Dan Wetzel – John Calipari the Perfect Coach For NC State

LINK.

Favorite excerpt:

That tale, the quintessential John Calipari story, is why he is the perfect coach for North Carolina State, and the Wolfpack know it. It is not because of who he would make happy (State alums), but who he would drive nuts, namely Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams.

That has to be what State really wants – to be relevant, to be feared, to matter again to its local rivals, Duke and North Carolina. To get that, it has to have a coach who will get under the big two’s skin, wage war in the media, steal recruits and road wins, basically give the Wolfpack both the bark and the bite they’ve lacked.

Keep those fingers crossed!

    Reynolds would rock, agree, great memories of that place. Would be cool if it happened while the hockey game is on – place would rattle and roll

    dang, I actually saw that movie and didn’t recognize it.

    That’s what a lack of sleep will do to you.

    Anyone have any contacts in the real estate business? I mean, there’s can’t be TOO many houses for sale in the range that you’d expect someone who’s making around 2 mil a year to look for.

    I’m just speculating like the rest… but I feel much better now that Cal has come to Raleigh.

    so okay guys…just to take our minds off of things for a little while…if he ends up staying, who is our next target?….is Wright still in the picture?…no to Brady…..seriously, where would we go?

    you’re kidding right? Take my mind of this? it would be to heart-wrenching to have to start all of this over marathon.

    I’m going to go see if my office has one of those paddle things they use to jumpstart your heart, just in case……

  13. monte kiffin 04/11/2006 at 2:02 PM #

    i dont know marathon….thats all we would need to get egg on our face, to have Cal turn us down too….Gawd, i dont even want to think of the possibilities…..bad thoughts….very bad

    LOL!!!

    Personally, Cal is the last, best choice. Beyond him, I say forget the big bucks and go find a decent up-and-comer. You would be wasting money to invest heavily in anything that is left.

    Is Herb’s tie on straight?

  24. MikeMc_92 04/11/2006 at 2:04 PM #

    Wow! That article really says it all. I’m feeling a little choked up, and I can almost imagine how happy I’ll be when Cal comes to Raleighwood!!

    The next candidates are all a BIG step down. I can’t even get my mind to think about it – too depressing.

    I honestly don’t know of any reason to be panicked – we all just wish the process would speed up.
