Yep, didn't just immediately write off our new hire after one bad year. For shame. Just dig into some of the posts about Clawson after year 2 from certain extremely prolific, absurdly negative posters for some real gems. The internet doesn't forget the scorching hot takes on Manning year 3 either. As I've posted dozens of times, I'm never going to apologize for being an optimist when it comes to Wake sports. I know more than most about the behind-the-scenes world of the Dinos firing and the [Redacted] hiring. Didn't like the hire, but didn't ever move the goalposts on 4 years with no tourney bid or you should be fired. Manning gets one more year in my book because of year 3.
I know having a rational, consistent approach to Wake athletics that isn't mired in negativity is a rarity on this board. I'd say 80% of posters I know in the real world have long since ditched the boards because of it. I'm just here to talk hoops and recruiting, and can't help getting sucked dumb arguments like this on occasion just because the endless negativity can be overwhelming.
