....as Chuck Amato is let go as N.C. State head football coach.
I credit him with the Philip Rivers era (the highlight being the slaughtering of Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl New Years Day, 2003), but with it comes responsibility for the past few years, especially 2006.
It's sad, because he injected some serious life into the football program. Now it's time for another dosage. But who comes to Raleigh??
Butch Davis is moving in at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest just won the ACC Championship (congrats to the Deacons!), and Duke doesn't count in football. :)
I have no idea who may be on the list, but think of this.....
---When Amato came in 2000, it was still basically Florida State and the rest of the league. State beat FSU four out of the past six years, including the first league win by anyone against FSU in Tallahassee.
---Now, going into 2007, it's wide open in terms of which ACC team wants to step up and be the "Wake Forest" of the year. So.....
...would this not intrigue some coach (a good, hungry one; I don't care about name recognition at all) into coming to Raleigh, recruiting voraciously, adopt and follow a set plan, and, maybe, sooner than you think, it's the Wolfpack in the BCS??
This is how open the ACC is now.....Virginia beat Miami this season. Virginia stunk. Questions?

Football and basketball fund all of the other sports. After this year, people weren't going to buy season tickets for football, thus making every other program suffer. Chuck had to go. He knew the deal.
