I think we're 1-2 actually. UConn is in the Big East.

I, for one, am tired of mediocrity. I dont care if we are never a top 10 program, or a national championship program, but I am sick of being happy with mediocrity. TOB shows an absolute lack of passion for the program, and I get no feeling that he cares to rise above an average season. If we have to be mediocre, Id rather have a coach who is constantly trying to rise above that. A coach who at least has some fucking passion.

Lets start looking at some really good NC high school coaches....

9/29/2012 4:02:53 PM

is it so much to ask for a coach who has as much passion for the program as us fans?

I hear Akron has a really good defensive coach that knows about facilities and ice and fannies, 3 things our team is sorely lacking in

This message board is insufferable. It's a microcosm of the uninformed, knee jerk, ignorant to the game, stereotypical, eye roll inducing type of fanhood that I can't stand.

Claim you'll never watch another game, post in a Fire the Coach thread, go into work on Monday and make uninformed comments that only make the informed discard everything you say. By Wednesday, start to feel a little better and by the time Saturday rolls around you can do it all over again. Those that do this were probably also first in line to buy their bowl tickets the last two years and talk trash to their UNC friends about losing to us 5 times in a row.

Or, you could just take a chill pill, drink a beer, and shut the fuck up.

9/29/2012 4:08:13 PM

I don't know about you, but I enjoy reading all of the idiocy

9/29/2012 4:09:24 PM

Ill watch all the games, support the team, go when I can

But come on, we need a new coach

9/29/2012 4:12:12 PM

^This.

TOB had his chance, the program has not really changed during his tenure, it has not moved forward in any measurable way, and he has made some dumb moves in the process.





[Edited on September 29, 2012 at 4:33 PM. Reason : .]

9/29/2012 4:13:30 PM

no way we improve with a new staff that coaches for peanuts

9/29/2012 4:13:53 PM

Wait, so let me get this straight. You are saying that by season 6....us as NCSU fans are suppose to be just okay with what we all witnessed down in Miami today??

When all of the sporting news reports, big wigs on ESPN were saying that this year O'brien has the most depth he has ever had here in Raleigh...O'brien even said that in a few interviews this past summer.

The TN game, I can understand because the Vols just had better athletes than us across the board, but today's game was an atrocity to the tenth power.....and we're suppose with it after how long O'brien has been on the sidelines? Get the fuck out of here!

We have plenty of money, he's not not paid shit because we can't afford it. He's paid shit because that's what he took and he didn't do the things that would have triggered increases in his contract.

We've got good facilities, an active fan base, and very eager donors who would love to see us do better. I have no doubt that we are able to get the money together for a good hire, there is no reason we can't be good at football.

'to be ok with it'

9/29/2012 4:16:48 PM

I'm not saying I'm happy with TOB by any means, but maybe I'm okay with winning 8-9 games and a bowl every year and beating unc. Although, it would be nice to at least play in an ACC championship game.

^And I never said you have to be okay with it. I just can't stand HOW people react to everything.

if he would make the switch, grab Charlie Strong

9/29/2012 4:17:34 PM

^^we've done it two years in a row. not much of a streak but I'd be happy with that. If TOB isn't the guy to keep that going then get rid of him. shrug

He coached one of the worst 2nd halves in recent memory against UNC this year. They've played nobody this year and just barely beat a shitty FIU team.

I don't want to give up a solid coach for a question mark.

9/29/2012 4:20:25 PM

we MAY go 6-6 this year if we are fucking lucky.

If you have the 80th ranked schedule strength and if you go to a shitty bowl that shouldn't even exist, you are doing a fine job!

Easy to be happy when you have very low standards. Why even have a fucking sports program if you don't care about playing the sport well?

Shut it down and donate the money to academics -- god knows they need some help, too.

9/29/2012 4:25:02 PM

John L Smith should be available

9/29/2012 4:27:32 PM

^Exactly. Strive for excellence. We may not get there, but at least constantly strive for it. I swear TOB just looks like he is showing up for a paycheck.

I'm not completely opposed to it, but would just like to see him have a really successful season this year for a little more "proof". He's got a bad ass QB, don't waste it.

9/29/2012 4:35:28 PM

In for someone who can fill some fucking holes in the defense. I'm tired of having one or two great players on defense and a bunch of bottom feeders everywhere else.

9/29/2012 4:35:32 PM

Fun Fact: We have just as many wins this year as we did in 2006, the year before O'Brien took over.

you people that come to his defense are part of the problem, and i recall the same shit during the "fire Amato" discussions even before his final season.

people like you make coaches like TOB think that since state is not a football powerhouse, all he has to do to appease us stupid fans/supporters is the occasional bowl game, 7-5 season, and occasionally beating UNC. TOB truly is the Herb Sendek of football.

nothing knee jerk about it. play footage of our defense from 2008 side by side with footage from this game and you'd think it's the same players. the fact that it hasn't been addressed is inexcusable and tob needs to pay for it.
