I remember a handful of you guys trying to put Hubert on the hot seat after last year.

 

Look at Hubert got this team as a #1 seed. Duke can get all the top recruits they want. One thing for sure the best HC in the state of North Carolina is Hubert MF'n Davis!

Hubert did an awful job last year. He's been MUCH better this year. I really think it was hard for him with Love and RJ. They're both great college players but they're not good running mates. It's tough with two shoot first guards who feel like they're competing for shots. When the shots are falling it can really work but when they aren't it's ugly. I just didn't like how he refused to develop or play a bench. That's been the big improvement this year. He's not running his starting five into the ground. Tired players aren't good players.

The roster wasn't that great last year and Caleb was a big reason why our offense couldn't function at a high level. I was the happiest guy when I saw he transferred to Arizona. The guy just takes wild shots. When he's hot he is great, but when he's off my goodness he kills the team.


We simply brought in smarter high IQ players this year. The biggest difference is RJ. I didn't think he had the ability to be one of the top scorers in the country. He's been a reliable scoring option.

 

As for Hubert is was never realistic for him to be on the hotseat. Sure he had a down year, but the man had us in the Nat'l championship game the year before in his 1st season! We got a damn good coach.

Hubert is one of my all-time favorite players. He and Pete Chilcutt are my earliest remembered favorite players. He just couldn't figure it out with RJ and Love. Hell, Roy couldn't either. Great players just not a good pairing on the same roster. 

I'll always love Caleb Love though. He or RJ one had to go but I'll always remember him for handling K his last two losses and carrying us to the title game. If we don't win it all this year I hope he does.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By strato · Posted

      considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. There’s not much room to slide backwards from an 8-9 season and 13-21 overall record. It doesn’t help that his primary job has been the development of quarterback Bryce Young, and the progress there has been inconsistent. Canales was supposed to turn the former top pick into a franchise quarterback. If that doesn’t happen by next January, the Panthers could be looking for both a new coach and quarterback." —————- The format of that doesn’t display on my iPad I had to paste it as plain text to see it so I am leaving it here to refer to… I am gonna disagree with a lot of that.  First reference is Tepper. That interview posted here a few days back gave me the impression that he is really happy with his FO. And Canales. Seat isn’t even warm as of right now. IMO.  The assertion that Canales is supposed to turn Young into a franchise QB is something I have never bought. First, how could anyone look at 2023Bryce and see a can’t miss Franchise player?  He was for sure a could miss.  I am not sure it was fix Bryce or you are both gone. Maybe that will happen The longer it drags on, I think maybe the more likely a total house cleaning could be an outcome. I mean it is only year 3 of Canales coming up. But as a couple of people like to point out, he has shown other concerning flaws that might damage his stock.  As far as the hot seat, mid season with 2-3 wins I would imagine yeah it would be pretty warm. I think a small regression to say 7 or maybe even 6 wins would be tolerated but the seat is warm for 2027. Depends on the circumstances.

      This damn play is shown as one of the worst sports plays of the year on a Canadian sports channel on repeat. The reminder on a weekly basis keeps me from being too happy with our playoff appearance.
