ESPN: Danny Manning considered for WFU job, meets with Wellman 3/31/14

RW's personality, style, rep. The fact he's not going to be here through the first contract.

This is a dream job for Shaka. It's everything he has wanted for years. It's small, quality education, a community that he and his family can be a part of and top bball.

With the bucks we have to spend, it should be the no brainer of all no brainers.

My fear is RW put $3M/year for 7-10 years on the table and said "take it or leave it" and pissed Shaka off. $3M was a good place to start, but there was more in our back pocket. I'm worried that RW's ego got in the way like Pete Dalis did at UCLA over and over again.

Like, I know we say this sort of thing a lot, but literally everything in that RJ post is completely made up.

As usual you have no clue what you are talking about. Why don't you PM Brews and ask him if he's actually seen some of the stuff "I've completely made up"?
 
I love it, rj is keeping the Shaka dream alive!
 
Not sure if it has been mentioned here or not, but based on what Mr. Wellman and [Redacted] have suggested - imagine the impact that Danny Manning will have on Daniel Green's career. It's not hanging yet, but . . .

Let's just say the landscape has changed in college basketball. Winning as a mid-major is more common and not all coaches are clamoring to get into the ACC. It isn't as easy as rolling out 3M...you have to actually convince coaches life will be a lot better at Wake vs. their current situation. I know I'll be called LOWF...etc. but this is not only the reality for WFU, it is the reality for all the non-premeir programs (see Marquette).

Not new information. We've been talking about this for years. Wellman missed a chance to hire a coach after Skip. He blew it with Bz. Now the climate is bad for getting a successful coach to come to a down program unless it's VT apparently.

I'm not in that mindset yet. No one has publicly said they were in the mix and turned us down. Everything that is out there is speculation and some of it may be disinformation coming from the AD. I'm trying to overcome my Danny Manning meltdown. It won't happen again until the deal goes down.

pressure is on Wellman for this hire. His reputation and legacy is on the line here. A big strike out would sink Wellman at Wake and his reputation nationally
 
I wish he had come home empty handed four years ago.
