Dear Bz,
I am apologizing to you on behalf of Ron Wellman, because he is too small to do it himself. Wellman surprised many people when he fired Dino Gaudio after a fairly successful season and multiple years left on his contract that cut into the money we had to spend on a new coach. Wellman then couldn't land any reasonably desirable candidates that were an upgrade over Gaudio, so he fell back on you. Most everyone realized immediately that you were not going to be successful at Wake Forest and should never have been offered the job. I don't fault you for taking it. It was a great opportunity, just not one that you could realistically succeed at. Ron Wellman dug his own hole and then threw you into it with him. As if this weren't bad enough, Wellman's lies, revisionist history, and arrogance stoked the fires of discontent that were aimed at you as coach. Much of the bullshit you had to put up with for four years was fueled by your friend, Ron Wellman.
I don't feel sorry for you, as you made millions of dollars without really producing any results, and Wake Forest fell from national prominence to irrelevance during your time with us. But your friend Ron Wellman made things x100 worse for you by mocking a passionate fan base, and for that he owes you an apology.
I'm sorry,
