Lets get serious for a moment. I’m a state graduate and I have followed the Pack every since I was 4 years old listening to Pack radio games with my Dad, also a State grad. I played ball just before Holtz came. So I would like to say that Dorian is just another sad coach in a long line of sad coaches that have come and gone from State. I email with Debbie from time to time and she told me back 4 years ago that O’Brien was going. Why? We both agreed that he was a great guy, but after 6 years it was clear he would never bring a championship to State, he would only give us 7 or 8 wins per season with some low rung bowl. She said she wanted a coach who could give state a championship. She hire Dorian but you get what you pay for and State has never been willing to pay for an established coach who has won championships. Maybe we can’t afford one but if we can’t then please don’t pretend we want a championship. I’ve been waiting 36 years for one and if you can hire a winner who can recruit because in the end, recruiting is the bottom line. Dave did ok last year but this year we don’t have a single 4 star must less a 5 star. I’ve heard the old story that we recruit for our style of play but it doesn’t wash after 36 years. If you can’t pay for a good coach you are forced to hire cheap coaches to support him. So if State is going to be serious than put up the bucks or just tell the fans to enjoy having all the others fans tell how you haven’t beaten a SEC team since 1999 and we have to play RPI teams below 100 just to get into a bowl with 6 or 7 wins. Samuels is a great player but totally under utilized. The fact Wake Forest has won a championship in the last 15 years just adds to the shame. One more season should do it for Dorian with a tougher schedule next year. I hate to write this note but I would just love to hear a sportswriter or Debbie Yow admit that we can’t win a championship doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I think they call it insanity and for myself I have had enough. God Bless the Pack!
