Ran across this tweet yesterday that I thought was interesting. Has Russell Wilson ever used the phrase “kicked out” re: Tom O’Brien before? http://t.co/LM9QmRPWod pic.twitter.com/TiGotFfjWr — Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) April 18, 2015 The link to the entire article is available here. Look, I love Russell Wilson as much as anyone. And, do I ever wish […]
Tom O’Brien
Sophomore Jinx? (Coaching Edition)
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that we are under 48 hours (under 36 actually…took me longer to get around to posting this than I thought) until Wolfpack Football kicks off the ’14 campaign and attempts to rid itself of the collective taste left from ’13. With all of the recent rehashing […]
Mack Brown = Tom O’Brien?
Ok…maybe not. But the similarities in the way they left their programs are not as stark as one might imagine. As if the lack of talent on the Wolfpack roster wasn’t obvious enough to all who endured the awful 2013 season, the 2014 NFL Draft surely did little to indicate that Debbie Yow did anything […]
The Case For Mike Glennon
Mike Glennon sat behind Russell Wilson for two seasons. His career through his Redshirt Sophomore year was an enigma. No one in #WPN knew really what was behind the scenes. He was 33 for 52 with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. When Russell Wilson decided to try out his baseball luck and forego spring practice, […]
Former NC State head coaches hired, fired in state of Virginia
It’s been an interesting few weeks related to respected former NC State Head Football coaches. First, the Wolfpack’s head man for the last six years, Tom O’Brien, accepted a job at the University of Virginia that saved NC State a million dollars in buyout. It was a GREAT move by the Cavaliers to land TOB […]
November Looms
Many of us have been discussing the Carolina loss and what it means for this season and TOB’s future. Please don’t mistake me for a staunch TOB supporter, but after giving it some thought, I’m not ready to fire him just yet. I’m willing to see how November plays out first because at 5-3 (2-2), […]

Sports Illustrated Preview: Pack #25
Two weeks from right now hopefully we’re all waking up happy about the previous night’s score. SI.com: Three years ago, NC State’s secondary was in shambles. His hand forced by injuries and departures, coach Tom O’Brien plugged a pair of first-year players in at safety: true freshman Brandan Bishop and redshirt freshman Earl Wolff. Another […]

N&O: TOB evaluates first scrimmage
N&O: O’Brien enjoyed watching quarterback Mike Glennon throw against the first-team secondary. In 75 plays, the offense scored two touchdowns, both on passes. The defense, which had 27 interceptions last season, picked off two passes in the scrimmage. O’Brien said Glennon and the secondary are improving. “(The secondary) is operating at a high level, which […]
