About half of the fans are welcoming and the other half are either unimpressed or flat out punks. Trashing Keatts' resume and our conference.

One response says "don't bother unpacking... you have quite a legacy to fill."

What a bunch of dolts.

I literally hate NC State now. They absolutely don't deserve a good coach.

Keatts could not turn it down for that much money, but NC State is a bad job as far as the ACC goes. No patience there, so if he doesn't get rolling fast, they will be ready to look again. Would have thought it would be Keatts or Miller and was hoping for the Seahawks it would be Miller. Keatts did a tremendous job.
He is a great coach. The only question is whether NC State is the best job for him. But, $$ was just too much.
Hope both Bryce and Cacok stay for you guys. Hopefully, the 1 year sit out provision and more importantly, loyalty to the Hawks keeps the team together. I hate the Pack, too. The legacy for State was 30 years ago with Valvano and maybe one/two decent years with Sendek. David Thompson played before some of us were even born. They are so far behind Duke and UNC they are not even the little brother at this point. If they give Keatts time, he will be successful.
