Mike Minter at rotary tonight

Recommended Posts

My local rotary had a banquet tonight. Guest speaker was Mike Minter. He gave an inspirational speech about defining and pursuing your dream. He talked about his life and how his dream of playing football took him from Oklahoma as a small child all the way to Charlotte playing for the Panthers.

He did answer some questions about football. Given he does some post game radio and is tied into the Panthers he pretty much towed the party line that the youth movement was a good thing and necessary although he will miss his friends and buddies.

He did say that Vick will never be here, said Richardson will never bring him here due to character issues. He also said Moore was the guy and that no big name will be brought in to compete or be the starter. He said McNabb wasn't coming either. Then he answered questions about his foundation and business ventures.

So if he still knows the pulse of the Panthers, there you go.

Mike Minter for HC in 2011...? lol

He did talk about coaching but not for the Panthers. He has been lobbying hard to be the first coach of the UNCC football team when it starts. He said he wants it bad. He also talked about the private school he coached this year in Concord to a perfect record and state championship.

    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
