Throughout the history of its football program, NC State has had it’s share of good, bad, and downright average coaches. Lou Holtz, Dick Sheridan, and Bo Rein all found great success while leading the Wolfpack. Tom Reed couldn’t get the thing out of reverse. Mike O’Cain finished just one game over .500 and made only three bowl games over seven seasons as the head man.
But I’m here to talk about a coach who couldn’t even match O’Cain’s “success”. A man who missed a bowl game in each of his three season. And I’m here to wonder if he got a raw deal when he and the school parted ways.
