The loser PEAKED at .500 and 10th place in conference with one of the best players to play the game at Wake. He has less conference wins in 5 seasons than Gaudio in 3 and needs 4 this year in order to surpass Dino.“Hasn’t produced an ACC winner” somehow feels way too generous to describe the depths of the shitty job he’s done here.
Frankly, it sounds like substance abuse. The statement just has that kind of language.
Apparantly not....strong rumors of sexual harassment of his female DOBO.
Well that’s particularly shitty.
Yup....a very promising career likely destroyed.
Not necessarily. He’s the son of a well regarded coach. He will be on someone’s bench soon enough. I’m more concerned about the DOBO.
He's gonna be toxic for a long time....
pretty good racket coaches and agents have going where a guy like Manning would have to be paid handsomely to be fired

It's perfectly legal and just common sense for a highly-paid professional (like a D1 hoops coach) to engage an agent with good legal and negotiating skills to represent them in contract negotiations. And in that situation, the coach and their agent are entitled to assume that the negotiations will be fair to all sides, because on the other side of the bargaining table you have a competent athletic administration, backed up by legal counsel, who won't commit to the school to an unreasonable deal.
Can you guess which of these elements was missing when Wake hired Manning?
It wasn't the initial hire. It was the extension.
Fair enough. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say the initial hire was "high risk, high reward."
After Bzdelick, it was, as you said, a high risk, but potentially high reward hire. However, to quote Charlie Brown, "great potential is man's greatest burden."
Fair enough. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say the initial hire was "high risk, high reward."
We thought any hire after [Redacted] was low risk. Who could be worse? Well Manning could.
The fightin’ Wes Millers have a good chance to take down Kansas tonight.
Might as well get the Wes to Wake hype machine going early this year.
