Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
http://www.sbnation.com/college-foot...football-coach
Kind of surprising to see them fire him. I thought he was doing a decent job. Maybe the fire was made with an eye towards NCST joining the SEC?

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
The fan base in Raleigh did not like him and word is he didn't get along with the new AD. Not sure who they will get that's any better, but they are a delusioinal bunch in Raleigh

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
I'm shocked, too. Thought he was safe for at least another year.

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
4-4 in the ACC is not acceptable with that team they put on the field this year

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
Wouldn't be surprised of you hear James Franklin's name being thrown around

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
this one caught me by surprise as well
and James franklin has no reason to leave the SEC for the EZZ.. he is one of about 7-8 coaches that are safe at their school in the SEC for a whle

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
She's going to come after Franklin hard. He needed to go, the recruiting was horrible and they were way too inconsistent. This is the same AD that hired the fridge and had franklin all lined up to take over after him. We'll see if it is a better job. Helluvalot easier job to win 10 games. Will they spend the $$$? We'll see.

Re: Tom O'Brien Fired by NC State
If they have their pay for play infrastructure in place they might try to hire Chizik and have a couple of good years.
