actually have some hope, somthing to look forward to, some intrigue... some excitement as the coaching search starts up...


much better than just having more Chuck to look forward to in 9 months

what's exciting?

didnt you see what happened during the basketball search?

wouldn't you expect the same garbage?

11/26/2006 9:42:44 PM

"its gonna look like a chinese market street when all the buckets come around"

11/26/2006 9:43:12 PM

yeah, but bball is just an amusing past time to make the football off season bareable... this is way more exciting, and as bad as it sounds, I think the football program could turn it around with the right coach much faster than the bball program could

11/26/2006 9:44:29 PM

this will be herb all over again

11/26/2006 9:44:43 PM

na, not at all

11/26/2006 9:49:14 PM

if I was a coach I would rather come here than Miami

that should help avoid a lot of the problems experienced during the bball search

fixed it for you, you're in NC now basketball is king

11/26/2006 9:53:09 PM

for now... but ask Wake what they are more excited about

11/26/2006 9:55:13 PM

^basketball. this is just an anomalous year for them.

11/26/2006 9:56:34 PM

bball is only king when football sucks


Hell, Florida won the national championship last year in ball, football is still #1

11/26/2006 9:58:14 PM

bball is king in NC, I don't claim to know anything about anywhere else in the country

11/26/2006 10:02:30 PM

actually football was king here until the 40-50s

11/26/2006 10:03:27 PM

Bob Holliday just reported on WRAL that Chuck Neinas will be conducting the search for State. Should be interesting since he is currently helping Miami as well.

bit of a conflict of interest ?

college football is older than college basketball, eg the first NCAA tourney wasn't until 1939
football had college clubs and rivalries before basketball was even officially invented, it would only be natural it had a head start, but thats besides the point that basketball is currently king in NC

11/26/2006 10:09:57 PM

^ for the most part true, but the college teams were started around the same time, and was just showing that bball wasnt always king...

11/26/2006 10:11:30 PM

well we have a bit of a quandry then since fball and bball both suck

11/26/2006 10:13:11 PM

hahah quandry needs to be used more

and how, exactly, will that help us get a contract with a reasonable amount of guaranteed money (for a good coach) through the Board of Governor's...

we're not UNC here, we don't get exemptions to that policy whenever we want one, sure it'll be harder for them to turn us down now (unless they turn down Butch Davis, because then it'll be 2 exemptions granted for unc, none for the rest of the schools in the state), but they'll probably still do it...

modern football could be said to start 1884 when the colleges started using a standardized rule set, however there are older games of psuedo football played by colleges as early as 1869 (Rutgers and Princeton) where as basketball was only invented in 1891

11/26/2006 10:19:18 PM

^^ i think you completely missed what pilgrimshoes was referring to.

but gg! on finding an excuse to whine about UNC and the BoG already

11/26/2006 10:27:22 PM

I meant in NC... I know that college football in general is older than college football in general... but that is doesnt even matter because thats not the point

11/26/2006 10:27:31 PM

^^ gotta get it out of the way now... make sure that when we start getting turned down by coaches because we can't negotiate an adequate contract people know who they should blame...

and the lackluster contracts we were forced to offer were a part of the problems in our last coaching search, ignoring them and putting the whole blame on fowler is just misguided...

11/26/2006 10:52:02 PM

why does this always happen over holidays and all, seems like the Herb fiasco was over a break as well
