quote:

“No. Is the job open there? No? Listen, let me be very clear: I'm excited at NC State. I was hired at NC State to do a job,” he said. “This wasn't going to 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 to be long-term."

That's a two week old quote. Nothing new? Yeah he's coming

How many times in the history of college athletics has a coach returned to the school that 5 years before fired him?

The Saban thing is a bad example. That was an outlier. He stayed exactly where he said he was going to stay each and every time after that. I don’t know what to believe about Will Wade coming back or not, but the Saban thing is dated and debunked.

I'm not saying Wade is coming back, although I hope he does. However, the people who show this quote as "proof" that he's not lack the ability to read between the lines. What else is Wade supposed to say if he's actually open to the idea?

What did you expect him to say at that time?
There was plenty wiggle room in that statement.

That article is just a lot of words giving a history lesson on WW. With an editorialized clickbait headline

You can promote your team without going in depth about the future. His comments make it sound like he's very disappointed "this is the worst team we will have at NC State", and he has a chip on his shoulder for next year. He then continues talking about how they didn't have a bunch of time to put a team together, and that there were personality conflicts and they will take that into account this upcoming season. It's totally different than what most coaches do, which is stay in that grey area, in the situation you're talking about. He actually gave a plan moving forward and doubled down on his commitment.

I would expect no less, especially if nothing is signed or negotiations are on-going. Nobody knows what the current situation was at the time he was asked and answered. My ethics would have me doing the job I'm in to the best of my ability as long as I'm in that job. In short, his sharing that he's thinking about his team and working with his current administration does not put him in a different category. He's in the grey area. You just believe he's signaling that he's staying. None of his statements affirm that.

The article cites unnamed “Baton rouge media members” and “gossip on message boards”

Guy has no sauce, it’s an opinion piece

It's based on a quote he said weeks ago so it's a terrible 4 hour old article.

What? You found a republishing of his quote from two weeks ago?!?!?!

By the way, please point me to the part where he says he would not consider LSU should the job come open. He prefaced everything in that statement by the fact that the LSU job is not open.

Also, important to go back and look at the question actually asked. Do you want to speak to the LSU rumors?

Answer: No.

Reading comprehension is important.

Also, what would you expect him to say. Yes, I'm very interested in the LSU job...
