Meh. He identified John Beilein prior to him becoming a household name in college hoops and Beilein was coming to Wake if Skip took the Pitt job.
It wasn't a secret that Wellman and GDO never got along well but the decision to part ways in 2001 was good timing. And to be fair, his hands were tied to an extent on the Dino firing.
But hiring Bz was inexcusable and a panic hire when others higher on the list said no. And this set the table for the Manning hire when the Top 3 to 4 on the list also said no.
I thought Beilein was coming if Skip didn't come from X.. Dixon took Pitt in 03 instead of Skip and Beilein was already at WVU....
He would have been coming from Richmond when Skip came instead for 01.
