Dan Wetzel – John Calipari the Perfect Coach For NC State

LINK.

Favorite excerpt:

That tale, the quintessential John Calipari story, is why he is the perfect coach for North Carolina State, and the Wolfpack know it. It is not because of who he would make happy (State alums), but who he would drive nuts, namely Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams.

That has to be what State really wants รขโ‚ฌโ€œ to be relevant, to be feared, to matter again to its local rivals, Duke and North Carolina. To get that, it has to have a coach who will get under the big two’s skin, wage war in the media, steal recruits and road wins, basically give the Wolfpack both the bark and the bite they’ve lacked.

Keep those fingers crossed!

    This just posted on an espn board thread.

    Fact or fiction?

    Just listend to Glenn on 850 again…

    Nothing new to report… but he said that he believes we’ll know the anwser today… possibly within the hour.

    he warned state fans that they might be in for a huge letdown.

    We should have just went for some mid-major coach to begin with and have gotten the pain over with. Now its just going to be that much worse.

  18. Jeremy Hyatt 04/11/2006 at 3:18 PM #

    if this doesn’t happen:

    next time, offer to 3 coaches at once, and the first one to buzz in , WINS!

  19. nav 04/11/2006 at 3:19 PM #

    This has been the most rediculous up/down 8 day emotional ride I have ever been a part of in sports…at least that I remember.

  20. JimmyVguy 04/11/2006 at 3:19 PM #

    If it is true that Calipari is not coming, here is might next group of guys on the wish list: (in no particular order)

    Mike Montgomery
    Sidney Lowe
    Jeff Ruland
    Jim Beilein
    Bobby Lutz
    Jeff Marshall

    I hope Calipari says yes to the Pack

    (first post): Site is Awesome… admins, I’ve been lurking for days now, any idea on the number of unique IP addresses hittin’ your site, so you might know ‘active posters’ as compared to ‘lurkers that read’.

    Created an account so I can get a T-shirt (mine would have to be extra tall) when you have them ready to sell.

    Ah, to bring back the good ‘ol days (I was a student in the early 80s… wow)
