QUESTION: The Russell Wilson saga has been dissected but on a general level, do you feel any thoughts on the rule whereby a player can essentially become a free agent without sitting out a year.

N.C. STATE COACH TOM O’BRIEN: It’s probably a
good rule. I think for situations that guys find
themselves in, especially if there’s changing
coaching staffs, there’s probably a lot of reasons, if
you sat down and thought of them, that guys might
have an opportunity to play. If they decide to go
play again somewhere else, you know, I don’t have
a problem with it at all. We were really happy for
Russell and wishing the best.

QUESTION: Last week playing against Cincinnati, did that think you may be would have been better off with Wilson as a senior quarterback this year?

COACH O’BRIEN: No, I haven’t
had that thought once all year.
