Biff Is Gone

Unread post by appstate24 » Mon Nov 18, 2024 6:46 pm

Just saw Charlotte finally ended the Biff Poggi clown show. Honestly, with our struggles was hoping they would keep him around for another year.

EZU & UNCC have both made moves. Ramps up the pressure on Doug I would think.

GO APPS!!

I’ve grown to accept it isn’t happening this year, during or after the season. Just managing my expectations.

How dare you have expectations!

I’m disappointed UNCc is making an appropriate move.

It had to be more than results. You don't fire a coach after 1 year and 10 games because "results aren't there" when he's equalled his predecessor.

You can wear cut off tank tops if you win but if you're 65 years old and you lose, you probably get fired.

ECU, UNC, UNC & possibly NCSU will all be looking for new coaches...

We also will now be without an indoor practice facility next year

Well that didn't take long. He didn't even last 2 years. Surprised their whopping 10 fans had the juice to get their coach fired. Wonder what winner they will get this time around. If the AD that hired him is still there, they need to be replaced as well.

The Assembly typically does quality work but man, posting this puff piece on Biff three days before he gets fired is tough. Especially since they ignored him and his coaches issues with social media.

Clark is done. This is his last home game. They’ll let him finish out the year because he’s an App guy but the decision has been made from people that will write the checks.

Is this a guess or actual knowledge of the situation?

It’s going to be a long offseason if so.

If they made the right hire and we stay the current course the next five years could be painful vs. UNCC.

Not dissimilar to our performance vs. CCU since 2019, but that doesn't matter right.

If Clark is back for another year while other schools continue to make shifts to be better than just average, let alone mediocre, then I have to believe team/fan motivation and morale will be at an all-time low.

Staff may return , or they may not.I have no reason to believe however, at this date and time ,that a decision has been made.That may change Saturday . My read is that winning out gets another season , a losing season does not . To be clear ,I do not know what the decision makers and influencers are thinking ,but I do know what some of them are saying .
