Houston just isn't a good coach and firing Ruffin was a mistake. They weren't great under him, but played better than they have since he was let go.

Houston's resume speaks to his ability as a coach, and "not good" isn't what it says.

However, the lack of results at ECU over the last couple years are fair game for criticism and unless they can pull together 7-8 wins, it's probably curtains for their pairing. I'm glad he didn't go to UNCC, though.

Coaching is a results oriented job. Houston's results at ECU over the last six years show that he's not good.

I dont ever want to know hate that deep to be comparing a coach to trump. Lol 

they are salesman/showman with an over fixation on personal brands.   Don't let politics blind the comparison.  The politics of one or the other is irrelevant here.  It's a good fair comparison that I didn't invent.  You can google that. 

who essentially lives an every day reality show? 

who is fixated on personal brand? 

who demands the oxygen and eyeballs of everyone? 

who is more fixated on the salesmanship vs the substance? 

who thinks the media should be his ally or villainizes them? 

who is in charge of an operation yet fixated on cosmetic/PR aspects? 

who has nepotism as the foundation of their operation? 

and then now today....

Turning three smaller schools into title contenders says otherwise. Your mind is made up, that's fine, and I said that his results haven't been good enough at ECU. But if they pull out 8 wins, he's likely still there despite your feelings.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
