There was an article on ninerreport.com that interviewed Mike Minter and discussed the head coaching position at UNC Charlotte. Minter has been campaigning pretty hard lately for the head coaching position and apparently he has been approached by Dan Morgan and Al Wallace to be a part of his staff. Article also mentions assistants from Nebraska and Miami that have contacted him with interest in joining him.

The article is subscription only, so I thought I'd share since it's something that would otherwise go unnoticed to many here.

Minter doesn't have much coaching experience yet, but he has done a fine job so far on the high school level. He built a program from nothing into a state power at it's level. If nothing else he seems to have some star power interested in accompanying him. It would certainly bring more interest and attention to the program.

He said on the radio last week that if he were hired he'd donate half his salary back to the school. How many people are you going to find to do that? I say bring him in now.

I've heard Fulmer's name thrown around as well, but he would likely command a much higher price tag than Minter. Charlotte isn't exactly rolling in money. If we were, we would have had football long ago.

I wouldn't be opposed to a Fulmer hire however if the price is right. Minter could still be brought on as a positions coach or assistant head coach. I think we should tap former Panther plays as much as possible to draw in as much interest for the program as possible.

i thought that had something to do with the main fund(some lady i don't remember the name of, but her name is on a building) having a stipulation in it that uncc couldn't have football because it is a barbaric sport. maybe what i heard was wrong.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
