Restructured Gott and Avent's contracts: http://www.wralsportsfan.com/ncsu/story/11575795/
Increase in supplemental compensation for Gott moves him from 9th to 3rd in the ACC. 9/21/2012 1:26:50 PM |

Quote : | "Gottfried's annual salary remains at $750,000. His supplemental compensation was increased from $450,000 to $1.2 million, which moves him from ninth to third among the 12 ACC men's basketball head coaches in annual guaranteed compensation. The term of his contract remains unchanged through April of 2018, after having been automatically extended two years by virtue of the Pack’s Sweet 16 appearance last March." |
this is a waste of money w/o increasing his buyout.
fuck, i'd give him another $1m/year to put a no-ucla clause in his contract.
and has she nixed the stupid shorts yet? b/c i'm mad at her until she nixes those stupid shorts.

Since he still had 6 years left on his contract, maybe he wasn't willing to negotiate a buyout.
Either way, keeping a coach happy who has us in position to be preseason conference favorites for the first time in 20+ years is a good call. Adding a couple million to a buyout clause wouldn't deter UCLA and wouldn't leave us in a much better position even if he left.9/22/2012 1:07:16 AM |

I'm not sure we really want a huge buyout for Gottfried anyway. It looks like sunshine and rainbows right now for the future of the program, but 3 years from now could look very different. Maybe staff turnover and the daily grind of coaching a high major program catches up to him after a couple years, I certainly hope that doesn't happen but you have to look at that as a realistic possibility, especially given how his tenure ended at Alabama. 9/22/2012 1:22:24 AM |

She also get a bump for the continued success of the Volleyball program.
13-1 and have beaten UNC, Duke, and Wake in the same season for the first time in school history. I'm pretty sure we had a 40+ conference game losing when I was in school. 3-0 so far this season. 9/22/2012 1:32:59 AM |

Quote : | "NC State inaugurates Hall of Fame
Raleigh, N.C. — Legendary coaches, national champions and record holders made up the first class to enter North Carolina State University's Athletic Hall of Fame.
The university celebrated its first group of honorees Friday night in a ceremony at Reynolds Coliseum.
They are:
Kay Yow: In a 34-year career at NC NC State, Yow's women's basketball team compiled 680 wins, 20 NCAA Tournament appearances, 11 Sweet Sixteens and went to the 1998 Final Four. She also led Team USA to gold medals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 1986 World University Games in Moscow.
Jim Valvano: The coach's jubilant celebration after winning the 1983 NCAA men's basketball tournament is on of the most memorable moments in Wolfpack sports history. His teams won the ACC regular-season title in 1985 and 1989. They won the ACC Tournament in 1983 en route to that fairy-tale national title and again in 1987.
Everett Case: Case's men's basketball teams won nine conference championships in 10 years. He coached from 1946 to 1964.
David Thompson: The Shelby, N.C., native led the Wolfpack to the 1974 NCAA men's basketball championship after winning ACC titles in 1973 and '74. He towering talent made him one of the first college basketball players to elevate the game and play above the rim.
Julie Shea: A seven-time national champion in cross country, Shea is perhaps the school’s most decorated female athlete.
In recorded comments, Shea told Friday's gathering that when she heard State would create a Hall of Fame she just hoped to be considered. The still-spry Shea kicked off her shoes and ran across the stage to accept her honor.
Tab Ramos: The soccer player was a three-time All American who went on to a 13-year professional career.
Genia Beasley: The first women's basketball player to amass 2,000 points, the Benson, N.C., native played for early Kay Yow teams that went 59-0 against other North Carolina teams and 46-4 in Reynolds Coliseum from 1977 to 1980.
Ted Brown: The tailback, a member of the Class of 1978, holds the ACC records for rushing and scoring.
Jim Ritcher: The Wolfpack center won the 1979 Outland Trophy as the best college football interior lineman in the nation and played in four Super Bowls.
"I feel a little unworthy about being in the first class," Ritcher said. "I'm just thrilled about it and my family's thrilled about it."
Roman Gabriel: As Wolfpack quarterback, Gabriel was a two-time All-American in 1960 and ’61 and the NFL's MVP in 1969. "Everything that I did both on and off the field I credit to my education," Gabriel said.
The Hall of Fame inductees will greet fans in the Fan Zone outside Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday before the Wolfpack plays Florida State. They will then be honored at halftime.
WRAL-TV sports anchor Jeff Gravley served at emcee for the evening." |

I mean...I'm 50/50 on the firing of TOB, but I'm 100% in support of having the cojones to do it and not fuck around. If you know you're going to do it, then go ahead and do it. That's exactly what she did.
TOB was going to retire after next year anyways...so might as well do it now.
Big +1 to that.
Now lets see who she can get to coach here. I think we're going to have to spend A TON of money. 11/25/2012 1:47:16 PM |

I guess the good thing was that, as far as I know, TOB had a pretty low contract amount so now we should have money to replace him. Not to mention all the deals Yow has been making to get us extra money... 11/25/2012 1:52:28 PM |

Quote : | "“I think being mediocre is boring,” Yow said in a recent telephone interview. “It’s a disservice to the university as well. It’s a disservice to anybody who contributes to athletics. I don’t think people say, ‘Gee, let me make a gift to Wolfpack athletics, because I think they’re going to be mediocre.’ So I don’t make any apologies for expecting worth and movement toward excellence in each of our sports.”
“I’d rather shoot high and fail than shoot low and cover ourselves,” she said. “I don’t want to celebrate being number 40 or number 35, I just can’t! So we’re going to go for it.”" |
