DANNY BOSTON COLLEGE POST GAME PRESSER.

It’s a well paying job. Supposedly coaching basketball. Seems like a sweet starter gig to me.
Never mind that there are plenty of more qualified people that could have been hired. And never mind the optics of a failing organization in which the boss chooses to promote his own son rather than looking for an influx of talent from somewhere else.

It's just another absurd decision that demonstrates Manning's complete incompetence as the leader of a program.
 
With all of the legit things to criticize Danny Manning about, this is fucking ridiculous.

What does this position pay? 40k?

Lining pockets, indeed.

Not a big deal. Maybe not. If the previous coach had done the same thing, 95% on here would have been screaming bloody murder about it.

And they'd be right. It's something you'd let slide if Manning were successful, but it's just absurd to hire, and then promote your own son on a failing staff. This isn't Manning's private business to do with as he pleases. It's a huge step in the coaching door for Evan to be hired directly out of college by his pops. Who else was interviewed/considered? And that doesn't even touch on the internal team dynamics, which have obviously been an issue with so many folks leaving. The father/son dynamics of player/coach and coach/coach, and worries of favoritism, could certainly be a part of that.

It doesn't matter whether it's $40K or $400K, it's still absurd. And you know it's absurd, because if it was actually a feel good story, the AD would be feeding it as a talking point to the announcers...Mannings/Childresses together at Wake. Instead, there wasn't even a public release.
 
Didn’t Kansas hire Manning’s father to be on the staff at like before he signed? Just saying.
