Restricted your a Idiot!!!! No O'Brien doesn't recruit the best talent in the world but he can DEVELOP a player. get a good class of players coach them and turn them into a TEAM!!! I support the Hire!

12/7/2006 8:18:27 AM

2004: December 30 vs North Carolina W 37-24 9-3 (4-2)

Obviously TOB is not Herb, he knows how to beat UNC...also didnt BC beat UNC a couple of years ago in a bowl game with UNC had Peppers...

maybe TOB could never get over the hump at BC because of the fact that he couldnt get recruits to go there that dont want to play in a 45000 seat stadium in the middle of a religious campus...maybe here where we have the facilities to get recruits he will get over that hump...i say give him a shot, wouldnt have been my first pick but hey, i think we could have done worse...he has discipline and loyal assistant coaches...i personally dont think Chuck was the problem but that he couldnt keep a good offensive coordinator was the big issue...

haha, I never thought this thread would reach two pages. I think Tom O'Brien will be a solid coach for us, I just would have like to seen us take a gamble on someone like a Jimbo Fisher. But then again, Amato was a gamble and look what happened with that.

12/7/2006 10:39:36 AM

he became one of nc state's winningest coaches? propelled our program onto a national stage? got our people to donate ridiculous amounts of money? got our fans to sell-out season tickets in record numbers, and by lifetime rights? instilled a fervor in football when nobody gave a damn before? raised expectations for our program? placed more kids into the nfl than any other coach has, and when alot of them draft picks were virtually ignored as high school recruits?

12/7/2006 10:47:50 AM

Good points, but the penalties and play-calling since Rivers left has made me want to shoot myself.

12/7/2006 10:50:13 AM

^^All that means shit when you don't produce.

if O'Brien is our Sendek, then Cowher is our Lowe

its only a matter of about a decade - i'll take winning seasons in the meantime

No disrespect to Lowe, but that kinda diminishes Cowher's accomplishments a bit.

12/7/2006 12:45:33 PM

A lot, actually.

12/7/2006 12:51:26 PM

Tom O'Brien beat UNC the last time he played them

agree w/ the "not another assistant mentality"

12/7/2006 1:03:59 PM

I think people are mostly upset over the fact that TOB doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that would bring alot of hype/attention to the program right off the bat. The best thing for TOB to do is go out and win alot in order to do that.

12/7/2006 1:06:44 PM

tom o'brien goes after every single coaching position open each year and we were the ones dumb enough to actually hire him.

12/7/2006 1:10:32 PM

you should post that one more time...i dont think we've see you say that yet.

12/7/2006 1:11:08 PM

^I hadn't

If you think our football program is in the same shape as our basketball program circa early 90s you're a fucking idiot.

I'm excited about the new coach, but I'm also pretty pissed. I think we could have done better.

But I am looking forward to August

12/7/2006 1:15:15 PM

Let's not forget that with the people voicing interest in our opening we settled for a turd sandwich.

12/7/2006 1:16:34 PM

I hope TOB doesnt already read TWW

12/7/2006 1:20:41 PM

I hope the BOT has more mental capacity than Lee Fowler.

not my intent, but i was kinda trying to point out the '83 win + his tenure under the winning Pistons...not a great analogy perhaps

please tell me who was interested in the job better than TOB. no one. johnson? fisher? even chow wasn't a better candidate.

maybe higher dream potentials, but not better candidates for the job.

12/7/2006 1:36:09 PM

Supposedly, this is a college sport, right? TOB is a winning coach with one of the highest graduation rates in the country.

Quote :

"In 2005, Boston College was ranked number one in the country by USA Today when the paper re-ordered the final 2005 football Top 25 by APR (Academic Progress Rate) score to measure a combination of athletic and academic success. BC was one of six Division I-A institutions with a football graduation rate of 90% or better, along with Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Southern Methodist University and the University of Southern Mississippi"

Don't worry, ESPN will post everything negative on the tv for us

apparently one of his kids works for ESPN...maybe she can punch Stuart Scott in his good eye for me

no one really knows. I do know that Mike Sherman was interested and he is a better coach than TOB

12/7/2006 1:44:00 PM

LOL at Mike Sherman.

Ask Ernie or Quinn about Mike Sherman's coaching ability.

12/7/2006 6:48:26 PM

How do you know Mike Sherman is a better coach than TOB? Because he coached in the NFL. So what. So did Steve Spurrier, look what happened to his record as Redskins Coach. TOB is a great fit for this program. Hes got discipline. As an ex-marine, he will get the job done correctly. Just because someone has a big name does not mean they are a better coach. Take Urban Meyer, he didn't have a big name, look what hes done. If state wanted a big name we would have hired John Madden.

12/7/2006 7:55:39 PM

Madden understands that to win a football game, you have to score more points than your opponent.

12/7/2006 8:01:15 PM

John Madden for OC!!!!!

12/7/2006 8:02:57 PM

Look at what Mike Sherman did at TAMU before he took the Green Bay job. TAMU fans are still mad that they hired Franchione over Sherman the second time aroudn.

Urban Meyer went to a BCS game and lead Utah to unprecedented levels in that schools history.

12/7/2006 8:04:52 PM

Mike Sherman would use us as a stepping stone to get back into the NFL. TOB is a better fit in college level at NC ST

[Edited on December 7, 2006 at 8:10 PM. Reason : Did not finish sentence]

12/7/2006 8:10:08 PM

I think people are rediculous to compare O'Brien to Herb. First you are slightly overlooking the fact that they don't even coach the same sport. Herb was a number crunching deep thinker. O'Brien was a marine. You don't have to blow smoke out your ass and jump up and down or wear bright red shoes to be a good football coach. I think O'Brien bears more resemblence to Dick Sheridan ..... maybe some of you have heard of him????

12/7/2006 8:10:27 PM

i hope TOB is like the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket.

"Your name is Lawrence? Only sailors and faggots are named lawrence!"

He didnt deserve to get fired......but that being said.

Anyone who is pissed we dont have him over o'brien is just bitching to bitch and obviously knows nothing.

from that fire TOB facebook group, this is hilarious



even though he reminds me of Herb a bit too, I'm on the TOB bandwagon and excited about having some good seasons again
