"Buyout" - not to change to sunshine, but I just can't see it. It may be different in the college coaching world, but a "buyout" is usually to keep others away and protect your investment in a guy, not punish yourself if you want to can 'em, and a contract as long as Danny's for anything...

I would love re-runs of actual games. Much happier watching last night's game at the gym, even knowing the final, than a broadcast of two clowns yelling at each other.

Everybody in the soccer world knows that "Tragedy" was Georgios Samaras. Relatedly, our man should not be confused with this also-now-terrible striker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantinos_Mitroglou

Does Green really need to add anything to his College-HOF career at this point? #HangIt

YES. 6'10" or no, four buttons is two too many.

The fact that this leak came from "a source close to the process" means that, just like Mack, it was intentional. As in: we obviously haven't released much, so there's no downside to letting people know we're interested in a mid-major coach who's a good guy, has an NBA pedigree, connections to...

It's sad that the exciting times are those that do not remotely relate to actually playing games. But the basketball and football hires probably make this the most exciting time in Wake sports since the OB.

Welp, that's the last time I trust a tweet that says "We have our sources in the same way that @ESPN often has sources."

To me, it smells like a move to get our old friend Mack a raise from Xavier, and maybe smooth over the Dino stuff in the process.

Right - he's Mr. Xavier. Seems like a nice favor from Ron to give a guy with Deacon ties a raise from Xavier.

I've come to the conclusion that if it's not a well-known name for the casual fan, it's gotta be Archie. His trajectory is crystal clear. And he was at State for what, seven or eight years? He and his hot wife should be willing to stay for a while.

That one really got me good. Brilliant

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Archie Miller played at N.C. State. Interesting to see if Wake Forest would be in play. Ron Wellman needs to hit it with this hire.

Still, 46-18 at the half in an 8-9 game is better than 43-10 at half in a 7-10 game, right?
