If NC State does decide to fire Mark Gottfried, it appears fans won't be too broken up about it.
The Wolfpack head coach was greeted with a chorus of boos prior to Wednesday's game versus North Carolina. A report surfaced Tuesday that Gottfried could be on his way out of NC State after the team has stumbled to a 3-11 mark in conference play.
With one of the more talented freshmen in the country in Dennis Smith Jr. at Gottfried's disposal, expectations of a tournament berth were no doubt on the minds of NC State brass heading into 2016-17.
Things didn't get any better for Gottfried later on in the evening, as he was handed another convincing defeat by in-state rival North Carolina.
