NC State hired Maryland's AD to run their athletic department. I don't feel strongly one way or the other about Yow, but wonder if she'll pressure TOB to finally win.

With a new AD, TOB = Thrown Over Board. He just has not got their program turned around.
Yea I think this season is TOB's last to get that ship righted.
The Maryland fans are ecstatic.
The NC State fans, not sure how they should feel, it's not like they could be doing much worse.
When you come right down to it, what does TOB care? He used NC State to get closer to his retirement home in Charleston, SC and he is financially set thanks to the Wolfpack - Ha, ha, ha, ha.
He gave it his best, but it's their fault he couldn't win - they just couldn't bring in quality student-athletes. He left BC becuase we COULD bring in quality student-athletes - just not big time winners in his opinion.
When will he ever get it right?
As a BC alum living in Maryland, I find it ironic that the reaction among UM alums is similar to BC's when TOB left. They're thankful for certain things Yow has done for the program, but are not disappointed to see her leave.
Unlike the hoops program, UM's football program has been mediocre at best. The administration and fanbase has set their expectations low, with the mindset that UM is a basketball school and can never be a consistent football power. Given the talent base in the mid-atlantic, there is no reason that should be the case.
I'm really curious to see if Yow simply puts up with mediocrity in football at NC State as she did at Maryland. Unlike Maryland, though, she doesn't have a strong basketball program to hang her hat on, so it could be interesting
