Joe has been good in his years and I hope the best for him and Mike. He started getting UNC some attention. Just some not great events the past few years. I hope the players we have will stay and BC will make a homerun hire. Someone can use the crazy amount of talent we have and make an immediate impact. Interesting timing since the portal closes very soon right? My main concern is filling positions of players that transferred out. Mainly setter position. Babic is solid but we need a backup setter. Hopefully a fast middle too.

We have a setter coming in next year - Zoe Behrendt. I'm not saying some backup wouldn't be helpful; however, we do have someone coming in. I really would like to add some quality passing, personally.

Interesting timing since the portal closes very soon right? Players get an opportunity to enter the portal outside the window if a Head Coach leaves. The only window that exists is the portal entry window. Kids in the portal can visit and choose their destination whenever.

Interesting timing since the portal closes very soon right? I could be wrong, but I believe the window is for when players need to ENTER the portal, but players can accept and announce a transfer after the window. So they could still acquire players after the window.

I was today years old when I learned that Sam Gore is a fellow UNC alum.

I really think that if the money is right, UNC will land a big name hire. UNC does offer a very good education, the utmost college experience, and has deep roots everywhere.
Would not surprised to see BOTH Tyler Adams and Eve Rackham Watt apply for the HC job. I do hate that some big names already went elsewhere since this vacancy was just posted. I do think a few B1G AC are looking for homes...
I too am wondering if any players leave or they wait to see who the new HC will be and of course the HC and player meetings once the keys pass. I do know that most of the girls love UNC not just for playing vball.

JS has been a gentleman and outstanding representative of UNC, but he was an adequate Ivey league coach who has underperformed at UNC! Look at PITT and LOUISVILLE! In a relatively short time programs have been elevated! UNC, should be ACC’s jewel and they sre not! School, conference, prestige, college life , all premiere in college sports; in that regard UNC (joe sagula) has under performed. He was at UNC before FSU, PITT, UL : and they all since recent coaches out performed UNC. They need to step up: go get a “coach” who lives up to schools potential: 4 year contract with auto renewal if meet performance goals and expectations of NCAA and top of conferemce every year: a Dean Smith kind of record.

How does the program support at UNC compare with the programs that have passed by UNC in recent years? Answer -- it's not even close. UNC has to decide if it wants to support the program at a *currently* serious level or not. The thread mentions that maybe Eve will come back. Maybe she will - I do not know. I do know that bringing her back would require at least doubling the UNC volleyball budget from its current level and that's just to get to Tennessee level.

I hope UNC can find a coach that can help the program get back to that 2014/2016 level. It's really sad to see what happened to this program since then and I know this program has the potential to be great.

Mike would be a fantastic hire! Why does someone (mike) go from assistant coach at penn state to clib director in North Carolina? And Eve: need a fresh start: a new culture! 💪🏽. A new view! No more : you should be honored we invited you for a visit. No transfers posting tweets about coach! Start looking for new breath of fresh air and thinking leadership? Recruiting: making UNC the east coast ACC crown jewel they should be: the stanford, the nebraska, of the ACC. You get my drift: pick any school that marches on and has a proud position of training elite players! Search UNC and be better than you have been!!
