No P6 experience...virtually no HC experience...
My sources are telling me Manning is a dead man walking. The writing is on the wall.
It'd be nice and convenient if Wes were a stud coach.
But he's not
Watched part of the UNCG game tonight and part of the Winthrop v. Campbell game tonight. Was not impressed with the way either Wes Miller's or Pat Kelsey's teams played tonight. I don't think either of those guys will be enough to turn this thing around like Keatts did with NC State.
Neither were safe. They were both extreme reaches.But there is really no way to know... you have to take a shot and sometimes you miss. Our last two hires have been safe and conservative and still missed.

Who is a safe hire then?
Generally someone actually recognized by the press and others as a good coach or an up and coming coach. You know, a coach others are actually interested in hiring. No one was knocking down [Redacted] or Manning's doors when we came calling.
Thad Matta.
That John Pelphrey horse is getting pretty tired.
In fairness to Wellman, Bz and Manning were not terrible choices on paper (not great by any means but not terrible either).
It's just amazing to me that RW so badly misjudged their ability to connect with and motivate players. It shouldn't have taken more than five minutes of interviewing Bz to know he wasn't a good fit from a personality standpoint. Making those sorts of judgment calls and getting them right are what the guy gets paid to do.
