Seriously, I don't see how it could be someone worse than Marshall. He wanted the job.

4/4/2011 4:55:05 PM

did he though? ha

4/4/2011 4:56:11 PM

How is anyone so sure Marshall wanted the job

4/4/2011 4:57:08 PM

Why on earth would we want Dechellis? I didn't know who he was so I googled, and evidently he has a sub .500 record in 7 seasons @ Penn State, and folks expected he would get fired after this season.

4/4/2011 4:57:32 PM

The guy is at wichita state and we are throwing around figures like $2M+ (admittedly, not necessarily to him). Even the biggest pessimist would admit that there is no way the NCState job is that unattractive.

There was some rumor around about State being his dream job. The guys on the WSU board seemed very worried about him leaving.

4/4/2011 5:01:09 PM

I'm going by this guy, who seems to be a local sports anchor for a Wichita station: http://twitter.com/#!/cfryesportsguy

Also, lol, PackPride forums did not get my Gary Williams to State joke

4/4/2011 5:02:21 PM

Everything I read/heard (mostly internet and talk radio lol) indicated that Marshall was definitely willing to take the job. I'm not entirely shocked that Smart turned us down...but I am shocked that Marshall is going to.

I really thought we couldn't do worse Mizzou did with Haith...apparently I was wrong.

4/4/2011 5:02:47 PM

^i wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet

4/4/2011 5:03:10 PM

^^that's exactly why I think Yow has something big up her sleeve. I can't believe she is gonna do worse than Marshall somehow as much as the beaten down state fan in me wants to.

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 5:05 PM. Reason : d]

4/4/2011 5:04:15 PM

With NC State being a dream job plus his fans already worried, I think it furthers that his "special announcement" is that he is staying there.

4/4/2011 5:04:57 PM

I hear a charter flight landed at RDU from Gainsville this afternoon... obviously this means Donovan is back in the picture!

Barrack Obama has taken himself out of the running for our coaching job because he wants to run for the office of 'Leader of the Free World' in 2012... what a bitchass, i think he's just scared of K & Roy

4/4/2011 5:09:56 PM

lol....

OK here is my dream world

DY-"hey shaka want 2 mil?"
SS-try 3 and i'm yours
DY-"eff that for 3 we can get stevens"

DY-Hey stevens remember when you said 2 wasn't enough??? how bout 3?

BS..... sure...

and it just hasn't been announced yet cause he has a game to play.

every year i am more and more convinced that Vitale is clueless

he's a ridiculous caricature of himself, and he rarely offers insight other than saying top players are talented.

can't stand him

I desperately hope she has something up her sleeve...Marshall saying no to the job just doesn't make sense. At all.

4/4/2011 5:12:09 PM

^ He was never offered the job, duh.

4/4/2011 5:14:18 PM

Maybe Donovan was like hell yea I'll come but you got to offer my boy Shaka first to increase his stock.

4/4/2011 5:16:20 PM

at this point I'd just assume give it to hodge and surround him with some good assistants

They'd flounder for sure but maybe you could groom a good lifelong coach

(I'm only half joking at this point )

4/4/2011 5:18:35 PM

itd be pretty sweet if tonight there's a bs situation reminiscent of roy at kansas after losing the championship

someone asks an off question about if he's interested in ncst job

"i could give a shit about nc state"

then we'll have it in the bag

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 5:20 PM. Reason : e]

If Brad Cooper is found not guilty I say we hire him. He'll be desperate for a job

4/4/2011 5:21:56 PM

"Spoke briefly with NCSU Assoc AD Chris Kingston. Told him VCU AD says offer made to Smart. Kingston: 'don't know where that's coming from'"


http://twitter.com/#!/ArmstrongWTVD/status/55016658347114496

Sounds like the VCU AD is just trying to up his status.

4/4/2011 5:24:26 PM

Please. He was offered.

4/4/2011 5:26:50 PM

Sounds more like Kingston is in damage control mode and it's pathetic at this point

4/4/2011 5:27:25 PM

^YOW did say that she would call out anyone coach who said they were offered when they never were.


They may have inquired about him and thats it.

4/4/2011 5:31:11 PM

Sounds like different definitions of the word 'offer'.

4/4/2011 5:34:37 PM

I just can't see any situation where State "contacts" a coach, throws out a number, but isn't interested. What's the fucking point.

4/4/2011 5:36:12 PM

offer Term Sheet

The coach is Bonesaw McGraw

He said he's reaaaaaadyyyyyyyy

4/4/2011 5:38:04 PM

I mean they can call it what they want but if we weren't getting turned down there would be a hire by now
