    Why do you think this is a bad hire? I'm not saying its a great one, but not sure why you think its bad. I think OBrien is a former marine, maybe we'll see a little discipline out of the team.

    Oh yeah, he's terrible. Throw in the towel before he even gets off the plane. So what if he can rebuild programs? He's going to sound funny when he says brickyahd; we can't have that, can we?

    He gets 4 years. You can't tell how a college coach is going to do at least until you see his first recruiting class as seniors. So shut up and watch what happens. I'll listen to your prognostications ONLY IF you predicted that Wake Forest would win the ACC footbal title before Miami when Miami entered the ACC. :p

    I always find this funny....

    Last ACC Football title

    Wake Forest 2006
    Duke 1989
    UNC 1980
    NCSU 1979

    How sad is that the both Duke & Wake have an ACC title more recently than the 2 state schools?


    I think O'Brien is a good hire. He has went 9-3 3 years in a row. I think he will have State in that range in a few years, as he inherits a good defense, 2 good running back, and an ok QB.
