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.

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
