m arrogant enough to think I know what a good coach is and isn’t. Biff wasn’t, period. Sanchez, the kids couldn’t stand playing for him, you could see it. Our seats were right behind the bench. I saw it.
Healy has a chance but needs to realize he doesn’t need to be the kids best buddy, he needs to be the coach and the adult in the room.
Fearne can coach, we just don’t have much to coach I hate to say. That’s on him too I realize, he needs to get some guys that can ball.
clt asks who was our worst previous fb hc?
I agree with hootie’s takes on each of these coaching hires. Nail on head.
When did the biff train go off the rails? I know no one cares about Charlotte outside of these chat pages, but shouldn’t we have some inkling of what was happening behind the scenes by now. This sounds like there was extreme examples of negligence across the board and no one seems to know anything. I just assumed biff was in over his head and thought his ego was more than capable of running a program. But I keep hearing of major riffs with everyone he came across. Why is Mike Hill getting a pass for this?
I think mostly because he moved on from him pretty much as quickly as possible given there was no public scandal that provides cover to move sooner.
I really do believe Biff was Mike’s worst hire. Objectively a failure by just about any way to measure. He brought in some talent. Thats it. 6 FBS wins in 2 years. Only 3 wins at home with 2 of those being FCS games. The hire made no sense to start with and then just went down hill.
“Down hill”, I see what you inadvertently did there. Still funny. 
Even if everything being reported about Biff is accurate (and I don’t doubt it is) Hill is the one that hired him. It was evident Biff was rough around the edges but at the end of the day Hill decided it wasn’t a deal-breaker. It was a big risk hire and it failed.
Now that being said Albin checks all the boxes, if Hill hadn’t landed someone of his caliber I’d be much more upset at the Biff situation.
