Ollie was an assistant coach under Calhoun for 2 years(including their National Championship in 2011) before being named interim coach in 2012. That was a one year $625,000 contract. 3 months later he was given a five year extension. The terms are below.

Ollie will receive a base salary of $400,000 per calendar year and for 2013 he will receive $800,000 for institutional speaking engagements and media related appearances for a total of $1,200,000. The payment for institutional speaking engagements will increase by $50,000 each year. Ollie's total compensation for each year of the agreement will be: 2013-$1,200,000; 2014-$1,250,000; 2015-$1,300,000; 2016-$1,325,000; 2017-$1,340,000; 2018-$502,500 (annualized from Jan. 1-April 15).

Ollie will receive the following payments for postseason performance: one month of annual base salary ($33,333) for winning a conference regular season championship; one month for winning a conference postseason tournament; one month for participating in the NCAA tournament; one month for reaching the Regional Semifinals of the NCAA tournament; one month for advancing to the NCAA Final Four; and two months for winning the national championship. Ollie will also receive a half month salary bonus ($16,666) for being named a national or conference coach of the year.

Ollie will receive a payment of $10,000 for an annual NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 930 or above in a single year. A four-year APR score of 930 or above will result in a one-time payment of $50,000.

$33k for a post-season win. $10k for a "good" APR. That's the reality in the NCAA for ya and what WFU is up against.

Perhaps Manning's contract offer is laden with such incentives and a greater emphasis on academic growth and progress?

Is there any chance someone just pulled that number out of their arse and all Manning said was WF is interested. Maybe someone over there has been reading these boards and some of the hysteria that has been flying around over here when nothing official has come out. I can't blame him if he is working the system to get a better deal. He has to look out for his assistants whom he wants to retain and move half way across the country. How many of you would leave your job under those circumstances without trying to get everything you can? Does anyone have any proof that DM has said ANYTHING publically other than the "interested" comment?

ACC Insider
Deacons’ hire still on hold as Manning mulls offer
Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 9:03 by Brett Friedlander
Danny Manning talks to his players during Tulsa's opening round NCAA tournament loss to UCLA
Danny Manning talks to his players during Tulsa’s opening round NCAA tournament loss to UCLA

Danny Manning had a flair for the dramatic during a playing career in which he led Kansas to a college basketball national championship in 1988.

Apparently he hasn’t lost his touch now that he’s a coach.

More than 24 hours after receiving an offer to take over the program at Wake Forest – and a counter offer to stay at Tulsa – the suddenly hot commodity still hasn’t decided where he wants to work next season.

Manning met with Wake president Nathan Hatch and toured the school’s Winston-Salem campus on Wednesday and was reportedly offered a contract worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million annually.

That’s at least double what he’s being offered to stay at Tulsa, where he led the Hurricanes to a 21-13 overall record (13-3 in conference) and a trip to the NCAA tournament in his second year as a head coach.

Several published reports said that Manning is leaning toward taking the Wake job. But as of Thursday evening, he still hadn’t made a decision.

That’s not necessarily a bad sign for the Deacons.

According to Rivals.com website Deacons Illustrated, Manning was en route to Dallas on Thursday. That’s the site of this weekend’s Final Four. Wake athletic director Ron Wellman, who is currently serving as chairman of the NCAA men’s basketball committee, is also in Dallas.

The 47-year-old Manning, who attended high school in Greensboro, has a 38-29 overall record as a head coach. He previously spent nine seasons as an assistant at Kansas. The Wake Forest job has been open since Jeff [Redacted] “resigned” on March 20.
 
I really don't even know how to feel about this hire. I was so pumped up that we were going to hit a home run. I expected at the very least Miller, Howland, etc. But Danny Effing Manning. Sacrifice bunt that doesn't advance the runners, Ronnie. Time for you to get the heck on out of winston you held on to Caldwell for way too long. You made a good hire. But held on to Grobe too long, as well. Awesome hire in clawson, so there's that. Made what is possibly the worst & most baffling hire in [Redacted]. Then you alienate the fan base. Blame Dino for our short comings. Claims that the idiot is Jesus Christ himself. Trying to save face with manning? Just go ahead and hop on in your casket along with WFU basketball. We'll be by soon to put the headstone on.

Manning did get an offer despite all this.

Maybe I missed something but I don't see Manning or Tulsa tarnished by this story. Maybe this is not all the story and maybe Wellman looks at it differently but so far it doesn't even get to the level of a student conduct code problem.
 
Fwiw I heard we jumped from shaka to manning fairly fast. I don't know if we can necessarily assume archie and anyone else turned us down.

Shaka was a definitive no and actually gave the no answer on Monday, and I think jay wright was a wish list candidate but nothing going there.

But it's possible (from what I am hearing) that manning was probably closer to 3 on the list than 6.
