The weird thing is that he's getting the recruits though. Just not having success with them for some reason.

Shaka is still popular with recruits, and he likely will have a nice honeymoon recruiting period at Wake, but there are warning signs from Texas that his teams struggle offensively and his HAVOC defense was what created all his success at VCU.
 
I love the poetic justice of Danny Manning, a Greensboro native, possibly coaching his last game in Greensboro. Make it happen, Currie.
 
Shaka’s recruiting success at UT alone makes him sufficiently intriguing to me, at least compared the kind of candidates we would/could otherwise reasonably target. I’d much rather take a chance on him, who we’ve all seem have success at the highest level in addition to a decent familiarity with the region (both at VCU and as an assistant at Clemson), rather than a Wes Miller or a Ryan Odom.

Also I think the reference to Anthony Grant’s success at Dayton wasn’t as a potential candidate but to point out that sometimes, good coaches are capable of having bad runs, especially at football schools where basketball is secondary.

Exactly the way I interpreted ChrisL’s post as well.
 
Can we start betting on when he will be fired. I say press conference the Monday after the ACC tourney. Sometime around 4pm.:thumbsup:

Manning should be given at least next year...this team has competed this year. Has played very hard. Im sure Manning is doing the best he can.

Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) is a troublesome perennial grass weed that reduces yields in corn, grain sorghum, soybean, cotton and leguminous forages. Originally introduced into the United States as a forage crop, it is now an agricultural pest in most states south of the 42nd parallel.
 
I agree. Manning is doing the best he can. 5 seasons w/ 19+ losses.

Johnson Grass is also slang for Dick Weed
 
I was SURE he was gone last year and was devastated when that didn’t happen. I no longer have faith Wake will do what’s right.

Sutton wants him gone; No idea about Shah. They’re more important than Currie at this point, as they will be the one’s coughing up the coin.
 
What has Sutton said?
 
Likely NCAAT or bust.

So, if Danny wins 5 straight tourney games to garner the ACCT Champ automatic bid, he gets to keep his job.
