yeah, I don't think this going to end well.

Raleigh had some media down in Fairhope and were even at the St. Michaels playoff game. I thought that was a distraction and unfair to those kids on the team.

This sounds like the people that made the hire know frick all about what it takes to win. It’s the same dumbasses that used to say “HIRE PEYTON MANNING!! He would have us scoring 50 a game!!” all because he was a good QB

As a VT fan, and and someone who wants the ACC to get better.....NC State has great fans, but the school constantly does stupid crap like this...makes no sense

I’ve been of the belief that NC State could be a “sleeping giant” for a long time. Great fanbase support, weak ACC, and yet they do some shite like this.

With a school in their situation, you don’t think you could do better than a high school coach?

something that is under the radar here is the format in which the Alabama high school currently sits.

they have a public and private split. For example, I think the private schools only had two games against public schools and then all the rest against private only.

you even had teams getting bye weeks this week in both private and public. I don't think anyone really likes it; I've heard no one saying that they think this is a good thing.

So, from that angle, I don't think that isn't what Philip Rivers signed up for. I'm not saying that is a main reason he's leaving but it definitely didn't help.

I disagree. There is this myth that coaching football is on par with theoretical physics. It is just a child's game. The key has always been talent acquisition. If he can get dudes, then he will be successful.

He just finished 6-5 against private school ball in Alabama

This is worse than UAB hiring Trent Dilfer.

It happened because private schools were recruiting and dominating the lower levels. It was aimed at Olympic and spring sports specifically. It was also beneficial to private schools who followed the rules. They can now compete.

well Gunner Rivers got hurt and missed a lot of games. Then when he played the other night, he didn't move around very well.

He was basically throwing it away if under any pressure

no argument there. I'm surprised he's going through with this.

Can't be worse then Deon. At least Rivers loves and cares about CFB and NC State.

Hell of a 12 months for Rivers… kinda shitty high school coach… starting nfl quarterback… head coach of a power 4 program.

Impressive
