Also known as: The Magical Donny Ross Crank Yankin' TourThe fightin’ Wes Millers have a good chance to take down Kansas tonight.
Might as well get the Wes to Wake hype machine going early this year.

Fair enough. I don't blame you.I fapped a little watching what a well-coached team look like. It’s been a dry decade...
Fair enough. I don't blame you.
Still don't think Wes should be our next coach. At least not yet.
Agreed, would I trade him for Manning? Absolutely but that doesn't mean I think he is the best coaching choice for our job, not yet at least
Yeah. Looks like the carousel is starting to have its tarp taken off and the axles greased up.Add Evansville to the list. Walter McCarty suspended for "unwelcome conduct".
And NC A&T State University also has an interim coach.

How many times has Wes failed to do what plenty of other teams have and beat Wake?
[Redacted] beat WF as an opposing coach.
That should NOT be a criteria
[Redacted] beat an awful Wake team. Why would we want a coach who can’t be historically bad Wake teams?
that 06-07 team was more mediocre than awful. They beat a ranked sweet 16 bound Vandy team a couple of games before the AF beatdown.
Tony Bennett lost to an 8 win WF team (worst ever) in 10/11 & again to a 13 win WF team in 13/14.
Tom Crean lost to an 11 win WF team in 15/16 with a sweet 16 bound team
Jim Boeheim lost to an 11 win WF team in 17/18 (also a sweet 16 team)
Leonard Hamilton also lost to that 11 win WF team in 17/18 (elite 8 team)
Mike Brey lost to another 11 win WF team in 18/19
Jim Larranaga lost to WF teams w/ 13, 13, & 11 wins.
point being a lot of good coaches (with much better teams than UNCG) have lost to bad WF teams. Sure most of the above have also beat bad WF teams. Miller is 0-4 vs bad WF teams with 2 of those losses were in his 1st couple of years with bad UNCG teams. The most recent 2 losses were by 3 & 6 points.
I don't really have a opinion on whether Miller would be a good hire, but it seems like his record vs bad WF teams is an insignificant criteria to make a decision.
well said. personally, miller isn’t my first or second choice but it’s awfully clear he is a solid coach and would be a legitimate hire (unlike someone like ryan odom)
Wes hasn't done what many other coaches at his level have done, and that is beat a really good team. Through motivation, scheme, emotion, or whatever, many coaches, including Ryan Odom, have gotten their team to beat a top 25 team. A Wes Miller led team won't likely have Stetson and Houston Baptist type losses. I don't see likely wins over top 25 teams based on his existing resume.
