Yeah, this thread is going to pretty much continue to suck until April, at which point the discussion will swiftly head on over to a "Coach X credibility watch" thread.

^ still credible

Do I need to start a Church of O'Blennon to pass the time?

Anyone else have a sneaky feeling they are going to use the show as Lowe's resignation speech?

3/14/2011 6:47:35 PM

Doubt they'd do that.

3/14/2011 6:48:55 PM

yes, this has been mentioned in the carousel thread

3/14/2011 6:49:14 PM

I just can't imagine him sitting there and breaking down our ACC tournament loss for an hour and then getting fired later this week. Hell, they already know every call in question is gonna be "are you going to be coaching next year?!".

3/14/2011 6:50:54 PM

I'm guessing that his contract says he has to do X amount of radio shows per year, etc and he's just fulfilling that.

No way would stepping down on the air would do anything for him or for NC State.

The odd thing, to me, is that they'll be accepting callers

They"ll probably take very few and very selective calls. if any.

The fact that Yow is not present and that they've been talking about excuses for why we sucked this year suggests he will not be resigning tonight. I can't wait to see if someone gets past the call-screeners though.

3/14/2011 7:28:57 PM

so are there any realistic coaches out there that anyone is remotely excited for or even encouraged by?

Sid's coming back next year, with new assistants. That's my prediction, Yow or no.

[Edited on March 14, 2011 at 8:40 PM. Reason : x]

3/14/2011 8:35:25 PM

^ Not a chance IMO. If Lowe were coming back, I'd think Yow would have already announced it.


Debbie and Lowe to meet tomorrow afternoon

my dad told me he though lowe would get another year. i pointed out that he hadn't watched a single state game all season.

"N.C. State is offering a considerable sum to coach the team this time around, at $3 million per season. Despite that figure, I’m told high profile candidates for the Wolfpack job will be scarce because of Yow’s tempestuous relationship with Gary Williams when she was the A.D. at Maryland."

if we're giving out $3m per season and don't have any tackers, we might as well just pack it in. no pun intended.

3/14/2011 10:03:53 PM

I think that if coach is winning, he'll have no problem with Debbie Yow.

Miller would be an awesome hire. That's my vote.

3/14/2011 10:44:58 PM

We are certaintly not going to get Barnes, Miller, Dixon, etc in the next week. If we have a new coach in less than a week it's Gillispe.

3/14/2011 10:46:57 PM

What kind of contract does sean miller have? Is it feasible for us to buy it out?

3/14/2011 10:47:40 PM

Thank God Mike turtleneck motherfucking Brey isn't on the short list. Let's keep it that way please kthnx.

just read this on PP:

"Coach K was friendly with Jim Valvano - especially after he quit coaching and became ill. It is not too much more far fetched to think we can possibly get Coach K to leave Duke and come to State."

"While the Wolfpack reportedly are willing to pay up to $3 million annually — far exceeding Fox’s current $1.3 million salary at Georgia — it’s not a program with any more potential than the one in Athens. The facilities enhancements at Georgia has elevated the stature of the basketball program, as has the SEC’s overall improved strength."

lol

3/15/2011 12:12:24 AM

i wonder how many coaches are gonna start throwing their own names in the rumor mill just so they can get a raise

3/15/2011 12:14:37 AM

I don't know much about Fox...but I thought I read on PP where he had a pretty large buyout.

3/15/2011 12:14:57 AM

Highly doubt we're going to approach Fox.

$2 Mil buyout. No way he's worth that at this point

On that same note, i highly doubt we're considering Barnes or Tubby, either

[Edited on March 15, 2011 at 12:28 AM. Reason : ]

3/15/2011 12:16:54 AM

^, ^^ Yeah, I think that would be the biggest hurdle in getting him (assuming we wanted him in the first place). Not Georgia's supposed up-and-coming basketball prowess. That's laughable. Georgia will always be a football school, first and foremost. He could take them to a Final 4 and Georgia fans would still be talking about next football season. Make it to the Final 4 here and he'd be worshipped as a God.
