I'm all for Kelsey. But like Miller we have missed our shot. He almost got the GT job last year. Wellman gave him the same cold shoulder he gives his grandchildren at swim meets. Like Miller, he'll have a major job and be kicking our ass soon.
The AAC is mid major. But whatever. Kelsey and Miller will get AAC (and maybe ACC) offers this year or next.

The AAC is just the Big East football schools. The Big East wasn't mid-major, so the AAC shouldn't be.
This is a pretty terrible argument because only 3 of the 12 current AAC schools were ever in the Big East. Seven of them joined the AAC from Conference USA, which is definitely a mid-major.
Four AAC teams were in the Big East. Either way they didn't drop to a mid-major.
Yes I would. Since I actually pay attention to society.
Why would one not actually watch Miller coach before engaging in this discussion? I gave Wellman the benefit of the doubt on Manning and Bz falsely assuming he had seen tapes of them both. Then I watched in horror as they did nothing on the sidelines.

You all are watching the paint dry on semantics while we are missing this chance at Miller. If I was our AD, I'd be in discussions right now for Miller to take over after this year.
Wellman has this inner belief that it hurts you to fire after one or two years. That was true in 1995. Not now. When it's obvious it isn't going to work and you have a better option, you go with it. See Virginia Tech. You don't see them suffering or a backlash because they upgraded after a year. There are an entirely different set of rules in the Trump era and Wellman will not adopt them to our detriment.
Putting the nonsense in bold aside, you're not objective on Miller.
No Wes Miller, no Pat Kelsey, no Chris Mack. We need somebody with no previous ties to Wake. Nobody from the Prosser coaching tree. Nobody with a kid already enrolled at MSD. And definitely not Miller (that's not a knock on him, just a recognition that he wouldn't be a good fit for obvious reasons).
I'm not ready to give up on Manning, but if/when another change is made, we need a totally fresh start across the board. Same goes for the leadership in the AD - no Wellman underlings when he finally retires, or we're just in for 30 more years of being below average in hoops.
Wes Miller up to 5 straight conference road wins. (that's more than we've had in 7 years COMBINED). He will enter the conference tournament in first (2nd time in his 4 years). Even if they don't win the tournament, he'll likely be getting a better job than ours in April. We missed our window.
Once in a lifetime opportunity to have a basketball coaching prodigy grow up before our eyes and have now missed that chance. Some guy from California (RJKarl) understandably wouldn't get it by looking a the numbers before now. But everyone who spoke to humans (not Wellman) around WF games the last 20 years watched it coming from a mile away. Too bad. He could have rescued us from the ditch Ron has thrown us in. But far worse, he was the one chance we had at a multi-decade run. This one will hurt in 2035.
