What?
While Gottfried's last two years were around .500 and Keatts final year was sub-.500 as well, they both did well in their tenures at NC State.
Gottfried coached for 6 seasons at NC State and made the NCAAs in his first 4 years. He missed the post-season in his final two years.
Keatts coached for 8 seasons at NC State. The 2020 post-season was cancelled, but NC State was likely to make the NCAAs that year. If NC State makes the NCAAs in 2020, that would be 4 NCAA Tournaments and 2 NIT Tournaments, while missing the post-season twice, including his final year.
Those records are not "weren't good".
