Do any former Bobcats on the Charlotte roster (Taylor, for one) return to Ohio?

Nah, we just asked you for examples. We stopped listening when it became clear you wouldn't provide them.

talk about work environments... our now former football coach is lagging in Charlotte and has all but completely evaporated the buzz with students, alumni and boosters he was afforded coming in. Local media is giving the program limited attention - there is expected massive portal transfer out - which may be a good thing given the talent level but many are ones brought in - and he acknowledges he can't swing and miss this year.

The equation hasn't changed - the survival games for Albin will be App State and ECU next year - win one or at least be highly competitive in both or he will be on very thin ice (and we don't react well to ice down here).

Funny, a HC is suspended and you have no details, but that’s doesn’t make it less true.

There are lots you fail to understand. We are used to it.

Ask the former AD what Albin's first contract was? Four years with the ability of the AD to review after the second season? Do you think the womens hoops coach got that kind of contract? We all know the answer to that. She treated Albin way differently than other employees. Instead of rewarding him for a job well done, she treated him worse than a mediocre womens hoops coach and a mens basketball coach who consitently ended up as a five or third seed. I'm not foing to get into the baseball coaching job she mishandled.

Because some things are personal and as important as you believe you are, there are reasons people do not tell everything.

Your right to know does not supersede privacy of others. I get you feel important, but you’re really not.

You should ask any employee what they thought about working with Russ Eisenstein before you go any deeper.

You lose all credibility with "Do you think Prez Nellis would have made that mistake?" You do realize he was removed by the BOT due to incompetence, right?

You recently divulged the root of your (and Albin's) anger about the AD: Albin's original contract. Yep, he was put on a VERY short leash...for multiple reasons. First, the AD and Frank had an agreement that he would give her at least a year's notice of his retirement. Instead, Frank and Timmy pulled a quick one - essentially 2 months' notice - to ensure she had no choice but to elevate Albin to the position.

I got to know Julie a bit simply by speaking with her at events, and found that if I asked a politically delicate question she would provide a frank answer. She explained that after Solich pulled his trick, she spoke to 3-4 well regarded ADs at large universities. Her approach to the first Albin contract was based entirely on their recommendations.

It's no secret that she and other members of the department - not to mention the folks in Cutler Hall - were unimpressed with Albin. He is not articulate, particularly thoughtful, and apparently acted as though the job should be given to him without any vetting. And so he and his agent were unhappy with the first contract and also unhappy that she forced him to work with a public speaking consultant. Timmy was even more unhappy when she dictated staffing changes following the disastrous first year. She was in charge of a valuable asset and was not going to squander it. Turns out her approach worked.

And, for the last time, I will explain her renewal of Bob Boldon. In reviewing the condition of the women's program, she and other staffers interviewed multiple former players, dating all the way back to the 1990s. These individuals, with few exceptions, told horror stories about their experiences in Athens. They hated their coaches. They remained angry about the lack of support provided by the department. The ONLY positive feedback came from those who played for Bob Boldon. They said he cared about them, valued their skills and wanted them to have positive experiences both on and off the court. Given this, and coupled with the fact that his worst W-L records can be attributed to a freakish string of injuries, she decided he deserved a renewal. There was no big raise, nor was there anything secret about it. IMO, it was absolutely the right decision.

As for all the men whom you claim were treated poorly by her, Julie's long-term strategy was to outsource ticket sales/management. Therefore, why would she up the salary of the ticket manager? As for Russ Eisenstein, it's pretty well established that he was not exactly a team player within the department. Perhaps some of his attitude was due to his inability to rise to a higher-profile gig. Whatever the reason, for the good of the department and to continue to develop young talent, it was time for Russ to go. She didn't fire him; he made the decision based on dollars and cents.

This is all very in support of the long running theory that everyone’s favorite poster and his friends are just misogynistic. Entitlement and not liking when women tell them things aren’t going to go the exact way they want.
