I heard in 2024 that Avent wanted Corrigan to name Hart as the Head Coach in Waiting. Corrigan did not agree.

Got this information from the father of an Avent employee.

Interesting. I guess Boo has already decided he wants to go in a different direction then?

With regards to naming a coach in waiting, I believe that's actually not allowed regardless of what EA or Boo wanted. I've also heard from multiple people that EA wants the job to go to Hart, but you still have to go through the motions of a hire.

Lu and I have been season ticket holders for many years. There have been several years where baseball has been our favorite team out of all sports at NC State. I believe Elliott Avent has earned the right to decide when he steps down. He has done more with less than any coach in the country and has poored his heart and soul into NC State. Elliott will not say anything about his future until after the last game is finished, because he would never distract attention from his players! He is a man of great character as well as a great coach. I am admittedly biased because I knew Elliott's Mom and Dad for many years and know where his great values were founded. They were best friends with my in-laws in Red Oak, NC and I grew to love them dearly. I used to call his Mom regularly after his Dad passed away. They were such great "salt of the earth" people! Again, he has earned the right decide. His dedication and passion for NC State is second to none!

Jesus, Family, Wolfpack!

Don't know. Negotiations ended there. A lot could have changed over the past two seasons.

I was also told that Avent wasn't going to announce his retirement before a season started. He didn't want a "Farewell Tour." He would announce after the conclusion of the season.

I agree that Avent is remarkable getting more out of less, this year being the latest example, but the last few years I don't buy that State has "less" anymore. Pre-NIL and portal when we talked facilities all day... sure. But even though we know they don't max their NIL, they aren't short on talent. They get draft guys to campus, hang on to their stars and have 5+ guys drafted every year. They've been top 15 team in the preseason the last two seasons and at no point have they played like that. That's my concern with Avent moving forward. He's better with "less" than he is with "more"

Its a much better look for the program to let him come back olif he wants for a year than unceremoniously dump a man who has done as well as he has these 20 plus years. Then make your choice as to whether Hart is next up or you going in a different direction.
