to achieve next year in order for you personally to think he should get another year.

I think for me, it would be the Sweet 16 or a comparable level of performance (good regular season, semis of acc tournament, close 2nd round loss) I would be OK with it.

1) Lose no players to transfer who can contribute
2) Top 25 Recruiting Class for fall of 2020
3) Above .500 ACC regular season
4) At least 1 ACC Tourney win and at least 1 NCAA Tourney win
 
Since Manning was retained I’ve thought about this several times. I would certainly like to see major improvements in defense (particularly ball pressure) and offensive sets. I would like to see us stop committing the same mistakes (like fouls on hedges). But if I had to draw a line in the sand, I would go with round of 32 in NCAAs. That obviously doesn’t sound that impressive, but it would be a pretty big improvement from the last two years.

Just like players and teams can improve, a coaching staff can also improve. I don’t expect it, based on what I’ve seen, but it could happen.
 
Another 11-20 season or worse. With his past record, no other coach in the country would have kept his job; therefore, winning is meaningless as it relates to his job security.
 
Final four and top 50 incoming class for 2020. At this point I’d expect Kansas to step in and still wouldn’t be sad.
 
1. Make the tournament
2. Top 30 KenPom team
3. Make it to the quarters of the ACCT

At a bare minimum he needs the above.

this is fucking hilarious. wake is dumb as fuck. if manning does succeed, KU would throw everything they have at him to come coach there. manning would leave. so wake would be looking for a new coach.
so basically, if he succeeds he leaves or he continues to sucks shit and stays. good job wellman
 
Haha, we have some suckers who still want to believe.

I certainly don't believe that he will accomplish any of these things I was just throwing out the hypothetical because I was curious what people thought.
 
Don’t worry... Manning said we will definitely take a step forward. He isn’t sure how big of a step, but a step nonetheless.

Agreed. I don’t think we’ll accomplish the modest goals I laid out, but I think it’s at least an interesting discussion. Thanks for starting the thread.

I’m not sure he said “forward.” Just that we would “take a step.”
