Official Hoops Coaching Search Thread - Welcome Danny Manning!!!

When did Arlington become such a donk?

Reading some of these posts, it's just amazing. The level of spoon banging is through the roof. Seriously. FULL RETARD.

And make no mistake, I blame Wellman for this epidemic of good Wake fans having lost their goddamn minds. I wish he'd been fired along with the failure captain. He did this to you. It's not your fault. *hug* It's not your fault.

Wake can compete for titles. Wake WILL compete for titles, with Manning, or the next guy, or some guy after that. The irony is, it's the "another bad coach will destroy us forever!!!!!!!" crowd that are LOWF. It implies that our future solely relies on any one particular coaching hire. How much more LOWF can you get? Personally I think Wake is a much stronger program than that. We'll be fine.

Manning seems like a very solid ACC coaching candidate with a large potential for top-end success, IMO. I can see him assembling good, NBA-prospect-laden teams. I can see him winning like Skip did here. This doesn't make me some kind of defeatist. What's insane is how committed to not seeing Manning's upside some posters are, mainly because they hate Wellman and wanted Shaka. They just say this is terrible, and call it fact. I hope to God those people can get a grip, take a breath, and support our new coach when it's finalized. Otherwise, honestly, fuck em. #ManUp #SeriouslyManTheFuckUp
 
The next year of RJ telling us we didn't offer Smart enough will be amusing.

Even more amusing will be hoopla claiming his "storm is brewing" stuff was a reference to stealing Tulsa's coach.

And I really can't wait for the culture warriors blaming the fans for the outcome of this search.
 
If Wellman ever gets fired, or when he retires, really should consider a career with the CIA/NSA. The lock-down on information is incredible.

If it is done, give him a chance. I think Danny Manning will surprise a bunch of people on here.

Who are all of these lurkers making the same tired "give him a chance, he might surprise you" arguments that were made 4 years ago?
 
Can I think that Wellman fucked this up royally (wife-blaming is the best our AD can do? STFU, you didn't get it done when it mattered most, end of story) and still believe that Manning could do very well here?

Yeah I was thinking about the bolded part today on the way to work and came to a similar conclusion in that regard.

Uh, no. LOWF is claiming that WF can't compete for titles because it's WF.

Claiming that we can't compete for titles because the university administration, athletic department, donors, and coaches are inept is not LOWF. That's just the truth. Better management = athletic success. Bringing in Danny Manning is not going to counteract the path we've been put on.

Right but I think Arlington is saying that it is LOWF to say "we HAVE to land THE big coach to succeed."

I'm not sure anyone crushed the Bzz hire more than me on the Scout board. Older posters will remember. Several sunshine posters actually tried to get me kicked out of premium. This is not the same thing, hiring Manning, and if you can't see that, I honestly don't know what to say.
