Mark Gottfried will not return as NC State men’s basketball coach following the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, Director of Athletics Debbie Yow announced today. Gottfried is in his sixth season leading the Wolfpack.

“Mark and I met today to discuss the future direction of our program,” said Yow. “While it has long been my practice to evaluate the body of work at season’s end, in reviewing the overall direction of our program, we believe a change in leadership is necessary moving forward. Our focus now remains on supporting our student-athletes and staff over the final weeks of our season.”

Gottfried will remain the NC State head coach through the remainder of the season. NC State is 122-82 during his tenure, and 47-55 in ACC play.

“It has been a privilege to serve as head coach of NC State, and I’m proud of what we have accomplished during my time here,” said Gottfried. “NC State is a special place and I appreciate the opportunity to finish the remainder of the season.”

Why let him stay? He lost control of that team 15+ games ago. Probably would have been better to have sent him packin'.

Is he actually going to finish the season? You'll have to forgive me if I don't put a lot of faith in pack pride.

Must say I hate to see this. When are they going to wise up and fire the root of the problem that is Frau Yow? Hopefully never. This is NVSU athletics:

Burn, baby, burn!

They've been actively searching for a coach for almost 3 weeks

That part doesn't surprise me. The part about him staying until the end of the season seems a little odd.

 

[UNC&ME]

haha...Mark and I met today to DISCUSS..hahaha...moo u..pathetic today and pathetic tomorrow

 

[BillyL]

How many of you folks are taking some satisfaction in all this knowing that the official firing happened immediately after our game . . ?

 

[tarheel0910]

So are they going to let him coach in the NCAA tournament... oh wait, never mind.

 

[soap - new and improved]

Color me Sad to see him go. He is exactly what that deranged fanbase deserves. I do give him props for impregnating a woman pretty enough to produce this.......

I suspect he used Rohypnol.

Probably not his ..

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Keeping him till the end of the season is pure STUPIDITY!

I think it's great .. maybe we can give him a going away present in the ACCT

The best part of the whole situation is....

Bowser Yowser gets another chance to stick a fork in the dead poultry known as mutt athletics.

That can't have sprung from his loins.

What in the world does that have to do with anything?

lol, how soon we forget.

 

[NENCHeel]

Baddour brought Bunting back from the dead. If Yow tries to resurrect Gottfried she'll be toast before his rigor relaxes.

 

[gteeitup]

bunting was fired in october, continued to coach.

in fact, i believe it was before a thursday night game at uva...even the announcers made a statement about it.

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Baddour>Yow just barely. Thorpie and Baddour together were a HUGE mistake. Think all that was well documented way back and has ZIP to do with this.

^ You are fired, we support you but you are still fired? News flash Debbie, being fired is like the ultimate statement that you actually do not support that staff. Now I don't blame them for making the decision to fire him, he did a very poor job with that team, way to much talent to be that pathetic. But you do one of 2 things, you either end it now or don't say or do anything until the end of the season and then do what everyone knew you were going to do anyway.
