Link to J.P. Giglio’s twitter account. Arizona’s Sean Miller and Texas A&M’s Mark Turgeon are the top two names in the search Read BJD95’s earlier entry on Turgeon here. Mark Turgeon – Probably should have been our “B List†hire the last time. Now, after some great work at Texas A&M (Wichita State before that), […]
Coaching Carousel
Lowe resigns(J.P. Giglio); Decock: NC State needs to pursue Brad Stevens
This is both a sad and exciting day for the NC State community. All the authors of Statefansnation would like to thank Sidney Lowe and his staff for their efforts over the last 5 years. We also wish them the best in the future. Credit goes to rswilli2(poster from www.Packpride.com for this shot of Mr. […]
Tubby to Arkansas?
Link here. Gillispie has also had informal contact about the jobs at Arkansas and just-opened Oklahoma. The source said, however, that Arkansas has already had face-to-face contact with and is close to hiring Minnesota coach Tubby Smith. Other Tubby links: Katz says Tubby could return to the SE. Tubby staying at Minnesota.
Sean Miller with Jim Rome – sound familiar?
Please take a few minutes to watch this entire video posted this week on ESPN of Jim Rome’s interview with Sean Miller. Now take a moment to mentally replace the word “Arizona” with the words “North Carolina State”, reflect on that for a second, and then see what you think. The two are completely and […]
Mark Turgeon – A “Below the Radar” Homerun?
During the first half of conference play, the SFN community started seriously talking about coaching prospects. My main contribution: Mark Turgeon – Probably should have been our “B List” hire the last time. Now, after some great work at Texas A&M (Wichita State before that), I put him on the “A List.” He’s a former […]
Yow’s preference and Paul Hewitt’s departure from Georgia Tech
Given her druthers, you will see Debbie Yow attempt to find ways to prolong the announcement of Coach Lowe’s imminent departure from NC State for as long as she can. As we alluded to in this conversation, NC State would like as little time – and therefore media attention -to exist between Lowe’s ‘official’ departure […]
Katz: Sendek most intriguing name who isn’t in trouble, NC State job one of the best in the country
I have been waiting for the national talking heads to push Herb Sendek for open coaching positions and believe it or not someone is stepping up to the plate: From Andy Katz: 9. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune quoted Tubby Smith as saying he’s staying put at Minnesota. He should. He needs to continue to rebuild the […]
My Personal Vision For an Orderly and Civilized Transition
I don’t think it will surprise anyone to hear that Sidney Lowe’s 5th season coaching the North Carolina State Wolfpack will be his last. I honestly don’t think anyone with an IQ above room temperature would dispute that statement. Ordinarily, there would be lots of fire and brimstone when a coach is clearly in the […]
Byting a busy Sunday
Lots of stuff going on worth discussing. Philip Rivers finishes the season as the NFL’s most prolific passer with more than 4,700 yards. Rivers and NC State’s Adrian Wilson both made the Pro Bowl this year and was discussed in this entry that includes some interesting conference analysis. Wonder how much Wolfpackers care about […]
The Lee Fowler Era: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Part 3 (The Ugly)
Now that June 30, 2010 has come and gone, North Carolina State has officially parted ways with its athletic director of the past 10 years, Lee Fowler. The past 10 years have been wrought with many more downs than ups, but we want to take some time to look back at the entire Lee Fowler […]
