we've heard these excuses for 6+ years and will continue to hear them for years to come. the excuses stay the same, only the people making them change.

page3 needs the top-10

"1. Wait, just think how good we’ll be with all these great recruits coming in next year! 2. It’s not the coach’s fault the players miss the shots and turn the ball over. 3. You can’t blame the coach for injuries. 4. You can’t expect us to beat a ranked team. 5. NC State has been so down for so long that it takes longer than it did at Virginia, Georgia Tech, Clemson … 6. Just wait till we have the horses to run the Kentucky offense. 7. Dean Smith was hung in effigy in his third year, and Coach K didn’t make the NCAAs until his fourth! 8. Just because you fire a coach doesn’t mean you’ll get one better than the one you have now. 9. Firing Herb now only sets us back another three years or more. 10. Don’t give up! Don’t ever give up!"

if people are too stupid to see the program improving, then there's nothing i can say that will magically change that.

if julian vaughn and jamelle mcmillan both come here w/chris wright in 2007 it could be one of the best recruiting classes in nc state history. it would almost be duke/unc caliber, without espn doing the recruiting. seriously think about that for a second.

this thread needs a you people pic



you people do realize that you are the reason that no one would want to come here to coach, right? that may be the reason that herb and chuck are still around...cause they'll put up with your shit

The Hodge class was #2 in the country

This excuse is as old as Sendek's tenure at NC State, and it has consistently failed to validate itself when those great recruits wear NC State on their chests. Think of all the "impact" freshmen Sendek was supposed to have: Archie Miller, Adam Harrington, Damien Wilkins, Cliff Crawford, Scooter Sherrill … If you're having to resort to this excuse again next year, then not only have you missed the non-impact of those players, but you're blind to the non-impact of current freshmen, and this demonstrated lack of ability to detect a pattern is a distinct sign of stupidity.

Yes, no one would want to come coach here. As a matter of fact, when we hired Herb, he was the only one that applied. Now after 10 years and Herb being a millionaire despite nothing worthwhile to show for it, we're really not going to get anyone to apply

Lil' ole NC State. Bad fans

lol, the list is funny.

When it was written, we hadn't been to the tournament in a decade.

The next year we went.

Then we went every year since.

And there is no end in sight.

bad fans for letting a guy coach for ten years, make a million bucks a year, and fail to provide significant results, yea.

I've noticed that the demand on herb gets less and less every year. What the fuck?

This was from 2001? Damn. 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 ...

Insanity; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
