Now that we have our man Keatts, hopefully it will be 20 years before we have to hear the media again speculate on the value of the NC State coaching job relative to other schools. Their misinformed notions:
· Our fan base has unreal expectations (I do expect to win the ACC more than once every 30 years)
· NC State Athletic Directors (ADs) do not give coaches the chance to succeed (Gary Williams, anyone?)
· NC State ADs do not allow the time necessary to build an elite program (even Google doesn’t provide a timeline)
We heard it a nauseating number of times from Bilas, Patrick, Gminski, etc.
