I'd like to hear your opinion of the area.

I have been contacted about a contract to hire position there, and am unsure of the area. I know it has UNC Pembroke close by, but that is all. I have generally not heard anything good. Not really any bad though so I come to the huddle where theres always someone to say something bad about anything.

So are the schools crappy? Is the night life non-existent? Would you rather drive around this area of the state as opposed to through it?

pretty sure it got its name from combining the words Lumbee and town. its close to fayetville

James R. Jordan, Sr., the father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was murdered on July 23, 1993, at a rest stop off Interstate 95 near Lumberton.

thats a definite strike against the area

i don't know B. I just looked at info on wiki, and according to it...the average household may not be able to afford a computer. They may never see the thread.

Yeah, you have a point...

I'm only a little familiar with the area... aside from traveling through there on occasion, I have done a little business with Robeson County and dealt with some of their county employees and spent a little time there in downtown Lumberton. It's not a bad little town, but like I said, you're used to Wilmington, and it's by no means a metropolis, but there's a pretty big difference between the two.

LIAR!! Random drunk guy at the bar came up to me on sat tapped me on the shoulder and told me Jordan's dad was still alive I said "ok thanks for sharing" he continued to ramble on about how changed his face and Michael paid for it. Pretty sure it was Venom talking to me.

its sounding like I don't want to be full time for this place. may have to contract for them though until they offer the job IF it makes sense. meaning they'd have to cover living expenses. rules of unemployment pretty much obligate me to.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
