N.C. State will rue the day the 'Pack passed on Johnson
Posted Aug 16, 2008
Some mistakes, you get away with. Not because you're good, but because you're lucky. Switch lanes on the interstate without looking first: That's a mistake. If there's not a car next to you, congratulations. You just got away with it. Some mistakes, you don't get away with. And not because you're bad. But because you're unlucky. Don't hire Navy's Paul Johnson, when you had the chance, as your football coach. That's a mistake. That was North Carolina's State mistake 21 months ago, and for 21 months, the Wolfpack have gotten away with it.
