Coach Mark Gottfried-Sorry if This Was Posted While I Was Out-of-Touch

[Marshal Dillon]

Story is from March 2018, so you guys probably talked about this. Sounds like Cal-Northridge is okay with a coach who has been fired twice for not winning consistently.

Mark Gottfried is returning to college coaching.

After a year away from coaching following his February 2017 firing from N.C State, Gottfried was introduced Tuesday as the new head coach at Cal State-Northridge .

Gottfried has 20 years of Division I head coaching experience at Murray State, Alabama and N.C. State. He coached the Wolfpack from 2011-2017, compiling a 123-86 record with four NCAA tournament berths. He led the Wolfpack to the tournament’s round of 16 in 2012 and 2015.

But N.C. State suffered through losing seasons in Gottfried’s final two years on the job, going 16-17 and 15-17. The Wolfpack won only nine ACC games over his last two seasons.

Let me know if this is old, old, cold news for most of you.

Very interesting stuff here.



Gottfried’s name appeared on federal documents published by Yahoo Sports last month. The documents say that Christian Dawkins, an employee of Andy Miller at the ASM agency, had contact with Gottfried and then-N.C. State assistant coach Orlando Early in August 2016.

N.C. State disassociated itself with Miller in 2012. Dawkins wasn’t subject to the disassociation even though he worked for Miller, according to N.C. State.


When is then college basketball scandal going to have finality?

Didn't know Gottfried had another job.  I have no ill will towards him, he's a Bama guy.  He had some good coaching years, at Bama (5 NCAA Tournaments, including one Elite and NC State (4 NCAA Tournaments and 2 Sweet Sixteens).  He just seems to lose momentum after about 5 years.
