#BuzzOut Website: FireBz.com. "3 year pattern that needed to be addressed" R Wellman

Add this to the links section http://www.gazette.com/articles/[Redacted]-97084-ramsey-happy.html

It is from 2010 and basically CO saying good riddance.

Did my part today to get to 1MM. Even sent Wellman an email he'll undoubtedly never read.

A million hits in a month is pretty impressive. Definitely pimp the hell out of that.

$10 says Dan never talked to that guy or any UC reporters about the hire.
 
Let me make a wild prediction:

Next spring, when Wake Forest’s season concludes, [Redacted] will be testing the NBA waters again. The man knows no other way.

Damn you David Ramsey, why did you have to be so wrong?

why are we seeing this article now?

I've seen it (scattered along with several other Ramsey quotes on Bz) pop up for the past couple of years...

I did see this dug up on the Scout boards recently:

"I too am beginning to question just what the HELL is going on here. This is beginning to be ridiculous, to say the least. It really appears like [Redacted] is burning bridges almost everywhere he turns."

"I think we all can agree- BZ's first 12 months have been a complete disaster. I understand that a coach always has a few changes with a new staff, but what has happened under [Redacted] is ridiculous."

This is excellent! It does need to be accompanied by a brief write-up. People need to realize that by scheduling so many cupcake opponents, Buzz is doing the poker equivalent of dealing from a stacked deck. When you know just how much of this "cheating" Buzz has done, you realize that the supposed "improvement" over the last two years is just an illusion.

I understand what you mean about denying improvement but this chart is too good not to be on FireBz.com. May I suggest adding the chart with a simple notation - "Please take note of the increase in the number of opponents outside the top 100 when Jeff [Redacted] took over the job of creating the schedule."

You also need to add white to the chart legend...

consider my wound reopened just from viewing that top pic. he always liked me in basketball camps because i was a fellow ginger. maybe not the most athletic, but he knew i tried my best and strived for his approval. even made me sit with him at lunch most days in the pit. i'll never forget his "abc's" speech (academics, basketball, and character) and how he turned around josh howard's life (for the end of his college career at least). he was the epitome of a great human being, and could inspire even the most godforsaken individual. he will NEVER be forgotten by me or any of my children. and i will always aspire to be the man he was. much more than a coach to this guy...

I have to keep some things exclusive to OGBoards.com, or else nobody would ever come here :thumbsup:

You're right, the chart probably does belong on the site but I made it a while back just indending to prove my point in some random thread; that's why its not exactly the tidiest with the legend and what not.

I'll think about how to clean it up/include it today.
 
Alright, this is the version that has been added to the comparisons page:

I know it doesn't look perfect, but at least I got the legend straightened out & added the combined records.

I think I'll let people visiting FireBz.com derive their own conclusions on what this graph means in terms of S.o.S.

Excellent! And thank you for all the work you have put into this. I think it really is driving the point home and getting thru to at least some of those who otherwise would believe the ridiculous propaganda coming from the AD's office.
 
Facts & statistics providing accountability. Glad my boss isn't looking at this. He'd have fired me 2 years ago.

ETA: Errr...my boss would haven't hired me in the first place with previous results like this.

After almost three years of [Redacted] - can he coach - no, can he recruit - no, but he is fortunate to have assistants who can, can he motivate the supporters - no, is he popular with the students - no, is he good with the press - no. Is he an effective fund-raiser - no. It seems to me that Ron Wellman needs to stop trying to save face, and start finding a new coach, in an attempt to save his ass.

Embarrassing that Wellman hired Buzz when it was so clear to people who knew Buzz that he was a disaster waiting to happen.

Just another reason why Wellman needs to go along with his buddy.
