12/6/2006 10:34:27 PM

12/6/2006 10:34:30 PM

yeah, I meant was on a team that got one

Tom def. didn't

"Are we all secretly mad that UNC hired a former National Championship winner"

Butch Davis has never won a national championship as a head coach. he was an assistant coach for a team that won the national championship.... just like Chuck Amato.

12/6/2006 10:39:12 PM

Butch Davis was just awarded the National championship by the helms or harris foundation that awarded UNC the 1924 basketball championship. Very sneaky

12/6/2006 10:41:26 PM

he's the new head coach, nothing we can do about it except support him for the next couple of years

12/6/2006 10:43:16 PM

i just hope our pipeline to florida is still open

12/6/2006 10:51:38 PM

^ yeah it has proven to be so valuable.

12/6/2006 10:52:26 PM

I think it'll work, he pulled BC outta the shitter but it did take a few years. We just can't expect a 9-3 turn around which everyone thinks will happen. I'm gonna give Tommy O the benefit of the doubt and cheer my ass off for him

12/6/2006 10:58:52 PM

Its possible to win without that pipeline

12/6/2006 10:59:02 PM

I wonder what it is like to be a fan of a program like Texas, Ohio, and such.

And odd thing from a friend that went to the Auburn game where they lost to Georgia at home, wrecking there NC chances.

The Auburn fans he was with almost acted like it wasnt a big deal. Our fans would have been crushed.

Is it like this with programs that are used to success?

12/6/2006 11:13:55 PM

I support him fully.

12/6/2006 11:15:58 PM

^^ kindof like, i wonder what it was like for my dad to be a freshman in '74. what a bastard.

"The team became the 11th in BC history to win nine or more games in a season; three of those seasons have come under Tom O'Brien. The 2005 senior class won 35 games, the most in the modern era of BC football history. The 35 wins also ties for the best four-year mark in school history (1939-42). The Eagles have now strung together the most successful five, six and seven-year periods in school history. "

don't really see how their fans can be such whiny bitches after reading that

12/6/2006 11:27:30 PM

I feel bad for BC fans. I don't think they realize they are gonna get a crap coach because that school doesn't put shit into their program.

i wonder where Trestman will wind up
how many OCs does this make in the past 6 years

12/6/2006 11:30:24 PM

Can someone explain what's not to like about TOB. It seems to me he is consistently pulling down ~8 wins per year and appears with some regularity in the top 25.

Hell, if he can deliver anything like that here, how can anyone be angered?

12/6/2006 11:30:59 PM

I'm shocked, but i'll support this hire

he looks like a classy guy... his teams' academic record is also something to desire

12/6/2006 11:30:59 PM

He has my full support. He's a good coach that should be able to get better recruits now that he is in the south.

"Congratulations, NC State. Make your reservations for Boise early!"

Stop posting stupid shit because YOU don't like him. Knowledged NCSU fans love this hire. The only reason they were stuck in Boise is because BC has so little support/following. He had nothing to work with.

12/7/2006 12:58:57 AM

hopefully he can keep his recruiting connections in the north east for players that would not otherwise be on our radar.

12/7/2006 1:18:18 AM

I personally wanted Jimbo Fisher but I will take what I can get. BC was like 3 plays from being undefeated, losses here on the last play brought on by a terriblel kicker for them, and at conference champion WF and to Miami. that was probably the worst loss cause of what was on the line for BC. But I was really hoping for Jimbo just cause his name is JIMBO

12/7/2006 1:21:08 AM

most of our best players were non Floridians(draft wise, not hype wise...5 star recruit, oh wow!!)....we need to recruit NC better.

I support Tom O'brien

12/7/2006 1:25:09 AM

1. He is a Navy man, he will discipline his players.
2. He can win more consistently than any other coach we had, save Holtz (Sheridan lost most of his bowl games, TOB wins his)
3. He's proven himself as an offensive coach.
4. He has won in BCS conferences.
5. He reminds me of George Welsh, who I thought was a class act.

Why people don't like him:

1. He isn't Cowher.
2. He won't entertain you like Chuck.
3. He isn't Cowher.
4. He isn't Butch Davis, and we all know there were plenty of coaches better than him out there that we could have nabbed.
5. He isn't Cowher.
6. He isn't a redneck named Jimbo or Cooter or whatever.
7. He isn't Cowher.

get over it, morons. we have a great coach now.

average coach

Davis-good/great

lets get that straight.

12/7/2006 1:29:13 AM

i support not throwing a proven head coach under the bus until he can at least prove to us that he sucks

therefore, i support tom o'brien

12/7/2006 1:30:10 AM

Davis was at Miami and TOB was at Boston College.

He had no support/facilities to work with.

O'Brien will open some eyes here, you watch.

12/7/2006 1:30:50 AM

We didn't get someone better than the guy UNC got when they started their search a month early. Who cares? Who could ANYONE get right now better or as good as the guy who brought Miami back.

12/7/2006 1:32:11 AM

he's a fucking marine, and graduated 100% of his players in 2004

It seems like a safe decision, he reminds me of Tom Coughlin

12/7/2006 1:33:02 AM

get ready for 5 WTF games each year.

12/7/2006 1:36:40 AM

So he's been losing 5 games a year? Could have swore I saw some stats somewhere on here that had him doing better than that.

You idiots seriously expected Cowher and now you're dreams are shattered. Tough shit.

12/7/2006 1:38:03 AM

agree....better than PJ

12/7/2006 1:38:19 AM

maybe TOB can put shit in check with the talent that Amato has left behind

12/7/2006 1:38:19 AM

Look at it this way...Our team had enough TALENT alone to beat his team.

Our team ended 3-9....his team ended 9-3. See what I did there?

12/7/2006 1:41:02 AM

^^^^ on point

boo hoo, no cowher

big god damn deal, i never ever for a nanosecond thought we were gonna get him in the first place

[Edited on December 7, 2006 at 1:41 AM. Reason : .]

12/7/2006 1:41:26 AM

y'all are forgetting the fact that we beat BC this year because TOB was too stupid to kick the field goal and win the game.

plus, y'all are forgetting that BC fans are happy to be rid of this over paid klutz

[Edited on December 7, 2006 at 1:44 AM. Reason : .]

12/7/2006 1:43:29 AM

^Their kicker missed a fucking PAT and now you want him to kick a 30-yarder under pressure to win a game on the road?

Im am glad you are not coaching.

12/7/2006 1:44:34 AM

and you are forgetting the fact that...

chuck ran the god damn option with marcus stone on 4th and 1 and got stuffed once

chuck punted on 4th and 2 inches in UNC territory at kenan

oh wait, he wears sunglasses at night..what a bad ass!!

12/7/2006 1:45:09 AM

maybe it has something to do with the overblown expectations of the few typical boston sports fans that followed BC?

I'll take a game away from the ACC Championship game over taking another risk.

12/7/2006 1:45:56 AM

I'd rather be 1-11 for two years than 7-5 for six years.

12/7/2006 1:46:55 AM

too bad he hasnt gotten under 8 wins in the past 6 seasons

12/7/2006 1:47:50 AM

if he is really our coach...go PACK and go TOB..dont care who it is...always be state fan

"But O'Brien, 58, had grown frustrated in recent seasons because the Eagles could not attract much fan support in a city preoccupied by its professional sports teams. In each of the last two seasons, after the Eagles left the Big East Conference for the ACC, they were passed over in the ACC's bowl pecking order because of the school's inability to sell tickets for bowl games. The Eagles finished 9-3 (5-3 ACC) this season and are ranked No. 23 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. Boston College was in contention to win the ACC's Atlantic Division until losing to Miami 17-14 in its regular-season finale on Nov. 23. The Eagles finished second in their division, behind Wake Forest, but still fell to sixth in the bowl selections. Instead of selecting the Eagles, the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando chose Maryland and the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl in Nashville picked Clemson. Each of those teams also finished 5-3 in ACC play but lost to Boston College during the regular season."
