I feel like I have a different standard of what makes a search successful or unsuccessful than most of the internet or something. People are all in a frenzy over how awesome Yow is because this search has been so secret, and maybe that's less messy or whatever, but it's obvious at this point that we aren't going to end up with anyone that Fowler couldn't have gotten. And if you're operating at Fowler levels of success, I don't know how it can be anything but an abject failure. 3/31/2011 2:27:06 PM |

Obvious to who?
And how?
If you've got no clue about who the coaching candidates are, then you've got no space to make this comment. Get over the Chicken Little shit, brah.3/31/2011 2:33:40 PM |

Well here's what we know: Everyone besides Calipari, Smart, Stevens, Calhoun, Marshall, and Grant that we want to contact has probably been contacted. None of them has taken the job by now, so it's safe to say they're not going to. Which means that someone out of that bunch is the best option we have left. Calipari, Stevens, and Calhoun definitely aren't coming. Grant just got to Alabama a couple years ago and our job isn't that big a step up, so he's probably out. Which most likely leaves Smart as the best possible option we have right now. I wouldn't be upset with Smart, but go any lower on the coaching totem pole and we really aren't making a great hire relative to what we have to offer in terms of money, facilities, recruiting base, etc. At this point it's got to be Smart or this coaching search is going to be looked back on as a failure. 3/31/2011 2:45:39 PM |

What are the odds this is just another clownshoes search and it wasn't Fowler but rather someone else who's still around that was responsible for Lowe?

If we're already looking at Greggg, we could hire Dave Odom instead for cheaper. At least Odom won a conference championship here a couple times.
Otherwise, I foresee the same outcome for us that he had at South Carolina. 3/31/2011 3:31:20 PM |

Quote : | "@ArmstrongWTVD: Just received email directly from NCSU Sr Assoc AD Chris Kingston. Re: the Pastner stuff et al. I'll just put it all in one supersized tweet "As Senior Associate Athletic Director at State and member of the head men's basketball coach search committee, I wanted to pass along the following about the process.
A number of talented Division I coaches have indicated strong interest in the NC State men’s basketball coach position. As those conversations have occurred, coaches have naturally inquired about the potential compensation commitment of State, as would occur in any type of job search. Responding to those compensation questions is not the equivalent of “offering the job” to anyone. Instead, it is simply sharing information that reflects the commitment of State to the men’s basketball program." " |

^^ Grant was a Donovan Assistant. Not sure why he has fallen out of the discussion lately, but he would be a better hire than Smart IMO.
Grant Smart Mack (if he would leave Xavior) some assistant noone has heard of from a proven coach ... turgeon ... marshall
I'd rather take my chances with someone who has no experience than go after someone who has simply been good to ok his entire career and has a body of work to show it. 3/31/2011 5:31:14 PM |
