The Pack ended the season 3-9 after a 21-16 loss to East Carolina on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. State's seven-game losing streak to end the season was the Pack's longest since 1959, when it dropped its last nine games. Amato has a 49-37 overall record at State, going 25-31 in ACC games, in his seven seasons. The Pack has finished no higher than fourth in the league during his tenure. Amato spent much of the morning and early afternoon at the Murphy Football Center at Carter-Finley Stadium."

just making an announcement seems sort of gutless by the nc state SID, at least have someone come answer questions to the media

11/26/2006 6:32:31 PM

^^thx for the update chief......

So do we have a time?

Anyone listening to the radio or watching the news? I'm guessing it would be carried on 680 or 850, maybe WRAL, probably WRAL Newschannel.


Anything??

By the way, Packpride seems to be making this case very official...

go to front page and see... http://www.packpride.com

11/26/2006 6:42:12 PM

honestly, i feel really bad =(

11/26/2006 6:43:25 PM

the decision had been reached after the Clemson game.

at the beginning of the year Chuck was given 6 wins or he would be gone.

thus his exit, announcement will come tonight...talks have already been conducted with other coaches as to the job opening and an official announcement of a new coach may come as early as the end of bowl season.

this from the same guy who broke the 6 wins or out for Chuck at the start of the season, Lowe as the new coach and Mario as a #1 pick

aka me

who they be talking to

11/26/2006 6:45:37 PM

havent heard officially who has been presented an 'offer' yet, but most if not all of the coaches that have been spoken to have connections to NC State in some way shape or form.

take that for what its worth.

11/26/2006 6:46:55 PM

like have been here or have driven by the campus?

11/26/2006 6:48:24 PM

they rooted for UNC to beat us?

11/26/2006 6:49:08 PM

so, Bill Cowher, Norm Chow, Lou Holtz, Dick Sheridan, Roman Gabriel, Skip Holtz, Philip Rivers, and Torry Holt, and Monty Kiffin.

thx for the info

11/26/2006 6:49:23 PM

JT3bucky, They should just hire you to run the head coach search committee, then

JC's first HC moves will be to bring back the all-red helmets, make the players wear jeans, and change our jerseys to a yellowish-orange

11/26/2006 7:10:56 PM

do you think he is going to cry?

11/26/2006 7:10:58 PM

I've seen the story regarding the upcoming press conference from Lee Fowler regarding Chuck's job status on three different news station websites in the past 30 minutes, I think it's safe to say that his announcement will be made tonight unless someone is doing some serious lying.... but right now, it's looking like it's between the following sources


WRAL vs. N&O and other TV stations vs. Packpride

neutral vs. a decision will be released soon vs. fired already

11/26/2006 7:11:37 PM

so, is there gonna be a chuck amato show tonight or not

11/26/2006 7:18:08 PM

It was already taped. Should be funny if they air it after this announcement.

11/26/2006 7:18:51 PM

I can't wait for the Chuckles show tonight.

11/26/2006 7:19:49 PM

what time/channel

11/26/2006 7:20:29 PM

after WRAL news, approx 11:30, but news usually goes way past that time

11/26/2006 7:21:28 PM

it'll be the highest rating in his show's history if they haven't made an announcement before then.

edit: chuck's radio show, that is.

[Edited on November 26, 2006 at 7:22 PM. Reason : ]

11/26/2006 7:22:25 PM

the show has already been taped and theres no mention of his job, per WRAL.com

11/26/2006 7:23:08 PM

nothing new on WRAL.com or WRAL TV

nothing new on N&O

regular talk radio on 680am right now

nothing on gopack.com

nothing on statefans/packpride

statefansnation and redandwhitefromstate are both down




any other sources that might have a presser time?

" "I don't really have to say a whole lot to (the critics)," Amato said. "You look out there at that stadium and you can see what's going on here since I've been here. And you know, one bad season doesn't make the program. Programs are built ... in time. And this was a big bump in the road. "I think I had a lot to do with bringing the emotion and the enthusiasm and the belief to follow a dream that has never, ever been reached here. Ever. And nobody knows how long it will take for it to happen." "
