I still just can't believe how this search is being conducted. It's like Wellman and Hatch gave Manning and family a free trip to W-S to try to sell them a fucking timeshare.
This is reality. Wake's job is not as good as many thought it was. Top 40? Sure. But let's not act like this was a top 15 job.

A top 40 job (with a competent Ath Dir) should get at least one coach from the following schools to say yes:
Dayton
Virginia Commonwealth
Louisiana Tech
Harvard
Wichita State
It's a tough one, but leaning toward no. A more detailed post of the connection being drawn could confirm one way or another. Regardless, the Scout board is more powderpuff and buffoonish than it is LOWF.

This has to be a done deal, right? Why would we be opening ourselves up to such embarrassment if he declines?
I'm not sure. That's why I said "maybe we did put feelers out". I just sincerely doubt it because of who our AD is. Everything about Wake Forest screams safe. All of our hires are "good guys", "great values", etc...I'm not disagreeing that those are extremely important factors, but we've never hired anyone that has a chip on their shoulder. That tells it like it is. Marshall probably would have said no, maybe Howland too. Does anyone truly think we actually tried though? I think Marshall's "brink truck" and Howland's SI piece ended any chance. I just think RW is a puss. I think our elitist culture bit is what we say to people about why we can't compete for championships.

If we got turned down by Miller or especially White...wtf does that say about how the Wake job is viewed in coaching circles.
That there will be a new AD in a few years with no loyalty to the previous AD's coaches. Another reason why Wellman should be gone

Wake player Daniel Green and potential Wake HC Danny Manning look a lot alike.
