After losing out on Shaka Smart, NC State turns to Mark Gottfried from Bama. I like Gottfried a lot, he will receive a five-year contract with a guarantee of $1.2 million annually, a deal that includes an automatic two-year extension if he leads N.C. State back to the NCAA tournament in either of the next two seasons.
He has a career record of 278-155 in 14 seasons at Murray State and Alabama. He took seven teams to the NCAA tournament, including a run of five straight at Alabama from 2002-06 and had Bama ranked 1 in the country in 2002.
NC State hasn't been good since Julius Hodge walked out that door, so hopefully Gottfried can bring them back to relevancy and back into the tournament.
