Then don't act surprised when your carpet and seats get pissed on.
Might as well put this interview here.
I think you meant VICTORIANYeah should’ve gone with a more appropriate reference.
He really said he wanted to do a SWOT analysis? Of a program with two straight 20 loss seasons.
Well, to be honest, the program IS an infection. :/He really said he wanted to do a SWOT analysis? Of a program with two straight 20 loss seasons.
Manning is the weakness.
Well, to be honest, the program IS an infection. :/
Do the analysis but don’t do it with someone who is the main weakness and can’t do anything to address the threats or take advantage of opportunities. It’s an empty, futile gesture.
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Everything
Opportunities: Fire Manning and hire better coach
Threats: Wellman, Hatch, Manning's contract and excessive buyout, lack of accountability at the highest levels, no commitment to winning from the highest levels
He can't do anything about Manning right now.
Interesting. At a lot of schools, the AD is able to make hiring and firing decisions.
At a lot of schools, the AD would have to get President and/or Board approval before writing an eight figure check to buy a coach out.

Of course those same schools would never need to pay an 8 figure buy out.
I believe 2 & 2 addressed how that should be handled. Give the lawyers Wake is graduating some work and litigate that. Pay what you have to when you have to. Make that last a long time if Manning will not budge.
In the mean time, hire a real coach and revive the program.
There is just so little upside in keeping Manning this year.
Even if he somehow learned how to coach, his rep and imminent demise has killed his ability to recruit.
