I don't know how credible this is, but I was told that jamie dixon had his name on the hat. I doubt it with his current contact now running through the 2017-2018 season, but the source is supposedly heavily involved, and high ranking or whatever, in the wolfpack club...

doyell and that jones guy chatroom right now

So Lowe is "resigning" but won't be at his own press conference to announce said resignation?

I mean, Yow is doing you a favor by allowing you to "resign", so at least announce it yourself.

3/15/2011 3:03:07 PM

^quit being a douchenozzle. The guy is gone one way or the other and has handled himself with class throughout the second half of the season when everyone knew he was gone. What purpose would it fill to put him in front of a bunch of reporters?

its true

3/15/2011 3:08:29 PM

Not saying he has to answer questions, but Yow did him a favor by putting on the front that he resigned voluntarily instead of being fired. If you resign, you announce that yourself. If you're fired, you expect the boss man to announce that. That's all I'm saying.

3/15/2011 3:08:47 PM

^Lowe has nothing to gain by going to the presser. maybe he'll release a statement, maybe not. what's left for him to do? do you want him to go "ummm, sorry i sucked, im out k bye".

give the man a little credit, he resigned; that should be enough. you shouldnt need for him to do anything else, or answer any questions. the next step is finding a coach.

It's standard PR to not have Sid at the PC. UNC had Bunting at his and it was a trainwreck. Let it go.

I love how the chat room allows you to be anonymous. Jones and Doyel have taken several unprovoked shots at NCSU already

i'm trolling them hard now

I got my question on asking when Gregg went bald. He declined to answer...

We're delusional because we see ourselves as being potentially thisclose to Duke and UNC if we ever got the right guy in here, not the middle of the pack ACC team that is on the same level as VT and Florida State at this point.

Worth noting that Doyel said the right coach here can win it all

3/15/2011 3:32:19 PM

Doyel is either an idiot or he isn't. Can't call him an idiot when he bashes state and then hang on every word when he says we can win it all with the right coach. Pick a side

[Edited on March 15, 2011 at 3:34 PM. Reason : +1 for he's an idiot]

I value his insight no more than JT3bucky's

3/15/2011 3:34:10 PM

3/15/2011 3:37:48 PM

He isn't an idiot, but he does intentionally troll state fans from time to time to get readership because he knows you clowns (or the idiots at PP) will flood his inbox everytime he mentions state.

"Worth noting that Doyel said the right coach here can win it all"

That is some great analysis, right there. Doyel is a douche and offers no real insight into anything because he is usually wrong. And I dont know who this Matt Jones dude is, but it's pretty obvious that Doyle has taught him that the easiest way to succeed in their business is by trolling.

I think Matt Jones is just trying out the well known 'troll NC State fans and get some name recognition' technique

he actually said that Sloan and Case only won at State because they cheated their asses off, he's just looking for blog/twitter traffic

More media trolling, this time from the Indy Weekly of all places:

Quote :

"Help Wanted Basketball coach for once-great program. Requirements: 1) Must win championships. NCAA preferred (Final Fours acceptable as stepping stones only); but ACC titles sufficient if always followed by Sweet 16 appearances or better. Must be undeterred by fact that two national powers always finish ahead of hiring entity and are coached by basketball legends. 2) Must be proven recruiter of best basketball talent on planet. Past success at national level a plus. 3) If unproven recruiter and/or no such past success, must win championships within reasonable time period or leave in disgrace. Benefits include dental and severance. 3) Must see that best basketball talent, once present, attends classes or leaves hiring entity before embarrassing self & others. No amphibious players, in other words. 4) Salary commensurate with experience, but don't get excessive on us, we ain't no elite U. 5) Position is not only open until filled, but the fact that we're hiring a national executive recruiting firm indicates just how open it is. Apply to etc. etc."

"I don't see you trolling them at all. I wish you would though"

I posted quite a few things to them, they obviously didnt want to display or respond to them. Probably because they had sexual innuendos and foul language in them. I've done chats in that format before and they see everything that gets posted

I also stopped trying after the NCSU coaching commentary that I posted above. Had to get some work done before leaving the office

3/15/2011 4:01:48 PM

GaTech fired a coach that went to the national championship yet we get all the hate. Oklahoma fired Capel after 5 seasons and they achieved more than we did in the same time span, yet again we get all the hate.

3/15/2011 4:03:01 PM

Nobody is hating on us for firing Lowe. They're just picking on us in relation to our potential replacement coaches.

3/15/2011 4:07:53 PM

i don't think anyone can hate on us for our treatment of lowe. for whatever reason people are still clinging to the herb sendek era.

also


(still not happening)

3/15/2011 4:10:03 PM

miller should be the one reach hire and if they do offer than do it covertly, DO NOT make a lot of publicity about someone who will probably turn you down, that was what snowballed in to the awful lowe hire to begin with last time

after that it should be brey, gillespie (if things look ok), miller, blaine taylor, turgeon (sp?) in that order, I'm pretty sure at least one of those guys would say yes and they would all be serious upgrades, this really doesn't seem like that hard a thing but I say 50/50 this gets screwed up prob because of doing something stupid like going for donovan or barnes again (which I can already sense a lot of idiot fans supporting) and getting turned down and panicking

I dont understand how everyone can get on the fan base for having too high expectations for our team. if we didnt want the best then we wouldnt be real fans. Who's to say that we can't get back to the elite level with duke and unc. i do believe when the acc was formed nc state basically ran that shit. its not like we have never had success or never had a strong program.

3/15/2011 4:16:38 PM

^^maybe but ND is an obvious football school, I'm sure we could offer more money, and all his players are graduating so three things in state's favor but yeah I put him first because he was the biggest reach, honestly I'd be just as enthused with a marshall type, I'm not sure how high brey's ceiling would be so with a younger guy there might be more potential

3/15/2011 4:19:44 PM

Brey is coaching a team that starts 5 seniors... looking for a new job is a smart move.
