4/5/2011 3:14:13 PM

I agree, Oops. Will do.

4/5/2011 3:15:25 PM

At least he has a track record of wearing red jackets. +1 credibility

4/5/2011 3:17:12 PM

why would someone want this thread attached to their name?

4/5/2011 3:17:34 PM

crimson /= red -1 credibility

4/5/2011 3:18:52 PM

close e-fucking-nough

4/5/2011 3:19:50 PM

hey now's on

4/5/2011 3:21:43 PM

neither thread should be locked

that would be a classic example of superfluous moderation

4/5/2011 3:22:21 PM

I'm very confused by this hire.

4/5/2011 3:23:01 PM

At least he has a track record of coaching a school who's mascot doesn't end in "s." +1 credibility

Roll Pack!

4/5/2011 3:23:11 PM

iirc, the frosh trio of CJL, Harrow and Zo would fit in well with how he has historically coached his teams.

hope they don't transfer.

4/5/2011 3:26:47 PM

Zo won't. Leslie will go pro or stay. Harrow is the only one I'm kind of worried about, he seems to have the closest bond with Lowe.

not his fault that he sucks. welcome to the wolfpack family, thank you for making sure that we wont fall short of expectations next year.

4/5/2011 3:33:52 PM

Just got a shout-out from Shepard Smith on FoxNews, he's shown some Wolfpack love before

4/5/2011 3:37:02 PM

^yeah, why though? Any idea on his ties to NC State?

[Edited on April 5, 2011 at 3:40 PM. Reason : V ]

4/5/2011 3:37:43 PM

so why are we convinced he's going to suck? because he resigned his last job or because he hasn't won 3 national championships or what?

LOL at the people who had on Fox News when this got announced. How will you choose between the press conf. or Glenn Beck's latest news on Jewish Communist Conspiracies!

Marc Gottfried is going to rip tobacco road a new one. We will build statues to honor this man's greatness. Mark it down, elite 8 next year, championship in year 2.

Our accounting guy here at work is a bama' alumni during Mark's coaching. He LOL'd when i told him the news.

Pretty much said hes a mediocre coach and thats what we are headed for again.

4/5/2011 3:51:35 PM

what's his style? what are his teams known for, etc.

4/5/2011 3:53:13 PM

62.8% win record at Bama

his teams are known for turning the power of Christ on thine enemies

4/5/2011 3:58:14 PM

4/5/2011 3:59:15 PM

Ends with a 'd'...not Italian

Always so informative yet enjoyable.

Gotta be German-ish

4/5/2011 4:00:57 PM

since his name doesn't end in a vowel, atleast we can count on all you retards to not instantly accuse him of being a sleaze

4/5/2011 4:01:47 PM

I guess as long it is one of the Axis powers, it's good enough for the old folks.

4/5/2011 4:02:15 PM

I dont know that much about Mark Gottfried, but he has at least had a little bit of success. While he was at Alabama one of his teams were ranked number 1 at some point. I'm not saying hes going to be our savior, but when we have a decent coach (Herb) and we take 2 steps back (Sidney), you gotta start building back up somewhere. I'd say Coach Gottfried is about 2 and a half steps forward from where we where. So we may be slightly better than Herb.

4/5/2011 4:03:17 PM

Awesome completely random measuring stick measurements...

4/5/2011 4:04:15 PM

http://www.gottfired.com ... I like it

Seriously though ... dude better hop on that recruiting trail in a hurry ... has been out of the game for too long. Maybe we can keep larry harris in for another 2 years to help solidify the recruiting that Sid did already.

4/5/2011 4:04:26 PM

having sat on this for a little bit, i love the hire. love it.

4/5/2011 4:05:37 PM

So who is going to be the funky bunch in Marky Mark's outfit--the coaching staff or the squad?

COME ON! COME ON!

FEEL IT! FEEL IT!

4/5/2011 4:07:43 PM

SHUT THE FUCK UP

4/5/2011 4:08:04 PM

^^^^^Sorry about my arbitrary number. But regardless I'd have to say he's slightly better than Herb, and leaps and bounds above Sidney.

[Edited on April 5, 2011 at 4:08 PM. Reason : ]

4/5/2011 4:08:21 PM

Well, whats nice is that we'll probably keep some of the assistant coaches, and the program should be a little more stable in the short term. Could help reduce player turn over. I suspect any other coach would have thrown all our AC's to the curb.

4/5/2011 4:08:40 PM

^^^DRUG FREE SO PUT THE CRACK UP!!!

4/5/2011 4:09:16 PM

^^ doubt we're keeping any current assistants

4/5/2011 4:11:50 PM

4/5/2011 4:13:03 PM

-shrug- let's see what happens. welcome to nc state gottfried

4/5/2011 4:13:30 PM

well he doesn't currently have a "staff" so he can keep them, if he wants.. which may not be a bad idea if they know anything

4/5/2011 4:13:36 PM

yeah, i don't know what that comment about keeping assistants is based on.

and honestly, why would you want to? all we've done is lose w/ this staff, save maybe harris whose value is arguable.

here is an interesting article from when he was considering Utah

Quote :

"According to a tweet from Seth Davis, Mark Gottfried could be the leading candidate to replace Jim Boylen at Utah. Gottfried is the former head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide and has shown interest in the job since its opening a couple weeks ago. Currently, he's a college basketball analyst for ESPN. If Gottfried is the man, he would seem to fit what Hill is looking for in a head coach. He's a known recruiter, bringing in NBA talent to the Alabama program throughout his decade-long career there. He's a winner, having won at both Murray State and Alabama. He was the first coach in program history to lead the Tide to the Elite Eight and a number one ranking during the 2003 season (which, coincidently, ended at the hands of the Utes here in Salt Lake City). He's won at the Power Level. With Utah moving to the Pac-12, this is an important point because he's proven successful at a big-time college basketball conference (SEC regular season champions in 2005). He's got almost a decade and a half of head coaching experience. That isn't to say there aren't concerns about Gottfried, though. He had a couple lean years toward the end of his career in Tuscaloosa, which inevitably led to a strained relationship, and he's not known as an Xs and Os guy. The latter point can be reconciled by his recruiting prowess. Jim Boylen was supposedly an Xs and Os coach and that really didn't help Utah all that much. More impressively, at least in my opinion, is the fact he wants the job and would bring to Utah a far greater resume than any hire the program has made since Jack Gardner in the 1950s. So Ute fans, would you approve of this hire? "

Quote :

""Mark Gottfried will never be called passive against zone defenses! Attacking the heart of the zone, inside/out, is the goal of his offense. The keys are ball movement, man movement and penetrate as the ball moves from sideline to sideline. Gottfried believes that his perimeter players must be hard to guard and find the gap between two defenders. After one or two ball reversals, guards look to \knife the zone\" by driving gaps. Post players are taught to be aggressive and move hard against the zone. Post players must occupy defenders along the baseline by flashing and posting up. One feature of Gotfried's zone style is attacking from behind from the short corner." "
