This might piss some of you off…
This easy going crowd?
One thing about Gott, I believe that HE believes that he (we) can go toe-to-toe with the recent and/or traditional powers in the ACC. That may not seem like much, but there is value there to not be disregarded.
Is that 2 or 3 well thrown balls they’ve dropped today? You simply can’t waste accurate deep throws from JB.
Should I interpret from your various posts that you’re not too high on JB’s passing skills?
^^ Amen; and ^ Amen.
We have a good coaching staff, good veteran players, and good incoming players. I am excited for this season and have high hopes. And I certainly don’t give a sh!t if anyone criticizes me for that!
“No, because it’s been so bad already. It can’t be any worse than it is,” he said.
i.e. “Last year was like Katrina for us”.
He is such a Grade A Douche Bag.
Any reason why this opinion can’t be incorp’ed into Alpha’s storyline?
Ya know…keep the flow…serve your purpose, too?
All you had to do was ask who runs this place, he’d make sure you knew that.
When I read the title I thought we were going to see photos of Gott taking a nap in an airport.
Or hear that Jamie Dixon was tweeting him advice on NCAAT success.

Gott is paid as a ‘next tier’ coach. For those among us whom are proposing that Gott is such a liability:
Do you propose that NC State should open up the bank for an “HOF level” coach? If so, do you think that the return on investment (ROI) will justify paying that coach around $3 Million? If so, which coaches on the list – that don’t make more than that already – would you feel worthy of such pay, if they were willing to move?
Which coaches on the ‘next tier’ list do you consider to be clearly superior coaches to Gott? Assuming a coach would need to see a ~20% raise to make a move, do you feel like the ROI would justify making a change? [Note: The coaches that have already changed jobs were left in to complete the data set for relative salaries.]
If the lists can be viewed as at least being representative of “Tier 1” and “Tier 2”: Do you feel that NC State is clearly receiving less ROI than other schools?
