fuck yes

11/25/2012 1:21:16 PM

Kinda surprised. At least the offseason should be exciting.

11/25/2012 1:21:40 PM

Fired? Or did he resign/retire early?

11/25/2012 1:22:35 PM

11/25/2012 1:23:14 PM

holy shit

11/25/2012 1:23:33 PM

"Released" is the word I've seen used on twitter.

11/25/2012 1:23:49 PM

Please "release" Bible and Archer too

11/25/2012 1:24:55 PM

I think his entire staff goes.

Maybe not Tenuta, but we'll see.

11/25/2012 1:26:05 PM

they will all be gone



HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY

11/25/2012 1:26:07 PM

Release the hounds

11/25/2012 1:26:20 PM

Finally it came to the fact that he couldn't beat UNC LOL!

11/25/2012 1:27:08 PM

Gah...wish he could have at least beaten UNC this year. Now you'll hear the..."all you have to do is beat UNC to keep your job at State" type jabs.

11/25/2012 1:28:05 PM

Before the bowl eh? Bring on the national hate for firing a winning coach ala herb

11/25/2012 1:29:14 PM

^

I was half joking, but one more win and he could have stayed... the UNC game killed us... lost to UVa after that as a direct consequence

You mean people were talking about us? Sounds like success to me

11/25/2012 1:32:32 PM

I honestly didnt expect that to happen.

11/25/2012 1:33:16 PM

bittersweet.

i loved what he did with reigning in the team after Chuck "Penalty Flag" Amato (yeah, aaronburro, I know who you are).

But I guess we're in an age when character doesn't count on the field.

I would like to see some consistency.

It's something I don't think I've ever seen since I started at State, in '99.

11/25/2012 1:34:13 PM

So far the fanbase seems in 100% in support of the move. Largely because he was a bitch ass punk to RW

11/25/2012 1:35:21 PM

well damn. There it is folks.

"A noted disciplinarian, O'Brien, 64, ran a clean program in Raleigh. During O'Brien's six-year tenure, a third of the ACC schools ran into trouble with the NCAA, including UNC, which was banned from the postseason this year for multiple violations under former coach Butch Davis."

lol at that last paragraph

11/25/2012 1:40:09 PM

i like the unnecessary UNC jab hahaha

11/25/2012 1:41:02 PM

Let's get bill cowher out of the studio

11/25/2012 1:42:09 PM

Wasn't expecting this so soon, I don't think he had to go by any means, so if Debbie thinks she can get somebody good then I'm ok with it, if not.. I could see it being a bad move for a few years

Ditka for coach

11/25/2012 1:49:41 PM

11/25/2012 1:51:11 PM

This kind of shocked me. Part of me wishes they would have let him do the bowl game though. Bittersweet for sure. Being that half my time at State was with Amato and O'Brien, the shift between the 2 coaches was so noticeable that it was amazing.

Hopefully Debbie can find the right coach for us long term. Cmon Kliff Kingsbury.

11/25/2012 1:54:52 PM

I'm shocked also, I hope Debbie has someone else already qued up.

11/25/2012 1:56:36 PM

I'm for the timing because it gives the next coach time to keep current/bring on his own recruits
