Danny Manning replacement search thread

Show me one example in the past 50 years in the ACC when a coach with one year as an assistant at a much lower level school was hired to be a men's bball HC in the ACC.

He wouldn't have made it to last season at Wake. He would have been fired after Year 4 or 5. There's no logic to think an inexperienced coach in bad conference would have done as well or better in the ACC.
 
Any time you have a chance to hire a coach who has reached 1 NCAA tournament in 8 years as a HC, you have to do it.
 
When was the last time an ACC team hired a coach who had only one year as an assistant coach at a lower level program? We also know that HOF Wes' first five seasons at UNC-G created a record of 60-92 in the awful Southern Conference. If you want to talk about records, he wouldn't have been re-signed after Year 4 or 5 at Wake with that record.

As to what happened at Wake vs. UNCG, you know that's a nonsensical concept. By the way, before becoming HC at UNC-G, he had multiple more years as an assistant.

Sadly, I don't know that the bolded is true. Seems like 60-92 may not have gotten an 18M contract extension, but it may have not gotten hire fired (or only 5M and two years).
 
The difference is Wes had nothing in his past to give him another chance. It's also tough to assume that he would have done as well in the ACC as he did in SoCon.
 
Thanks for acknowledging his success. Hope he gets a shot at Wake. Who knows what would have happened had he been given a shot in 2009 or 2014.
 
Hearing rumors that this thread was slipped into Jeffrey Epstein's cell early on Saturday morning...

If Wake did something no ACC school has done in the modern era and hired HOF Wes in 2009, he'd be gone by now.

That's your opinion only. Who knows how history would have played out. We do know that Buzz/Manning didn't work.
 
That's using half a century of result and of his results at UNC-G for five years.

You still haven't shown a single person ever having been hired to be a HC in the ACC with that level of experience.
 
You were NUTS touting Miller for the job ten years ago and five ago. He had no qualilifications that warranted consideration at those points. Ten years ago, he had ZERO experience. But you REFUSE to admit that no P6 school has hired a bball coach with ZERO experience in at least the past fifty years.

You also REFUSE to admit that five years ago, Miller was a absolute failure at UNC-G and had ZERO P6 experience. Again, he was close to being qualified to be HC at a P6 school.

Hell, you REFUSE to even admit that RJ sent emails to senior management at Wake when there are two threads showing he did. You're right! Let's hire your barber....No more resumes in any job. Just like you supporting Trump for POTUS...

We don't know what would have happened if we had given Ph the job instead of [Redacted], either. Still seems like a dumb thing to argue about.

Hell, we don't know what would happen if we gave Ph the job TODAY. Let's do it!
 
if the alternative is letting Manning ride out his contract, I say we give Ph the job right now on a 4-year contract

salary is $100k per year with an unlimited recruiting budget and all the leftover @Dovemenscare he can use

$100k bonus per ACC win; $200k per ACCT win Thursday or later; $300k per NCAA win

Coach K and Dean Smith had resumes about like Miller's right now when hired at Duke and UNC

WTF are you talking about?

Deano was an assistant at Kansas for two years, at Air Force for three years and at UNC for three years before being made HC. You can't be fucking serious in comparing that to ONE year a Elon.

K was an assistant at Indiana for a year and HC at Army for five years before going to Duke.

Put the bong down. That's the only excuse for posting your BS.

Wes, has what? 3 So Con regular season titles or 4?

The goal is not to hire the most qualified coach. That would be Bob Knight. The goal is to hire the one likely to do the most for WF over the next 30 years.

neither of these answers is correct

There you go changing the subject again. You tried to compare the experience HOF Wes to Deano and K.

He had ZERO in 2009....
