Anybody care about Wake b-ball anymore?

The front page of the Raleigh paper today :
"Wake filled a mere 36 per cent of seats at the Joel through the 2019 season’s first five home games". Only Pitt attracted less as a percentage of capacity. Also "since the early ‘60s the ACC had only a single coach endure four losing seasons in his first five and held his job. That was NC State’s Les Robinson." And that was after the academic scandals. The article also mentions how Manning was extended thru 2025 with a reported guarantee. Great stuff- geez please end the nightmare

I think the most likely scenario is Danny gets fired in March and a new hire is made. The biggest question is who makes the hire and will the right people help ensure its not another dud. Someone needs to email Sutton and Flow with a top 3 list that makes sense and not the garbage one Wellman keeps hidden in his panties.
 
Wellmans first three calls should be
Grant-COC
Oats-Buffalo
Otzelberger-SDSU
Those would be home run hires
 
why wait to fire him? do it now.
worst thing that could happen is for him to get an upset or two and wellman go "well, maybe things are turning around."
it's over. dude would be dismissed at any other P5 program with this shit show
 
Shah didn’t make his money by holding on to bullshit failure investments. Obviously he and others are letting their emotions affect decisions here
 
“what we saw today was a team that handled the ball like it was radio-active and played the kind of defense that would shame an over-40 team at the local Y.“

We can’t assume a guy who made money doing one thing is smart about using his money for other things.
 
"The rank-and-file fans have been wise to the dumpster fire consuming their once proud program, but the problem is, any and all protestations are falling on deaf ears. Best anyone can tell, the man most responsible for the plight of all Wake athletics, Ron Wellman, simply no longer cares.

On the other hand, Ron Wellman, by not addressing the current contract status of Danny Manning, is showing that he doesn’t care what you as the rank-and-file fan thinks.
"

Nailed it. Anyone who attends games or continues to enable this shit, really doesn't understand just how bad things have become.
