Reporter (Shelby Swanson): Just a lot of talk with you, and potential position at LSU. Just wanted to see if anybody from that campus reached out to you, and just give you an opportunity to speak on that.

Wade: No, is the job open there? Huh? No, so why would, I’m not, listen, let me be very clear. I’m excited at NC State. I was hired at NC State to do a job. This wasn’t gonna take one year. I’ve already met with our administration about next year, and some of the changes that we need to make, and some of the things that we need to do to put this program where it deserves long-term. So, I’m not, you know, I’m not on social media, I’m not into gossip, I’m not into any of that sort of stuff. But look, we’re gonna win, and we’re gonna win big at NC State. And that’s what we’re gonna do. That’s what we’re gonna do moving forward. And we have the resources we need, we have what we need, and it’s on me and my staff to get the job done. And look, this year hasn’t gone exactly how we wanted it to, but we’re gonna rally, and we’re gonna work hard, and we’re gonna have a team next year that’s ready to roll.
