Amato is No Mo.....

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State fired football coach Chuck Amato on Sunday, a day after he completed his seventh season at his alma mater.

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.

This season, North Carolina State (3-9) lost seven straight games to finish with a losing record for the second time in three seasons since quarterback Philip Rivers went to the NFL. On Saturday, the Wolfpack finished the season with a 21-16 home loss to East Carolina.

So who is connected to this program whose name will get thrown around? Bill Cowher, Norm Chow, Jim Donnan . . . hard to believe any of those would happen.

Hey . . . Maybe Lou Holtz will come back. :crazy:

Donnan is a posibility I think.

Donnan would be a good hire for them.

...Arizona State's coach got the boot, as well.

Bill Cowher bought a house in North Carolina about a month or two ago. Both of his daughters are on their way to college in North Carolina...

NC State can actually do better than Amato?
