NC State fires Chuck Amato

Chuck Amato is out as the head coach at North Carolina State.

According to the AP, "The former Wolfpack linebacker had a 49-37 record at the school and led the team to five bowl games, but his squads were 25-31 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and never finished higher than fourth... N.C. State (3-9) lost seven straight games this season to finish with a losing record for the second time in three seasons since quarterback Philip Rivers went to the NFL."

Well, was this the right move for the Wolfpack to make? And who replaces Amato?

There are already rumors that Bill Couher will be NC States next coach. He just bought a house in NC and his wife has already moved down there.

Re: NC State fires Chuck Amato

I think it was fair to fire him. They really peaked in 2002 when they beat Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl. Since then they haven't been able to put together a season worthy of hanging your hat on. That ACC is a tough place to start off as a new coach, I think the ACC is just starting to become a really dominant conference. Wake Forest has had a good year but with all their juniors and seniors they really might be more of a one hit wonder. But Georgia Tech has finally put together a good year, Boston College and Virginia Tech seem to reload, and I really believe Miami and Florida State will bounce back. Whoever gets that job at NC State has a lot of work ahead of them.
