Been away awhile also; but read religiously. More fun to read after wins versus losses.
WCU 1980 grad; but both kids ran with the Pack and are now contributing members of society. Grateful.
My wife and I try to catch the Wake game in W-S every other year as we live in Lexington. Last year we arrived at BB&T early to tail gate and intentionally pulled into a space next to current Wolfpack students. We love to be around the young people that enjoy football as we do. We had some beers, talked current classes/majors (engineering like my son), life on campus and the current head football coach. One young man was a serious fan and as a student had been to a “meet Dave Doeren” function. He said it was more of a meet and greet than a question and answer session. I know head coaches are busy and important; but he said Doeren was very standoffish, gruff, and really acted like he wanted to be anywhere but there.
My point is – win some lose some…. but keep the people happy and everything will hopefully work out. These points have been made above; but I wanted to share experience from one of his current “customers”. If nothing else Cut and Dabo do have personality.
Lastly as I mentioned above I am a Catamount first. We didn’t win every game but…… Bob Waters coached the football Catamounts for 20 football seasons (1969 through 1988), and performed the dual role of athletic director from 1971–1986.according to Western Carolina, “the evolution and success of the school’s athletic programs, especially its football program, during that period can be attributed largely to his talents and personality” bold and italics mine.

Agree with JG87
Started with Dean. Provided kids with opportunities to play, participate, be part of a family ( a WAY if you will ). He did take care of his “kids”. Even bought them dinner upon passing. This will be the new model. They were ahead of their time.
Talked to a co-worker today and wondered if some screws started coming loose when the Hells hired Matt Doherty. Not trying to besmirch him, they done him wrong, just part of the dysfunctional family way. He kept quiet, just wonder what he knows.
Lastly, waiting for UNX to use the old George Castanza defense….. “was that wrong? If I had only known that was company policy, I wouldn’t have had sex with the cleaning lady on my desk”
