They ran out Herb Sendek for much less, and I don't think they've re-calibrated their expectations since that era. 5 straight NCAA Tournament appearances with 5 NCAA Tournament wins and a Sweet 16 run, plus four top-4 finishes in the ACC in that span, wasn't good enough.

Keatts is more likable than Sendek but that can wear thin quickly without results.

Was just talking to my boss who is a grad, big time donor and season ticket holder. He thinks at least 2 more years and he'd have to really suck with the recruits he has coming in.

If they lose to Carolina again this year, and miss the tournament, he's going to be on the hot seat next year. Honestly, if they lose to Carolina twice THIS year, without a S16 run, their fans arent' going to be happy. He's also reporting to an AD that didn't hire him...if he misses the tournament next year, I can see him getting fired.

State fans are a bit delusional when it comes to Carolina and beating them because the fact is they don't and it's not close in terms of being a rivalry. I don't think he should be judged based on beating Carolina but it is a fact that the base does. Right now they are in trouble with Louisville next I think it could be tough sledding. Might not make the NCAA at all.

While i agree with everything you say, losing to UNC this year is a much bigger deal than most years. Most years it's a "quality loss" this year, notsomuch.
I posted a "general ACC Talk" thread so we don't derail this thread further
