Wonder who Bomani thinks we could've gotten in July/August 2007.
That's not going to happen.

Bomani Jones makes fun of the Dino hire all the time... talking about how they hired a guy to keep 1 recruiting class. Not really fair, but he has said it a few times.
Also, it was unlucky that Battle had such terrible circumstances around his family at the time too. And every decision seems easier in hindsight. Now that contract extension AFTER Cleveland State on the other hand...
deacfan, ou're always welcome to discuss what I've got wrong. That would be more grown-up than a silly cheap shot like that. Any time you want to take issue with one of my posts, please go on the record and do so.
The interim tag puts the program on pause. That's a positive, especially for a program heading slowly downhill. Just promoting an unqualified assistant for an undetermined amount of time potentially keeps the program in the wrong direction.
This is a morbid scenario, so I apologize in advance. What if Grobe passes away this spring or summer? Would you just automatically support naming Mitchell or Lobo as head coach and give him a 3-5 year contract?
Deacsfan27;1028665[B said:]Of course not. Wake Forest is also not a top 25 team in football right now either, much less coming off of one of the best players in the world coming to our University to play football.

This is as much of a red herring as comparing our basketball recruiting to football recruiting.
I might support naming Coach Galloway head coach though.
Is putting the program on pause really healthy, though? And was the program heading in the wrong direction at the time? We had had two bad years but had a ridiculous recruiting class lined up, improved in 07-08, and were #1 the next year.
To me, the interim tag screams "lame duck." Seems like you don't want an interim for the same reason you don't want a coach in the last year of his contract.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Skip passed away after the worst season of Wake basketball since Odom's 1st season. We weren't a Top 25 team at the end of that year. Chris Paul had finished his 2nd year in the NBA and wasn't walking through that door.
I stand by my theory that we should have kept Dino one more year then fired him after the 2010 season when we were under .500.
