Danny Manning replacement search thread

Manning is gone after this year if he doesn't win 15+ games IMO.

I understand cynicism given what Wake has been through the last decade but this type of post is just bullshit.

How many of these posts did we see last year?
 
Manning has won more than 15 games once in 5 seasons. Why would he be guaranteed to get fired after his 5th out of 6 seasons with under 15 wins?
 
Sweet! We can retain our moral authority over a program that's losing as bad as we are!
 
The ACC seemingly has more craptastic programs right now than at any time in its history.

WF, GT, BC and Pitt are all terrible. Mike Brey has earned the benefit of the doubt, but ND went 3-15 last year and signed exactly zero recruits from the incoming 2019 class; could not believe it when I saw that the Irish went 0 for the 2019 recruiting season. Feel like Miami is heading in the wrong direction with the Adidas investigation and with Larranaga turning 70 this year. VT is essentially starting from scratch have lost their top 5 players from last year, and with a late start in recruiting due to Buzz's late change to A&M. In the past, there might have been 1 or 2 bad programs and the rest of the ACC could literally beat anyone else in the league (or the country) at any point. Not the case any more.

UVA, UNC, and Duke are on another level right now, and FSU and L'ville have competency and continuity, but the rest of the ACC is a hot mess right now. Really sad. Just not a competitive league.

Pomeroy started his site in 2002

from 2002-2010, the ACC never had a team rated worse than #137 (UNC in 2002), and in those 9 years had a total of 12 teams rated at or below #100

in the 9 years from 2011-19, the ACC has had a total of 30 teams rated at or below #100, and 11 rated at or below #150 - with at least one worse than #150 every year

just utterly craptastic

New AD, additional sample size (making it 5/6 years that he would have failed to win 15 games), and different financial situation.
 
So now would be a great time for a new coach to have come in, gotten a recruiting boost, and put some gap between the downward teams.
 
Timmy D assistant coach for the Spurs. Let's replace one boring tall dude with a better boring tall Deac!

no way sample size honestly has anything to do with this

we moved Dino out when n=3
Staak, n=4
Bz, n=4
 
New AD and different financials have a strong impact.

Sample sizes of 4,5, or 6 years are not greatly different.

What indication do you have that new AD will have a strong impact? I believe Curry said that he could only hope to ever be half the AD that Wellman was.
 
Well each additional bad year that goes by makes it more difficult to sell anyone on “he just needs more time.”

And this is a different AD which moots other comparisons.

Because nobody is dumb enough to want to further a stupid decision when they can immediately curry favor for making a change (so long as they are able to do so within reasonable financial constraints)
