African-American Head Coaches at Wake

[wakefan1995]

I was reading the preview on BSD and thought to my self, Is Manning the first african american head basketball coach we've had? and how many african american head coaches has wake had in all sports?

 

[Deacfreak07]

At least three.

Manning MBB
Caldwell FB
Curtis WBB

Caldwell was the first African-American fb coach in the ACC IIRC.

Just say black tag: truth

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Would have been Battle if he wanted it after Skip passed, no?

 

[Deacfreak07]

That's the rumor.

 

[BillBrasky]

Is this the dumbest thread ever?

How the fuck were you a 1995 wake fan and not remember the near decade Caldwell was our football coach.

What an idiot

Manning was/is also the first good black head coach in any sport Wake Forest has ever had.

Pretty old rumor. Can we get confirmation or refutation at this point ?
