N.C. State’s Mark Gottfried Won’t Return Next Season
N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried won't return
N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried is in serious trouble and could be out as soon as this week, barring a major turnaround, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.
Mark Armstrong of ABC11 in North Carolina also reported that the school has made the decision to fire Gottfried, 53, after the season. Gottfried is 122-81 in five-plus seasons at N.C. State.
N.C. State has already begun reaching out to potential replacements, The Sporting News reported, with ESPN adding that Dayton’s Archie Miller, an N.C. State alumnus, would be a top target but is unlikely to take the job.
“My focus is 100 percent on UNC tonight and finding a way to get on a late run to make our fifth NCAA Tournament in six years,” Gottfried told ZAGSBLOG by text on Wednesday morning.
