Page 2 says ncstatetke is the best troll ever.

And dear God let this be true. This search better start and end with Charlie Cobb.

"Are any other blogs/websites reporting it? Right now there is nothing on SFN unless it is in their forums. I can't check PP at work."

It was being discussed on both PackPride and SFN Forums yesterday...
Regardless, Im not going to party until I see the press conference.

Hopefully if this is happening, we have the next AD already lined up...would really hate to see us go through a long search only to get someone no better (or worse) than Fowler.

3/10/2010 12:02:29 PM

Worse than Fowler. Ha. Would read again. It conjures a mental image of still being last in conference and an AD out in front of Carter Finley with a wrecking ball.

March 16th was the actual date that was told earlier. Lets see.

3/10/2010 2:37:25 PM

What is that, like the day after the first round in the ACCT?

3/10/2010 2:40:54 PM

I've heard some rumblings as well from people, haven't heard about March 16th though. That would be more than awesome. Also the way that his daughter came up to me at that game and the things she said makes me think he won't be around much longer.

3/10/2010 2:42:12 PM

If March 16th is truly the day old Foul-up is fired, many bars, stores, and restaurants are going to need to get prepared for all of the celebrating that will be happening across North Carolina. Seriously if Lee Fowler is fired, I am getting hammered on a work night and I do not even drink anymore.

3/10/2010 3:06:48 PM

if they would wait til march 17th then we could have even more reason to get wasted drunk on st. pattys day

Lee_Fowler tweet earlier today:

Interesting tweet if you know who the fake Lee Fowler is .

3/10/2010 9:50:38 PM

i have a couple of sources inside the athletic department that have given me verifiable information

one of these sources is usually very reliable

i can say with absolute certainty that one day, lee fowler will no longer be AD

3/10/2010 9:55:51 PM

^naw dude ever seen weekend at bernies were gonna lee fowler that shit

3/10/2010 9:57:56 PM

"If Fowler is the AD, he gets credit/blame for all the hires he's made. Even if it was simple, Fowler is still the AD. And, we paid Neinas to help with the FB hire and O'Brien called Neinas. Springthorpe did well in his first season compared to the last coach. Harper did awesome in her first. Carter Jordan has had a mixed bag. Choboy resurrected the men's tennis team from basically nothing. The results of the Byrne/Stubbs hires were bad. That's my 30 second run-down, feel free to correct me wherever I'm wrong."

3/10/2010 10:32:46 PM

Herb and Lowe also went to the ACCT final in their first year.

Lets give her another year to be sure shes legit. Although shes still hot.

3/10/2010 10:35:52 PM

Why is SFN saying it's not Charlie Cobb???

It better be Cobb. I'm sorry but he is a better choice than Purcell.

Cobb already has experience. We don't need some n00b like we did with basketball.

Harper's team this year was much better in the regular season than either Herb or Lowe's first team. Those teams needed the ACC Tournament run just to make the NIT, whereas the women's team locked up an NCAA bid.

3/10/2010 10:42:26 PM

I wanna apply for the job. I'd make my moves based on what TWW thinks is best for the program.

Purcell isn't exactly a n00b at running a large organization with a lot of money.

He and Cobb would both be fine choices, although I really grow weary of people wanting to hire from "the family." Do a national search, and find the best person for the job.

3/10/2010 10:54:07 PM

^

3/10/2010 10:57:57 PM

I would see Cobb as an improvement, Purcell as status quo at best. I would have to agree that a national search is probably the best way to go.

Of course, Fowler will be here another 20 years so who cares

3/10/2010 11:18:13 PM

^dont say that its just a depressing thought

because there are four people that post to that twitter account.

When Lee 'retires' is there a chance that the fake Fowler people will reveal themselves to the world? I'd love to see the people behind the best comedy in modern times. Cobb would be an ideal AD, he's really improved App big time. Purcell would be good as well, but Cobb has the experience.

3/11/2010 12:30:52 AM

maybe fake fowler _is_ cobb.

I don't see how you could get a "bad replacement" its not like its a skill job. Anyone with experience at some small college could do it.

3/11/2010 7:50:27 AM

3/11/2010 8:20:27 AM

fowler is only "bad" because of his standards. Its not like he doesn't know how to run the athletics program. All it takes is higher standards to run a better program than fowler. He does everything else right.

Woodson eager to invigorate NCSU

http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/03/11/381548/woodson-eager-to-invigorate-ncsu.html

Quote :

"BY JAY PRICE - STAFF WRITER After heavy budget cuts from the state and an unprecedented leadership crisis last year, N.C. State University has become "risk averse," said incoming NCSU Chancellor Randy Woodson, vowing to jolt the university out of that defensive posture. Speaking to a group of News & Observer editors and writers Wednesday, Woodson said he'll lead a campuswide discussionover the next year about what directions the university should take, with an emphasis on lifting its national and international reputation. That would mean taking bold academic risks, he said, such as identifying colleges, schools or departments that will get more funding, even at the expense of others. "The grand challenges of society now - water, climate, energy - have science and technology issues that have to be resolved, and N.C. State is in a tremendous position to be among the leading institutions in the country that address those challenges. But we can't do that if we're not strong in engineering, the physicalsciences and mathematics," Woodson said. "So academic risk is when you step up in front of your colleagues, and put a stake in the ground and say, at the risk of offending another discipline, we're going to the next level in chemical engineering or we're going to the next level in molecular biology and the life sciences." Woodson won't officially start work until next month, but he has identified some other goals: among them, more than tripling the university's endowment to $1 billion. NCSU has one of the smallest endowments of any research-intensive, highly-ranked university in the nation, he said. The university's last major fundraising campaign was a success, but it focused on facilities rather than endowments to support faculty, scholarships and programs. In an era when state allocations are getting tighter, the endowment must be a high priority, he said. The university also must increase the size of its faculty, which Woodson said is simply too small given enrollment growth. By 2017, some projections predict NCSU could have close to 40,000 students, he said. "The size of the faculty relative to our competition and student enrollment, and the salaries of our faculty compared to our competition are two concerns right now," he said. Asked his views on the public university system's legislated 18 percent enrollment cap for out-of-state students, he said 9 percent or 10 percent of NCSU's freshmen come from outside North Carolina. "Do I think 18 percent makes sense?" he said. "I'd like to be there." It's important to serve North Carolina students, he said. But one way to serve them well is to expose them to the diversity of thought that outsiders bring. Newcomers can also be a long-term benefit to the state, because they're often fine additions to the population. "This is a great place to live, and you can recruit talent here you wouldn't have otherwise.""

3/11/2010 8:32:50 AM

god, i would love for woodson to come in and fire lee fowler as a symbolic gesture that he does not accept poor performance or low expectations.
