NC State Wants To Fire You
Well it’s only been a few weeks since NC State fired a coach, and with no bowl game to be excited about, no more crops to harvest, no tractor pulls in town because of the holidays, and no desire to go see the basketball team play for fear Sidney Lowe might eat them, Wolfpack fans are bored and looking for something to do.
And what better way to spread some holiday cheer than by doing what State Fans do best? That’s right: cry for a coach to be fired… even if it’s not their own coach.
Yahoo news is reporting that NC State is considering firing Boston College coach Tom O’Brien.
Man, State Fans must be really wearing on AD Lee Fowler. That guy’s just firing everybody now to keep himself from being fed into the combine at the next Hog Show / Booster Meeting. Tough gig.
Oh well, when State Fans inevitably show Fowler the door, maybe he can hire himself out as a professional Coach Terminator. He has enough practice at it.
If that doesn’t work out, maybe he can get a job on “The Apprentice”
Why would Tom O’Brien leave Boston College for NC State? Is that really a step up? Maybe it’s some community service thing he’s got to do. Or maybe he wants to trade being around whiny Red Sox fans for being around whiny Wolfpack fans. I don’t know.
Mike, you are so right.
Maybe we should start calling them the "Wolfpack and Cheese" crowd!!!
So, Jamie…besides the obvious and trite digs at State for being a "cow" college, exactly how many coaches has Lee Fowler fired since he’s been the AD?
I’ll give you a hint…you could count ‘em on one hand if you chopped off four fingers. I’d leave the middle one just to salute your old and busted view of NC State.
Thanks for kicking while down. Preesh, yo.
I mean, UNC’s never had any coaching search/hiring/firing debacles, right?
Scott, you’re so right.
Did I miss something? Did Lee Fowler hire and immediately fire Barnes, Calipari and Beilein?
Wow, he’s good!
No, he didn’t fire those guys. But they were all nice enough to leave the money on the nightstand…
By the way, tell Fowler to give us a call. We’re accepting applications for a flagship university and we like the way he handles his bidness.
