It’s not only that we lose but how we lose. We are so far off the pace with our play and organization it’s sick.
Minus another 1983 run at a championship, Gott has to be toast for next year in Raleigh. Then again we are NC State so who knows, we may extend his contract lol.
Truly at a loss for words. The evidence is all there and even the signed confession. If a change isn’t made we may never be able to dig out. DSJ is long gone after this year and the transfers will happen. Assistant coaches will leave while they have a chance as well. So sad.
I think some of Gott’s rotations and game strategy reminds me of something….Mmmm what is it? Oh, grab a handful of poo and throw it at the wall to see if it sticks. It’s still $hit not matter what it does.
We lost by 51 to the Holes just in case that slipped anyone’s mind. The same team that struggled against Pitt last night. Lost big to the better teams and lost decent to weak teams. Squeezed by no name teams earlier in the season. Everyone head to Char Grill to chill with Anya after the game.
Good point. Let’s just get it done and someone with a pair make a big time hire. Of course we have to find the money 1st that doesn’t exist.
I only suggested Lutz for the same reason. A placeholder to get who we want or get the money right for the next guy.
Adventuroo, thanks for the financial summary and also bringing a severe level of this situation really SUCKS to this Monday morning. Good gosh are we in an awful place for managing a contract change. Obviously Gott has the perfect setup from his standpoint.
Maybe we could let Gott go and bring back Lutz as an interim coach. Lick our wounds for a little while from such a major financial debacle and be in position to make a better offer to Archie or whomever. I’m really afraid of the reality that we are simply not in a financial situation to let Gott go. This is sad on so many levels…..We simply suck. It’s hard to sit back and not be angry but what choice do I have. How many double digit years have we been dealing with mediocrity at best now? Exactly…..
I was looking at the AD situation like a job I guess. Say if you’re interviewing for a “better” job but had a solid gig already. If I new going into the interview/offer that the boss I would be working for would change over the next year or two I might give some thought to risk vs reward. I’m not saying it should influence the decision totally but it has to cross your mind. Especially if you are a coach in demand. Maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way. I would have to wonder what if the next AD is a toolbag to work for. Doesn’t matter if I call the shots in reality, I would still like to have someone I respect working along my side with the same vision for success and how to obtain it.
Either way we need to be putting some plans in place soon for a coaching change.
Gott….See ya. Thanks for the marketing and recruiting efforts. We must find an actual coach.
I know everyone was excited about the Duke win (I was just because I thought it might be a spark) but Duke is a very weak team at the current moment. Heck they only lucked up at WF and were dominated in that game also. Something must happen in the change department and it must happen THIS year! The big problem in all of this equation is Debbie Yow. She is close to retirement and regardless of whether she can conduct another coaching search. What coach would come to NCSU not knowing who the next AD will be?
A few things I have to say to feel better today….
1) Good win on the road and a confidence builder. Duke was absolutely horrible last night but it was still a positive for us. Proud of the team.
2) The Gottfried effect can now begin it’s normal progression. A little hot streak with a few unexpected wins to possible squeak to a post season.
My 11yr old Daughter told me right after the game “Dad it looks like coach Gott’s win tonight may have helped him keep the coaching job”. Then she followed with an even more profound statement “it’s OK Dad, that’s what normally happens every year with the Wolfpack”. True story…..Kids have a way of bringing light to the situation.
Honestly I can’t get mad over the officiating at the end. If it weren’t for some luck with 3 pointers we would have not had a chance. Team decided to play basically the last 1:30 of the game. For the most part we were never in control the entire game at HOME against Wake Freaking Forest. Another completely wasted 2hrs of my time on a Saturday. I just want it over and move on. This crap and inconsistent accomplishments in Raleigh are way overdue for change. Drain the swamp.
We set up an awful contract obligation with him. He is going to keep smiling because win loose or draw he’s getting a nice pay day the next 3 years. Good gosh can we EVER land a decent Coach to compete in the top 4 of the ACC? I really don’t think so anymore. We should just hire a high school coach and put the money towards football or badminton.
We will probably win this one as we should. Dumpster flames will be burning hot regardless of a W or an L on this one. If we loose by double digits then Gott’s fate is a done deal. If we win then we can continue to be confused about whether someone will have any balls to can him. Go pack
Although the “outburst” was unprofessional, I could certainly see the positive side of the coin with it. I didn’t think much about it really other than it was NOT professional. However, the problem with that interview was the fact he chose to compliment his team’s Defense & Offense when in fact that both sucked donkey balls. That’s what pissed me off about the interview. He chose to brag on the positive when in fact there wasn’t anything positive discuss.
Roo, great post. Really good information there.
After watching his post game outburst I’m wandering if he was even present during the BC game? The comments about them playing strong defensively and executing the offense well were way off. The defense was awful with multiple pick and roll plays by BC (basic middle school type plays cutting down the middle) and the offense looked the same to me, your basic mess with little to very little organization. BC is not a strong team Gott. That’s not to say they can’t be I guess but that’s not why we lost. I don’t know what’s going on but it ain’t good. The results on the court are awful really and YES we do have talent.
What a battle with the powerhouse known as BC! Just too much talent on that BC team for us to squeak one out. Don’t worry guys a 51 point loss followed by an 8 point loss to a very bad BC team is a learning experience! I know I learned a few things myself. The dumpster fire is burning strong and Gott is making his relocation process much easier as time goes by.
Awful game and performance against a bad BC team. I say that but then again they were 8 points better of a team than we are.
51 point loss to the TarHoles. Again, 51 freaking points! I don’t know why I kept watching but I did. Every year my kids tell me it’s OK because we’ve never been good. They say you will get an upset or two every year. My kids aren’t Wolfpack fans and I’m in a house divided by blue. It’s sickening but kids like winner’s. It’s a simple fact. I/we say they cheat, they’re pricks eating wine and cheese, no institutional control, blah blah. ALL TRUE but in the end we still suck a lot more than we should. That’s what gets me. Sure we may make a run at tournament time and get our hopes up. Another bubble year of mediocrity is what I see. Has Gott put us in a better position overall? Absolutely but he has been paid well for it and we continue to level out at where we are every year. Every year our talent seems to get better (he’s a good recruiter no doubt) but the net result remains the same on the court. Sorry but this Jeckyl and Hide basketball game play year to year sucks. His defense still sucks donkey balls and the offense normally resembles the And1 mix tape games minus the players to make it happen. A hot streaky team is what we are on a good night/day but most days we are a poorly organized team with so many lazy tendencies. How many times were shooters left WIDE open with huge spacing? Our bigs barely move (especially Anya who obviously has missed a year of hard work).
Gott has moved the needle to a better place no doubt but that doesn’t mean he gets the “better than the last guy” treatment every freaking year. We are pretty stagnant with a talented group of players, again. They are kids and it’s hard I understand. However, everyone has the same kids to deal with and they’re many Coaches (heck most of the ACC coaches) who find a way to work through the “kids and attitude” issues. Again, 51 point loss that you paid for and at the wonderful blue $hit dome. Soap box removed…..
