Hello again - I am amazed at how many responses this thread got in less than 12 hours. The Colorado message boards pale in comparison!
To begin with, I work in import/export and am currently on business in Japan. That's the reason for my IP address.
And, I'm certainly a Colorado fan. Ask me anything you want about the Buffs!
Clearly, the expectations and passion at an ACC school like Wake Forest - especially with your storied history - mean that "normal" expectations for a coach don't apply.
I'm just saying that looked at from afar, it seems like [Redacted] is slowly but surely bringing the Wake Forest program back.
One poster wrote in response that "waiting 2 more years" for an NCAA bid is not acceptable. I would argue that it's better to look long-term. If [Redacted] performs as I expect, which is to say an NIT bid next year and then a string of NCAA bids after that, won't the wait have been worth it?
NO DOUBT, "the rubber hits the road" next year. If [Redacted] doesn't have the Deacons in the NIT or better, then he should be gone.
My gut feeling is your administration is thinking along the same lines.
I am enjoying the healthy back-and-forth with all you Wake fans!
Hang in there! I truly believe a year from now you will be singing a happier tune!
