Why do you guys love the hire so much?

I'll definitely give him a chance, but love is a strong word until we see how much rust there is after two years.

4/5/2011 4:32:30 PM

all I can tell from radio/quick reading is that he likes to run an up tempo offense. what else?

4/5/2011 4:32:49 PM

taking photoshop requests, but dont just give me some picture w/o saying what you want done w/ it

4/5/2011 4:34:11 PM

gorman street pub? no more Jax?

b/c we landed a coach that went to the elite 8 at alabama. that's a great ceiling.

4/5/2011 4:34:52 PM

I'll be officially on board the Gottfried Train @ 5 O'Clock. right now it's trash trash trash. @ 5 it'll be praise praise praise. Oh We Back.


speaking of train. need a photoshop of Gottfried's face on the Lowe-train. woot woot.

4/5/2011 4:37:49 PM

i don't see the point in judging this hire as phenomenal or awful until we know our roster and give him a chance to coach

i feel comfortable believing it is a solid hire

where have you been? Jax shut down months, if not a year, ago. 5+ page thread in Chit Chat under Gorman Street Pub

4/5/2011 4:39:14 PM

^haven't been in that area for well over a year

i don't even live in Raleigh. TWW keeps me in the loop these days.

4/5/2011 4:40:50 PM

$1.2 million for Gottfried over 5 years? That has to mean per year, right?

4/5/2011 4:41:19 PM

i generally avoid chit chat, i stick mostly to sports and entertainment

4/5/2011 4:41:21 PM

Contract is reportedly $1.2 million for 5 years. Automatic 2 year extension if we make the tournament in first 2 years.

Yeah, some CBS blogger typed it as 1.2 over 5, but the original AP article says 1.2 annually.

4/5/2011 4:42:48 PM

I have no problem with awesome incentives on a contract. If he takes us back to the tourney in the first 2 years after not being there for 5 he deserves it.

4/5/2011 4:43:39 PM

who was that dude that just gave Gottfried a blowjob on 99.9

Wow y'all didn't waste any time on the website, and just got mentioned on Gold and Ovies

Some shameful shit there, guys

4/5/2011 4:52:08 PM

Anyone know the real reason he left Alabama mid season? I've heard everything from problems with players, problems with the AD, and an affair with a student. Kinda excited to have a guy who can build a basketball program in freaking Alabama, but concerned that he would leave mid-season.

4/5/2011 4:52:21 PM

hahahah!

4/5/2011 4:52:29 PM

he obviously got into some shit.

i do not care at all.

4/5/2011 4:53:05 PM

actually. actually. I actually!

4/5/2011 4:55:11 PM

we can't afford a backdrop that covers the whole frame of the camera?

4/5/2011 4:56:12 PM

This guy was not on my radar obviously and honestly I might have heard his name 2 or 3 times in my life.

But I'm ok with the hire, just happy it's over.


I'd rather have gotten Pearl though.

4/5/2011 4:56:44 PM

to stay late at work and stream this presser or not...

i wonder if there is a Rule #34 for Mark Gottfried

4/5/2011 5:01:16 PM

Wow. Debra Morgan cannot fucking talk.

4/5/2011 5:01:24 PM

fuck is the conference on? the fucking radio heads are talking to themselves

fuck these guys

4/5/2011 5:02:17 PM

[no]

4/5/2011 5:02:45 PM

Gottfried's late, so I guess he's still on the plane in from Alabama. I can only assume he was sitting on the couch in his underwear eating ice cream until about 2:45

4/5/2011 5:04:00 PM

i'm entertained by the press that keep looking back at the camera, realize it's rolling, then try to look away all "i didn't know it was on!"

4/5/2011 5:04:40 PM

hopefully his plane didn't have a hole ripped in it or lose all instrumentation
^whoa, where is a live feed?
