I’ve been around Coach Wade a lot over the last few years… I can truly say today was the most I’ve ever seen the man smile.
The General is HOME to stay.
@geauxtigers2025 You think hiring our coach makes us forget the sleaziness of Will Wade? We Wolfpack fans can multitask. We’re gonna support our new guy but also follow every LSU men’s basketball game and let yall hear about it when you’re bottom of the SEC still
@gabe_wiseman2@vincentWPN@reed_vial3 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea no title @LSUBasketball is ahead of 8 time champion baseball. Get out of here. Basketball is an afterthought and ole William Wade is gonna learn quick where he stands in the SEC
Schertz officially is out.
Gainey or Rickey for NCSU...
Pack fans, how we feeling?
Also, SLU fans, what're your thoughts on Schertz continuing to shop after the extension?
NC State not being able/willing to match this number I’m hearing Schertz wanted is very troubling. This should have been a layup for a program serious about competing.
@SloberrinWolves@LupusBeowulf Would you consider guys like Tommy Lloyd a huge gamble when Arizona took the AHC from Gonzaga. Roy Williams was the AHC under Dean. Went straight to HC at Kansas. Jai Lucas and Jon Scheyer had zero HC experience. Luke Loucks at FSU an alum. Ended up with a great team by end.
The Lowe / Gainey comparisons are embarrassing. The two could not have more different backgrounds. The only thing they have in common is that they both went to State. Dig a little deeper folks.
@addos@LupusBeowulf@Wolfpackfan910 I hate to say it but we have to temper expectations… UNC looking at Donovan and Lloyd and we’re looking at an assistant HC and a coach from SLU. We are who we are
@LupusBeowulf@addos@Wolfpackfan910 Ok I still think it’s a big gamble, but sounds like we’re rolling the dice … Shertz is out. Sucks with the support and history we have we’re not a better option. Shertz and Gainey being our only 2 options is concerning
@SloberrinWolves@addos@Wolfpackfan910 I’m not arguing we hire him cuz he’s our guy.
I’m arguing we hire him because he can recruit, develop guards and architected the best defense in modern history.
He’s nothing like Lowe. Ironically Lowe had been a HC.
Just dropped an additional note on NC State's discussions with head coaching target Josh Schertz for @PackPower247 subscribers.

@LupusBeowulf@addos@Wolfpackfan910 you ain’t hearing what I’m saying. It’s the opposite … “ don’t hire him just cuz he’s our guy” that’s what we did with Lowe. If Gainey was proven as a HC, I’d be so on board with it. You couldn’t ask for more than loyalty and experience. But right now he’s got only 1
@addos@LupusBeowulf@Wolfpackfan910 Yep! My fear… many are thinking with our emotions and not our brains and understandably so. But hopefully Boo isn’t. Let’s say Shertz is a home run and someone comes calling in 3 years… are we really gonna be upset our program is in a better spot than when he showed up ?
@SloberrinWolves@LupusBeowulf@Wolfpackfan910 People will be so traumatized by Will Wade they probably would want Gainey to have an actual lifetime contract regardless of how well he coaches.
@LupusBeowulf@addos@Wolfpackfan910 But it’s not like anyone else … it’s one of our guys. It’s gonna be uglier, and harder to get support to do it when it’s time. If it’s the choice between 2 head coaches and one of them is our guy, you pick him each time. But we’re not comparing apples to apples
