AD Ron Wellman Continues to Alienate Fan Base with Delusional Comments

Yep said the same thing earlier to Doofus. It seems mostly to be townies and people from the 80's and earlier who are all aboard the SS Wellman still.

Not me. I want his smirky ass in an assisted living facility.
 
Townies? Hell no. Don't put this shit on us.

The people who are propping up Wellman are the doofus face geriatric cuntwagons that went to Wake and need to have their egos waxed.

This is on you, you fucking losers.

Bingo! Yeah don't put put this on us. It's the Ols ass Wake grads who keep him here.
 
It will be interesting to see if some of this "media" criticism builds any momentum that might produce change. I don't think anyone is holding their breath, but Wellman is now being publicly called out in a very real way by two primary media sources that cover Wake athletics. Wellman has not been challenged like this in the media before, has he?
He's been called out by Collins and BSD plenty of times in the past. Also, Eamonn Brennan at ESPN.

I love how they put forward straw-man arguments such as if you want to get rid of Wellman, that means admitting Manning is a failure already and firing him too. I guess whenever an AD is fired at any school, every coach at the school is labeled a failure and fired as well?

I think it's possible to say that Manning should get more time and that Wellman should be fired for his role in the destruction of the basketball program as he definitely shouldn't have hired [name redacted] and probably shouldn't have hired an unproven and inexperienced guy directly afterward. Then if the team shows no improvement in a year or two, the new AD can make the call over what to do with the program.

I would agree with this. Arguably 3 of our 4 best players right now are Manning's freshman recruits. The only concerning aspect is how 2 of the 3 of them aren't getting a lot of playing time. I'd like to see what what year 3 and 4 look like with Manning's recruits before I'm ready to kick him to the curb.
 
I didn't say it's all townies I was just pointing out who the people in the comments section of the site predominantly are who are defending Wellman and it is townies and older grads
 
Townies? Hell no. Don't put this shit on us.

This is on you, you fucking losers.

Found the name for my band.
 
Guessing you work for Wake.

Here's a start:

- I take responsibility for where this program is at and has fallen, I will work with Danny to do everything possible to get back on track
- Yes, I am accountable for the hiring of Jeff [Redacted], I acknowledge I made that hire without the consultation of others, and admit he was not the right fit for the position. It was a major mistake on my behalf and has set the program back
- I am deeply concerned about this program, I can certainly understand the concerns of our fanbase in this regard
- Yes Dan, this is an inexperienced staff and there's do no doubt about that. Danny, while an accomplished player, is still learning on the job and we want to support him in his efforts
- The culture is not acceptable at present.
- I plan to resign following the conclusion of basketball season

A shred of honesty and some acceptance of accountability would do wonders for Wellman, but he's incapable of it

No sitting AD is going to say any of this except for #1.
 
I tried to watch that interview. My stomach turned before three minutes elapsed and I quit. The fact that RW is still the athletic director is a testament to poor management and lack of accountability. What became of fundamental honesty and humility at WFU?
