Jeff Goodman recently polled a collection of ACC coaches—head coaches and assistants—about their opinions of the various league jobs. NC State came out fifth overall, behind (in order) Duke, Louisville, UNC, and Syracuse.
The anonymous assistant coach that Goodman quotes has good things to say about the program’s resources and the fan base ... and then also there is the standard knock (by a different ACC assistant? it’s not clear) on the fanbase for being a collection of unrealistic loonballs. You know how this stuff goes by now.
Goodman had the coaches vote 1-15 in a bunch of categories, and State scored highest in facilities/resources, recruiting base, tradition, and admission requirements.
