Lou Holtz should coach basketball

i'd like to stab the next person who thinks a "rumor" about random middle/high school/dii coach is original and/or funny

[Edited on April 4, 2011 at 11:40 PM. Reason : shit was played out 30 pgs ago]

4/4/2011 11:39:32 PM

HOLD ON A SECOND GUYS...

Doesn't Fowler coach?

4/4/2011 11:40:04 PM

he definitely knows basketball!

4/4/2011 11:43:50 PM

I'm thinking either an assistant from a major program or a mike young type coach

4/4/2011 11:44:08 PM

4/4/2011 11:45:03 PM

^^ we should have just hired mike montgomery from the start and been done w/ it.

"Debbie, You knew before going into this search that we had missed the NCAA tournament five years in a row. Do not use that as an excuse. You are a strong person, please do not wilt under the pressure of random message board posters. When you made the decision to fire Sidney Lowe you were convinced that you could do better than him. You need to convince someone to coach this basketball team with the talent and the recruits we currently have and that is not nearly as difficult as the media wants it to be. In the midst of a recession and dollar collapse money speaks and we all know and understand that the first coach we give a legit offer too will immediately accept the position. We know you are putting your image and our desire for a "big splash" on the backburner in order to make a strong hire. Use your gut instincts because thats what got you here. The Wolfpack Nation knows you didnt offer the job to Shaka Smart because we are too committed to take a risk on an experimental head coach. Make a confident decision behind a leader and the Wolfpack Nation will stand behind it I can promise you. Love, THE WOLFPACK NATION "RALLYDURHAM" "

I'm thinking either an assistant from a mid major program or a mike young lowe type coach again.


fixed it for you

4/4/2011 11:50:56 PM

we can get a youngish successful low major coach and still turn out lights years better than the lowe years, may be a longshot but it's a better risk that hiring someone with no college coaching experience

fire everyone

shut down the basketball program

put a giant jumbotron on carter finley with the extra cash

4/5/2011 12:00:11 AM

You realize the basketball program is profitable right?

4/5/2011 12:01:59 AM

Who the fuck gets paid to be an ACC historian.

hope Towe doesn't step in as interim coach

Quote :

"After his retirement as a player, Towe became an assistant coach under Norm Sloan, first at NC State (1979–80) and then at the University of Florida (1981–89). During the 1990s, he was coach and general manager of two teams in the Global Basketball Association; coach of a professional team in Venezuela (Marinos de Oriente); an assistant coach of the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the Continental Basketball Association under head coach Flip Saunders; coach of two junior college teams; and an assistant coach at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. In 2000, Towe was named head basketball coach at the University of New Orleans. He compiled a 70-78 record over five seasons. In May 2006, he left UNO to become associate head coach at North Carolina State under head coach Sidney Lowe."

D1 Assistant -> GBA Venezuela coach -> Sioux CBA coach -> community college coach -> D2? assistant coach -> failure D2 head coach -> NC State associate coach

why did we even hire him to begin with, despite the 74' 83' double threat sale

ouch.

It's going to be Bruce Pearl. Playing violation roulette

4/5/2011 2:19:16 AM

Thats it. I can't take it anymore. I am going on a hunger strike until a new coach is hired

4/5/2011 2:31:12 AM

this whole process just further proves how easily people are fooled by the media

4/5/2011 3:33:15 AM

If we end up with Towe I'm formally selling my fandom on eBay like that one dude did with the mets.

4/5/2011 6:12:29 AM

Jaybee, give up food? Ha, yeah right.

4/5/2011 6:55:51 AM

4/5/2011 7:25:11 AM

OH WE BACKF*CKED!

4/5/2011 7:52:56 AM

4/5/2011 8:03:58 AM

Does anyone thiink jay wright would crawl to raleigh if we just offered?

4/5/2011 8:10:03 AM

4/5/2011 8:10:09 AM

just hire sendek

if you're gonna disappoint the fans, just go whole hog on it

[Edited on April 5, 2011 at 8:15 AM. Reason : plus it'd be funny to see people implode]

4/5/2011 8:14:54 AM

Press conference would be like the Clayton Bigsby book signing

4/5/2011 8:17:30 AM

i had a dream last night that i wasn't a state fan...


it was awesome

4/5/2011 8:18:13 AM

i am embarrassed to say i had a dream that we could not find a coach and sid came back... i guess i should call this a nightmare.

4/5/2011 8:53:18 AM

I'd take Sidney back at this point.

4/5/2011 9:04:19 AM

A nightmare would be being a fan of a college that hasn't won a conference championship in football or basketball in over 20 years while being less than 30 minutes from schools that have not only done that many times in that time period but have also won multiple national championships as well.

Sid coming back is just a bad dream compared to that.

4/5/2011 9:06:14 AM

the head coach of Virginia Commonwealth University said NO to North Carolina State University and a heck of a lot more $$.


let that sink in for a bit.

thats very hard to justify. NCSU is just that shitty i reckon.

I lost all confidence in this search the moment I received the letter from Yow, which basically told me "WE ARE PUSHING THE RESET BUTTON ON THE SEARCH"



FML.

4/5/2011 9:06:28 AM

4/5/2011 9:08:02 AM

We really should just shut the program down and cut our losses.

4/5/2011 9:09:04 AM

just hire bruce pearl.

4/5/2011 9:09:09 AM

The sky isn't falling b/c it already fell.

I'd never thought I would want another Amato-like coach, but this is our last option.

4/5/2011 9:11:49 AM

you guys are all doom and gloom maybe he asked for more money and we said go eff yourself.

4/5/2011 9:13:36 AM

Because we're in a position to say go eff yourself

4/5/2011 9:14:14 AM

i wouldn't read too much into Smart turning us down - dude is riding the high of making the final four, and the emotions he feels for his team right now because of it

a week or two, when he thinks about it calmly, he's going to have an aw goddammit moment

4/5/2011 9:14:41 AM

cut losses
hire cheap coach
move program back to reynolds
accept the inevitable mediocrity (which we've already been in for years)
put more money into football
