With the end of the Gottfried era at NC State, Debbie Yow has to move quickly to hire a coach. Firing season is coming soon – State is just the first major job open – and the last two three searches have ended up with a vastly unpopular coach, a beloved figure who had never coached in college, and a guy who was fired from his last job, at Alabama, in January 2009.
That’s progress of a sort but not the kind anyone wants.
So where does this all leave State?
Well it depends on your perspective.
