I hate to be this guy but could Chris Hart maybe get in decent shape if he's going to take over? If you are going to lead athletes you should take your health seriously.

You've had some dumb takes but this takes the cake. And for the record, round is a shape

Sorry I found a dumber take.

good take Pete Hegseth


Lmao! Why are you guys mad about this!? I'm not saying every coach has to be an Iron Man. However his belly not hanging out like Santa Claus is a reasonable expectation.

Question…
Would Hart keep the current staff? Seems like some changes could benefit the program.

I would hope so, Hart, Chrysler and BoRob are 3 of the best to do it and JT is a young rising star in the biz as well. Hart could hire his replacement to make an already awesome staff even better.

Start with Schnall, as soon as he hangs up on you call Fitzgerald and Haire. Not sure how gettable Haire is. Sogard is down the list for me.

Also don't think Haire leaves his home state after 2 seasons

Other than not having been a head coach, what does Hart's resume need? Great recruiter and integral part of success of some great N.C. State teams.

Unless Avent himself says not to hire Hart - I think we should hire Hart if he wants the job. If it doesn't work out it doesn't work out but the guy has waited his turn 22 years and former players absolutely love him.

That is, indeed, a dumber take

Cliff Godwin may be interested as well. ECU just announced they are cutting 44 academic programs due to financial shortfalls. Godwin has slowly been losing ground on resources for his program. Maybe he's interested in staying local to his home but upgrading his access to talent and resources.

I dislike Godwin for some reason lol. No real reason to not like him but I just don't.

I do like his hitting coach Jake Gautreau.

Their Director of Player Development, Bobby Austin, is a State grad and former Student Manager. I met his parents out in Omaha when Bobby was at Mississippi State. Very nice people.

Sometimes when the answer is right in front of you, people can complicate things. Let's not do that. Give Hart his chance.

No sense in arguing about who it will or won't be. It's going to be Hart.

I'd take Godwin over Hart all day. Not even a close choice for me.

Godwin is a great guy. State fans would love him once they were able to disassociate him with ECU.

It would be extremely funny to take ECU's baseball coach from them, however I like Hart and other options more.

Their recruiting, talent identification, and grind is superior.

NC State has had a very successful program for the last 20 years. Hart is a HUGE reason for that. He pretty much runs things day to day. There's no reason not to at least let him try and see if he can handle the other parts of the program now.

If it doesn't work, there are going to be lots of great options available. That's no guarantee, though. South Carolina probably wishes they'd kept Holbrook at this point.

Speaking for "idiot 1/3" of the fanbase.... I don't understand the urgency of hiring from within with no attempt to search. There are 300 division 1 programs. There is not one person out 700 to 800 possible candidates that should be considered. We should not search and see what might be out there. Is that proper due diligence for an Athletic Director? Is must hire within some kind of team loyalty test? I do not get it. We do not make a honest effort to seek the best leadership for the kids that wear the uniform because.....? we owe what to whom? I think whoever gets the job should go thorough and fair process.

Chad is a great dude and a very good teacher of ball. I learned a lot from him working unc camps back in the day.



Hart took over 'crootin in 2010 (IIRC) and started bringing in dudes year in and year out pretty much immediately.

What part of that don't you agree with. I can tell you first hand they outwork almost everyone on the recruiting trail. That is the biggest reason for their success. Let's be real. That program has no right to be as good as they are.

Who is on your list? Who you do want Boo to reach out to and ultimately try to interview and bring in for the job?

You're so confident that Hart won't get it done, who is your choice?

It's about a process...I have no one in mind. The last sentence is not mine. Maybe Hart gets it. Just go do your best as AD to see what your options might be.
