Has He Been Fired Yet?

Still here? Do year end reviews typically take multiple days?
 
DFL has so many shortcomings that it has taken days for Currie to address all of them in the year-end review. :dumb:

Monday??!
 
Nothing is going to happen until April which is when his new contract starts, and a guaranteed year drops off. It looks like Currie tried to end the misery earlier than that and Danny said NFW

What difference would that make? Still need to pay him the balance of the contract regardless.

If it's a guaranteed contract as reported, we simply owe him what is left. It's not like he gets paid in $3M increments once a year. You're thinking of a buyout.

If there is a lump sum payout due, the timing of the firing could impact the due date on that payment. Nobody on here knows the structure of the contract. Maybe some contract provisions are more favorable for Wake if DM is head coach on day 366 of his current contract. IDK.

However, with the current Coronavirus dead period for recruiting, campus visits etc., there is not nearly the loss that would happen in normal years.

Zero P6 coaches have been fired. There is still time for Wake to be first.

$3M?

What’s the difference between paying him his $3mil salary for 2020-21 and a $12mil buyout vs paying him a $15mil buyout right now?

None of us know the exact details of the contract but I can’t imagine there’s any way that the overall payout decreases over time. If waiting till April 1 decreases the buyout then it’s only because it means you paid him next year’s salary.

There were calculations posted showing that a new coach could more than pay for himself in higher game attendance, ticket sales etc. If delaying the firing until April moves significant costs down the road a year or more, I would try to do that. Especially this year when the coaching carousel is not moving much.

Hypothetical:

Fire him before he completes a year and all remaining contract amount due in 30 days.
Fire after completing year and remaining contract amount due in annual payments.

Same total dollars to Manning. Which is easier to do for Wake?

So, in your extremely unlikely hypothetical, Manning is just forcing Wake to keep him around for a few more days out of spite? He knows he's getting fired and going to end up with your hypothetical yearly payments, but rather than simply agree to those and sign an agreement now, he's just going to sit in his home in quarantine as a Wake employee for a few more days for fun?
 
Is there a rule limiting the size of a schools coaching staff? Donkey can keep coaching... standing on the sidelines and currie can hire matta (or whomever) as a consultant and let that staff get work on 2021. Slash danny's recruiting budget to zero. Maybe he does not even travel to away games.

NCAA limits size of staff.
 
You can terminate Manning effective April 1st and announce it today. If he is being a hardass about that, then the windowless basement office should be a reality.

all so he can get fired on April Fool's Day? that is undeniably DFL
 
Has anyone else noticed that Manning has been more active than usual on the Twitters lately?
 
So, Manning is still the coach is the answer to the thread title?
