No one would ever mistake me for a Brett Friedlander fan. (Take a look at last year’s embarassment by Brett to see why)
So, when someone who is historically such an apologist for a certain cause writes a piece like the one that Brett wrote last week, then everyone really needs to stand up and take notice.
You may have missed the piece since the Fayetteville Observer doesn’t get the kind of attention as the newspapers in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. But, make no mistake about the fact that none of those papers have found a way to express the feelings of the majority of NC State fans in their pages this year like Brett Friedlander has.
Friedlander succintly highlights many of the macro-deficiencies in the leadership/management of the direction of the NC State program without veering off topic at all. He writes a SUPER PIECE and hits so many nails on the head in this article that I don’t know where to begin. For example:
* He nails the of not setting high goals and standards (if any goals or standards even exist)
* He nails the “passive is as passive does” attitude of the coach and the players and the program.
* He nails the failures of the program on many fronts
I am going to paste Friedlander’s article as the first comment in the comments section of this entry because, much like this incredible piece from LAST YEAR, I don’t want to ever run the risk of losing it.
