The only surprise in the firing of Mike Gottfried from NC State was the timing. With only a few weeks left in the season, NC State made Gottfried’s lame duck status official.
The list of names possible for NC State range from the obvious: Archie Miller. To the jump before pushed: Tom Crean. To the absurd: Greg Marshall or Chris Mack. To other alum: Vinny Del Negro. To random natives of North Carolina: Kelvin Sampson.
The early word is that Archie Miller is not interested in NC State. Like his brother, the alma mater is in the past.
