Regardless of who gets credit for what, Wellman’s announcing Clawson’s extension on his way out the door was a putz move. “Look at me! I’m powerful!” Let Currie do it (if he agrees with 8-year extension.)
This is a really dumb thread. Currie was dealt a shit hand at a shit time by a deflated AD. Let’s see what he does with it first before crucifying him. He’s been here officially for less than two weeks...
Two hours should have been enough to become a hero. He had a no-lose play but decided to stand pat. He owns this year.
He could still fire Manning. He could even hire a new coach. Miller and Matta were two of the board’s top options and they are still available.

Matta isn't going to coach anywhere as long as he is getting checks for not coaching. His checks continue through the 2019-2020 basketball season.
I like how so many of you guys think Currie today, Wellman yesterday, or anyone else in the athletic department at Wake is calling the shots on whether Manning gets fired or not.
Also, bump to keep this thread up top for the great optics!

Head of Departments of corporations have some autonomy but they are still subject to oversight particularly when it regards Financial obligations.That is so weird to think an AD wood make hiring and firing decisions for coaches.
Don't they know that is a figurehead position whose main responsibility is to wine and dine top donors to keep the dollars flowing.
I wish we had better oversight when we were obligating ourselves.
The one piece of data which I think is interesting is beilien going to Cleveland because he became frustrated w the college system.
I'm not saying this is why manning wasn't fired, but the landscape is shifting and it is unclear what the outcome will be.
There are a number of articles I have read/skimmed that lament beilien leaving for the NBA, and consider it a "dark day" or "bad sign."
Beilien is considered a clean coach - as is manning. Of course, beilien has succeeded at along w jay wright and Tony Bennett. The number of coaches succeeding without recruiting one and dones is dwindling.
