pretty much go to

for some good laughs. I saw Jay Wright Calipari, Billy Donovan, Brad Stevens, Shaka Smart and Greg Marshall in there already. Keep in mind most of those were on their supposed list last time.

State fans can be fanatical. However, those names were on the list for one reason - to cajole money out of boosters. A technique that worked very well by the way.

At this point I believe the only two jobs Marshall will return to the Carolinas for are in Chapel Hill and Durham.

If you believe the rumors that were floating around when he was at Winthrop he would have crawled naked to Columbia from Rock Hill but someone with some power at South Carolina didn't want him and they hired Dave Odum, then Darrin Horn. When they fired Horn he was supposedly contacted but they couldn't beat what Wichita State was giving him so they hired Frank Martin and word is that door is now closed forever.

If true (and I have no reason to doubt you) that would be one of the dumbest decisions in the history of Gamecock athletics.

Quote:So congrats, NC State fans.
You got what you wanted.
But also know this: You made it clear 11 years ago that Herb Sendek making five straight NCAA Tournaments wasn’t good enough -- proof being how you nudged him to Arizona State. And now you’ve also made it clear that Mark Gottfried going to four NCAA Tournaments in a six-year span that included two Sweet 16s isn’t good enough either. And the only coach you had in between those two coaches is Sidney Lowe, who never finished better than ninth in a 12-school ACC.

Which leads to two questions:

1) What are you after?
2) Are you sure you can get it?

Quote:Either way, I’ll leave you with this ...
Mark Gottfried and Jim Larranaga got hired 17 days apart at NC State and Miami back in 2011. When this season is over, Gottfried will have made four NCAA Tournaments and two Sweet 16s. And he got fired two days after Valentine’s Day. Meantime, even if Larranaga makes the NCAA Tournament this season, his first six years at Miami will amount to three NCAA Tournament appearances and, more than likely, two Sweet 16s. And Larranaga has a contract through 2022 that nobody has even thought of buying out. He couldn’t be more comfortable in Coral Gables.

Two men.

Two ACC jobs.
