Twitter reacts after NC State fires coach Mark Gottfried
N.C. State fired head coach Mark Gottfried on Thursday but he’ll stay on for the remainder of the season.
Here’s a look at what people are saying on Twitter.
6 years, 4 NCAA tournaments, 2 sweet 16's, 122-82 overall record with a program that has stunk for years. Huge mistake firing #MarkGottfried

Soo NC State fires Mark Gottfried today, but he gets to coach the next 4 games plus the ACC tourney. Why not fire him after that?

The decision was the right one, but ultimately I will look back fondly at the Mark Gottfried era

I am gonna miss @Mark_Gottfried. He brought me many great memories & made @NCState @PackMensBball relevant again. Thank you, coach. #NCState pic.twitter.com/pADwy1gVdD

What a weird dynamic, NC State fires head coach Mark Gottfried, but he will coach the remainder of the season.

Mark Gottfried is gone. @PackMensBball needs to pursue Kevin Keatts. It'll kill me to see him go, but that man can straight up coach. #UNCW

Mark Gottfried will be quite the coaching free agent after N.C. State wins the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

NC State's ouster of Mark Gottfried shows its hoop urgency. If #PSU coach went to four dances and two Sweet 16s, he'd be there for life.
