I'll believe it when scoopla confirms.

As much as it sucks to be a Wake fan, I will admit it is fun to be the team that is the last straw before coaches are fired
It will be hilarious when Archie Miller turns them down because staying at Dayton is a better job.
PP is pretty fun. The way they talk you'd think NCSU was right there with UNC and Duke as one of the top jobs in the conference. Worlds ahead of LOWF certainly.
Of course, of their two coaches that have had any success over the past 27 years, one of them was driven out of town to one of the worst high major jobs in the country and the other had his firing leaked a month before the season ended. Yeah, if I were a coach I would love to work for that administration / fanbase.
NCSU should be a great job. They have a rabid fan base that pours money into the program, low academic standards, great facilities, and they are in the ACC. They have just made shit hires for a while.

People have been saying this for 25 years. It just isn't true. No one wants to be the little brother in the Triangle.
Yes, he got a two year extension after State's 2012 tournament run. His contract now runs through 2017-18. State says that they aren't going to fire him. We'll see.
Roy and K ain't getting any younger. Replacing them is not going to be easy.
Not jus as I remembered. So, did a Google. - Also, pretty drastic that news reports he WILL be fried - not that it is strong speculation. Anyway this from 2015:
"New deal will pay Mark Gottfried $2.48 million annually through 2020"

It will be a hell of lot easier than luring an elite coach to State. Pretty much any basketball coach in the world is a realistic target for either of those schools.
I think Archie Miller is a great coaching prospect. I think he is signed, sealed, and delivered to State too.
I think carolina and/or duke will not open themselves up to a full coaching search because of misguiding notions of keeping it in the family. If you think Wojo/Collins and Hubert are elite coaches, then they will be fine. I tend to disagree.
Archie Miller isn't a prospect. He is an established coach who has been to the Elite 8, is under contract through 2023 at over $1 mil per year, and is at a place school where he can make the tournament every year. It isn't a lock that he will leave, and if he does it may not be for State. That place is a shitshow. The talk for years has been that he wants the tOSU job.
This is exactly what happened at Alabama (perhaps minus a few co-eds?) and State fans are surprised, why?
