2018 College Football Coaching Carousel

Drink attended Ark Tech, which is tied with Pembroke St at #102 in US News Southern Regional University rankings. ASU is #9. So the academic honors aren’t impressive.
 
Revisionist history is fun isn't it? The 2017-18 team lost an all american RT, an all conference RB, it's program leader in receptions, both starting LB's and 4 starting DL. 7 of which were drafted. The year after that is a rebuild for any team. The success (9-3 even in a week ACC is only an underachievement to crazy NCSU fans given our history) of this season is more a testament to the coaches and programs/recruits on the team than it shows that it "wasn't a rebuild".

NCSU lost 12 starters off of the 2017/2018 team and will lose 9 off of this team. QB is big but acting like it's some huge rebuild compared to the one last season is just not true. QB is huge but it appears that NCSU has plenty of talented options.

If you lost a bunch of NFL prospects and the next year's team has a bunch of NFL prospects, you've got a solid program and shouldn't be talking about rebuilds.

So you agree that NCSU doesn't rebuild, it reloads. Bandwagon gaining steam!
 
My point stands. State's depth chart only shows 3 starters with less than two full years in the program (1 So, 1 rFr, 1 Fr). An elite college (maybe NFL) QB. 2 NFL WRs. No fanbase would/should consider that a rebuilding year. Maybe a "reloading year" at best (particularly on defense), but every legitimate program in the country has that issue year after year.

State beat zero teams it wasn't supposed to beat and got killed the one time they were an underdog, not to mention losing as a 19 point favorite in a home prime time game against a backup QB. In a vacuum at the beginning of the season, would 9-3 have been considered a good season? Of course, although replacing WVU with ECU makes a big difference. Looking back on the results of the year? Definitely underachieved in the eyes of most.

10-3 with a win over TAMU makes it look like a pretty good season though.
 
So who is left to coach State’s offense?

WR, RB, and TE coaches plus GAs is think. RB coach Kitchings was an OC at Vandy for a year in like 2010 so I’d guess he will be the interim until DD makes a decision. Depleted staff for sure. I’d be surprised if a new OC or OL coach is hired in time to be involved with bowl prep.
 
That loss to Wake has got to chap

Certainly would have liked for it to go the other way haha. But Wakes style of O eats us alive and you guys kicked our ass up front on both sides that night. That didn’t happen often this year and Clawson and your staff id say is a better in game coaching crew than what we had. Happens.
