Bill Cowher’s house in Raleigh

A few months ago I ventured to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher’s (an NC State Grad) 2.5 million dollar house to see what it was like. Here are a couple photographs of the North Raleigh home.

Chuck is no more - NC State University Football Looks for a New Head Coach.

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

NC State Wolfpack Football head coach, Chuck Amato was fired on Sunday, November 26, 2006. This release occurred after an abysmal season of 3 wins and 9 losses. The 3 wins came from Appalachian State, Boston College, and Florida State. After the win against Florida State at home, the pack went on a seven game losing streak and ended the season to a 21-16 loss to East Carolina.

During the seven seasons Amato coached at State, he lead the pack to 5 bowl games and had an overall record of 49-37. In ACC play his record was 25-31. The Wolfpack never finish higher than 4th place in the ACC while Chuck was coaching.

At least we didn’t play Duke this year.

Top choices for head coach at this point seem to be Bill Cowher, Norm Chow, Paul Johnson, Jimbo Fisher, David Cutcliffe, Mike Leach, and Jim Donnan.

Tune into the RaleighSkyline.com Podcast next week when we discuss the top prospects.
