billay Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Front page this moning! Apparently the rumors are true. Wow, who would have thunk it? Can't say this is good for NC State. They're not likely to get a coach oh Herb's caliber. Becareful what you wish for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 It was time for a change, I like Herb and wish him well, but I'm ready for a new approach. NC State is a top 20 job, hell maybe top 15 in college hoops-the spot will be filled with someone qualified-hopefully Callipari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 .....hopefully Callipari. 1399655[/snapback] Those are high hopes. I would think that Callapari has some unfinished business at Memphis and would be surprised if he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Callipari is fools gold in my opinion. Of Course, you state folks are suckers for all-flash, no substance. Why is it, State fans would rather have a criminal than a class act? Do you realize how tough of a league this is? Why would somebody like Callipari want to come here and sully his (false IMHO) reputation as a winner? Rick Barnes struggled here, Pete Gillen struggled here. Who out there is going to come in a do a better job than Herb? You guys think finishing third in this league is tough to stomach? Let's see what you think in the years to come. My guess is, you guys will be luck to sniff third anytime in the next 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC-10 = Conference Of Champions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was once the storied program of the ACC-not UNC and not Duke. This program can attain those heights once again, but Herb had taken it as far as he could in the WolfPack Nations eye's. Rick Barnes(if he should come to State) stature is much more enhanced now at his tenure at Texas, and the difference between NC State and Clemson recruiting will alwys favor NC State. Barnes would be an awesome fit in Raleigh, but I understand your point of veiw, as Roy owned Herb . I, as an Alumni, won't be satisfied until we can honestly compete for ACC Crowns and Natl Titles again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNC and Duke have since rewritten that history and raised the bar a great deal. Do you think NC State is a better job than Texas? Why would Barnes want to leave (not to mention he was friends with Herb.) Aside from Barnes and Callipari, what names are the Wolfpack Faithful (a contradiction in terms) looking at?

billay Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Jay Wright of Villanova 1403616[/snapback] Jay Wright has gone 76 - 54 with 2 NCAA appearances during hie tenure at Villanova. That's faily equivalent to what Herb did and State fans ran Herb out of town. Besides, why would Wright want to leave Villanova for State?
