Danny Manning replacement search thread

The new coach will have a decent first year core in Chaundee, Mucius, Massoud and Sarr. I think Neath could be a solid player with good coaching. The cupboard won't be completely bare.

Would we keep Marcus Watson?

Watson
Neath
Sharone Wright - I still believe he can play, if coached well.
Chaundee
Massound
Mucius
The Iguana
Sarr


Inj: Tariq Ingraham?

Decent talent, just totally mismanaged, duh.
 
I think Bill Coen might be worth looking at in the future. Two NCAAT appearances for a hard to recruit for Northeastern team. Also coached for a while under Al Skinner at BC.
 

Well, the old “hard to recruit unless your Duke or Carolina” saying comes to mind from GDO at the end of his tenure. Of course, he had been recruiting fairly well beforehand, as did Skip, but the point still stands. We need someone that’s going to be able to compete in recruiting against the rest of the in-house rivals for the 3-4 years solid players.
 
I don't know man. We're historically bad. I might throw Rice football out there. They had a 10-4 year in 2013 where they lost the Liberty Bowl 44-7 to a Dak Prescott MSU team, but that was in the midst of three straight bowl games. David Bailiff coached there 11 years and went 57-80 with a 3-1 bowl record.

What's so incredibly bad with this Wake team is that they constantly lose to really bad teams, which only happens every now and then in CFB.

Good call. I was thinking maybe UVA pre-Bronco or Duke pre-Cut as recent historical comparisons. Also Vandy before Franklin.
 
The deal runs through 2024-25, right? It’s only five more seasons. We can celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first ACC Championship and escort Manning out the door. We’ve wasted 10 years. What’s five more?

Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Len Chappell?

Watson is supposed to very good. Our weakness would be having a banger.
 
Fire DM Dec 8, Rex Walters interim.

Announce a commitment to basketball, and a process for finding a replacement. Make a major outreach attempt to re establish some credibility with the fan base. Now we are being laughed at.

It's a tough sell to fire a College Basketball coach halfway through the season. It's an even tougher sell to fire a recently extended coach (yes, I know Mr. Wellman finalized it last year), who's coaching at a program that hasn't been to the NCAAT in nearly ten years.

Not going to happen. I know it's not what some of you want to hear, but it simply will not happen here at all. We have to wait until the season ends, after which Currie will assess everything and make his decision. If he's going to be gone after the season, it will most likely be announced in the final three weeks of March. You know it. I know. We all know it.

Hate me all you want, you know I'm just stating the facts.

Wellman sold you on firing Dino the same season he got an extension and made the tournament.

Lots of stuff going on in the background with that. I'm not talking anymore about it. Go talk to one of the highlighted green names on another thread if you want to go down that road again.
 
Now we know this is not a new poster because he has referenced 1) rafi being an AD spy and 2) green super user names. So now we know it’s an old poster with a new parody.

I told you I've been a lurker for years. I've followed loosely on here and the old boards since somewhere around 2005-2006.
 
This won't be popular but we need a very hungry game changer who will make a statement from day one...a guy who will bring us global coverage like we've never seen. A guy who will not cower down to K, Roy or Tony.

That man is Rick Pitino

Just go ahead and change our name to Sleezeball U while we're at it.
