Lowe had to much success at the end of last year.Everyone thought they were fine.

I don't mind playing in front of such a raucous crowd, but not against ECU. The fans can stand losing to like St. Joe's, St. Louis, or some other A-10 Conference like foe, but they will never forget losing to ECU for the first time ever. UNC isn't running out to play @ ECU's high school gym, but they didn't mind playing at Penn.

We should give Charlie Cobb a call and see if he wants out of Boone and to turn around our horrid athletics....
2/28/2008 2:02:31 AM
I'm assuming that he is a UNC grad/fan that is purposely ruining our athletics programs. Either him or his boss.

Where else in the world can you completely suck at your job (compared to other similarly situated athletic directors), never improve anything besides buildings of which a large portion of the money was raised by Bobby Purcell, get paid over a quarter million PER YEAR, make terrible hiring decisions like not hiring a consultant for the basketball search, call your alumni lunatics, refuse to assume any blame ever, set your goals at mediocrity, and spend weeks on end at your lake house?I am all for giving Lowe more time because he has been thrown into the fire. It's obvious he is under incredible stress and I hope that he can pull his shit together. Please Fire Fowler and hire me so that I can too sit on my ass all the time, make poor planning decisions, get bailed out by the Wolfpack Club, and collect a little over a quarter million per year. It sounds like my dream job, almost like winning the lottery. Tons of cash and no responsibility or accountability.

I honestly feel bad for Sidney Lowe..........Fowler had ruled him out of the search from the beginning and was a complete failure with every single coach he courted throughout the search. Lowe tried to help Fowler and give him suggestions and tips and in the end Lowe finished his degree and dropped his NBA career just to coach here. Lowe was Fowler's absolute last ditch effort after failing hard leading his abysmal 'I know basketball' coaching search.Lowe very well may have been thrown in over his head here having only coached NBA players and systems, which is worlds different than college ball. I know Lowe is frustrated and can't seem to make anything happen, (see his resorting to publicly calling out/blaming his own players for this abortion of a season) and while that is unacceptable, he is not the biggest problem with our athletics at all.If Lowe goes, Fowler should be leading the way out the door. Our facilities, fanbase, and donor support are way too good for these absolute shit results we've been having for years now.[Edited on February 28, 2008 at 9:35 AM. Reason : ]

I am starting to realize that the woes of our athletics reach far beyond the coaching of Sidney Lowe.If Tom O' Brien does succeed it will not be to Lee Fowler's credibility since someone else found TOB for him.Sidney Lowe as like-able as he is might turn out to be the most disastrous hire ever if the team keeps playing like this.But it is Fowler's fault we are in this situation in the first place. Look at Rick Barnes (5th in the nation) and Calipari (2nd in the nation) who Fowler could have potentially hired. I guess we're never going to get a hold of a high level coach with Fowler in charge.
2/28/2008 12:30:37 PM
^ Les Robinson was the worst hire ever. Outside of Kelvin Sampson.Seriously though
2/28/2008 12:43:24 PM

hahaha so when oblinger(or whoever does it) fails in his AD search and get rejected a bunch we can move the 'FIRE _____' one more notch up the totem pole
