She referred to a coach who will bring "Alabama type talent".
I definitely am not an expert on NC State but from the outside looking in it looks like O'brien wasn't a terrible coach, he led them to 3 straight bowls and won 2, they should've at least let him coach the team in their upcoming bowl game. I can see your points as valid, but they should've given him more time because there is a low ceiling to what NC State can accomplish.
