Is Travis Steele a legit option or probably not? Chris Mack made 1.66M at Xavier, can't imagine Steele is making that or more.
Also, has Xavier ever hired a bad basketball coach?
Xavier is 20x the program Wake is right now and there's no way in hell Steele would leave Xavier for Wake. Therein lies another problem: how bad this job as become in relation to where it was 15 years ago (case in point, it was natural for Skip to take a step up and leave Xavier for Wake) There are other quality coaches out there, i.e. Ed Cooley at Providence, Hurley at ASU, and Anthony Grant at Dayton, who would be fools to leave those places for Wake right now. 20 years ago, they'd be fools for not leaving those schools. Wellman has not only crushed the day-to-day, year-to-year on court results but he's driven the profile of the job so far into the ground that it's virtually impossible to get a quality coach from programs that not all that long ago were far inferior to Wake Forest
