Why if we had any chance of getting Wright would we wait this long to hear from SS?

Makes no sense. If GM turns us down too this will be coaching search nightmare number 2

4/4/2011 3:30:04 PM

It certainly can't turn out worse than it did last time.

4/4/2011 3:30:55 PM

^ Haha, just wait.

4/4/2011 3:31:35 PM

$$ maybe? I dunno, just reporting what i'm hearing.

The Smart deal was around 2 million/year base.

4/4/2011 3:31:35 PM

So assuming the Wright rumors are baseless (no reason to think otherwise), and that Marshall's "special announcement" is that he is staying @WSU, who would be our other existing offer? Lonergan? Brey? Cronin?

4/4/2011 3:34:45 PM

4/4/2011 3:34:53 PM

Lonergan is all we have left.

4/4/2011 3:35:12 PM

Collins or Wojo

4/4/2011 3:35:52 PM

Yes it can turn out worse and this is N.C. State sooo.....

4/4/2011 3:35:55 PM

Towe?

Maybe Marshall has been passed up for the job since the other candidate was formally offered and has accepted, and he wants to get his word out that he is heroically staying to support his shitty school (aka removing his name from NC State) before NC State names the coach.

At least nobody on this board is stupid enough to think about offering Bobby Knight.

We've got all of Div II and III left guys, come on.

4/4/2011 3:37:11 PM

nah I'm pretty sure somebody's mentioned Knight somewhere in these 120 pages

4/4/2011 3:37:13 PM

i repeat... i'd pay bob knight a couple million in hopes he hits roy williams with a chair.... he doesn't even have to win a game in the acc... just hit roy with a chair...

4/4/2011 3:37:48 PM

Cronin is staying with Cincinnati.

Seth Davis reported the Pastner "offer" and was immediately put in his place by Yow. He is a stooge with a lot of resources.

4/4/2011 3:39:12 PM

Ok i'm not an AD but in the interests of saving money for the other sports i would try to get the cheapest best coach possible... now that he's off the table ... the money goes up and we start talking to people who said... mehhh to us once already.

IMHO...

4/4/2011 3:40:24 PM

Like my Jay Wright rumor.

Would have the spend lots more dough to get him than Shaka Smart...

4/4/2011 3:42:05 PM

lol, first result for "Cronin is staying with Cincinnati" is SFN

4/4/2011 3:43:42 PM

If GM says no...I'd be in favor of going after Chris Collins.

Otherwise, maybe we can get Sid back?

4/4/2011 3:43:48 PM

NO MORE NBA DNA IN WOLFPACK BALL..

NONE...

4/4/2011 3:48:12 PM

I'll come for 2mil...No make that 3 million.

4/4/2011 3:49:01 PM

I'd take Vinny Del Fuego.

4/4/2011 3:49:50 PM

I'm afraid that the only thing that makes sense at this point is for someone on TWW to step up to the coaching job. I nominate any of our Indian-American users because college basketball needs more diversity.

Also, the ladies of TWW should begin getting pregnant by exceptionally tall men. BigMan157 and begonias need to have like ten babies together and just abandon the ones who show no athletic ability by the age of 2...

If we put our hearts and minds to it, we'll be so good in twenty years!

on the other end of the Marshall thing, he could be announcing he's staying in order to look like he turned us down, but in reality it could be that the job position has already been filled and we've yet to announce it

4/4/2011 3:51:09 PM

the marshall thing def sounds like he's staying and is going to humiliate us, no one is as big an asshole as lebron was with his announcement

4/4/2011 3:52:22 PM

^^That's what I said.

The Smart, Cronin, and Marshall news coming in such quick succession could definitely indicate this. The hire is coming out of left field if that's the case, though.

This is ideal.


But since we are NC State, he will probably announce we are paying him $5 million a year for 10 years with a $10 million buyout.

yea thats what my optimistic side is hoping for right now.

4/4/2011 3:53:18 PM

Good thing we hired a search firm. This could have got embarrassing.

Who said Stevens it out of the running?
Who said Smart is out of the running?
Who said anyone is out of the running?
Basically everything is just hear-say...
As tight-lipped and under wraps as this whole thing has been, people sure do "know" a lot of information.

4/4/2011 3:56:49 PM

Little did we know the search firm is run by Lee Fowler.

4/4/2011 3:57:12 PM

we are about to be either hiring basketball jesus (miller, donovan, etc.) or a highschool coach. all the middle guys are removing their names. the suspense is killing me.

4/4/2011 3:57:56 PM

Makes sense. I would think Shaka Smart declined, then the number 2 took the job, then number 3 out of 3 (Cronin) said he was staying. Marshall is just saying something to be a dick and was never in the search.

4/4/2011 3:58:35 PM

4/4/2011 4:01:51 PM

nobody is speculating that marshall's "special announcement" is that he's taking the job?

4/4/2011 4:02:28 PM

Shaka is a fucking retard. That was a once in a lifetime run. Enjoy your shitty conference for 8 more years, loser.

4/4/2011 4:02:37 PM

Just got an email from the Wolfpack Club about a Coaches Caravan coming to Charlotte...being coaches Tom O'Brien, Kellie Harper, and......













Debbie Yow. Guess she's our new men's basketball coach.
