We're getting turned down left and right and Jay Wright is one of the guys ready to jump on board? Somehow I doubt that.

4/4/2011 3:02:26 PM

if Wright had already agreed to a deal, we're dumb for making him wait so we could hear from Shaka Smart

fwiw, jay wright was at the 1983 replay at amedeo's yesterday

4/4/2011 3:06:41 PM

uh don't know what to think about this smart story

1. I'm not sure the media isn't just making stuff up

2. I don't know what choice smart was, he should have been 3rd or 4th or fifth choice, so either a bunch of coaches have already said no or yow is just as incompetent as fowler was so either way it's not a good sign but hopefully it's the latter which means there are still good smarter candidates like marshall, turgeon, and blaine taylor out there

4/4/2011 3:06:55 PM

although I would hate to even see him offered, the biggest kick to the nuts would be if marshall turns us down.

marshall is a better candidate than smart at this point

at least someone in the media is fighting for us

4/4/2011 3:09:48 PM

Maybe Shaka was Smart and we told him that he was our third choice and he did the Smart thing by accepting a extension with VCU...maybe we did the Smart thing and told him he was not the first choice and he was like....thanks, but no thanks then....

Where are you hearing this....b/c I would give up a testicle for Jay Wright at this point!

^that would suck, maybe Archie will be ready to take his place when he is fired in three years....

^^Then you would have none left....you gave the other one away for Lowe......

Well since we offered shaka I think the BD, RB, SM, JD, JW big name coaches can be out to bed for those holding onto hope.

not sure where the list is now with basically Gregggggggggggg the only one on it. maybe a left field hire.

I like the Coach of the week concept. go to handee hugo's sign up and you get to coach for a week. we'd save a lot of money.

One thing i do believe no matter who we get, and that the BEER taps should be opened. It's a win win. we lose i still have fun and State raises money.

4/4/2011 3:14:19 PM

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO....

PLEASE NO...


I was hoping we were going bargain shopping with shaka and now we were really gonna cough up the money

Haha, I will have to go back 6 years and check my posts, but I am pretty sure I didn't offer up a testicular donation for Coach Lowe.

So, in our private search, how many times have we been publicly rejected so far?

Smart, Pastner, and Miller...who else can't touch this?

4/4/2011 3:15:24 PM

Hodge and Archie turned us down also.....

4/4/2011 3:16:16 PM

that account only has 5 tweets, three of which are dedicated to a retarded april fools' joke.. i wouldn't believe this "source"

4/4/2011 3:16:18 PM

I hope we didn't offer 20M over 7 years for Gregg Marshall. I'd rather hire Coach Ferrell from Broughton High School (if he's still there) than pay that much for Marshall. Whoever we get I just hope the results are better than Lowe's....

I'm going to go with it's a fake twitter, but holy crap that's scary.

if Yow offers Gregg Marshall near 3 million a year, she is a goddamn idiot and should be fired immediately. That has got to be a joke.

4/4/2011 3:16:26 PM

that's pretty good news, especially if a lot of the posters on this thread are pissed it's def a good sign, although that is a little much for salary I admit; I'd also still like to hear if brey or turgeon were ever offered

4/4/2011 3:16:32 PM

2.8 million per year? Better hope he's good, because we won't be able to afford to fire him.

Also, FUCK Gary Williams.

4/4/2011 3:16:59 PM

I'm going to laugh if Greggg turns us down.

On the other hand, I might cry if he accepts.

4/4/2011 3:17:48 PM

...Why fuck Gary Williams?

I was referring to the self-esteem of NC State athletics...which there shouldn't be any of that left either.

4/4/2011 3:17:54 PM

i'm kinda surprised turgeon's name hasn't come up more. not sure if i really like him, but anything's an improvement, right?

Probably. Just repeating something I saw on the WSU board. Wouldn't surprise me if Yow's gotta go that high to get anyone on the D1 level though.

4/4/2011 3:18:59 PM

I think we might be looking for a FB coach after this season, Wilson is to O'Brien what Rivers was to Amato.....I got a feeling we will be in for a long long long season. I wonder how bad we have to be in order for O'Brien to be fired, 2 or 3 wins?

Shut up, that's both retarded and off topic

4/4/2011 3:20:02 PM

because Gary Williams might be the reason we end up with a shitty coach.

I mean he could scramble and make time but he wasn't the best qb in the world... and even he'll admit that.

That would make sense if State has already contacted Marshall and said we're going in a different direction, aka the Wright rumor is true.

4/4/2011 3:27:46 PM

Should've wrapped him up when we had a chance. No... we had to have the flavor of the month.
