With the hiring of a new basketball coach, at long last, could we possibly have a moratorium on negative rants against Wellman or Bz or anyone else?
As strongly as the sentiment is against our AD the objective reality is that he has faced two of the largest tasks any AD is called upon to perform and they have come within months of each other: hiring a new football coach and then a new basketball coach. And he has lead the NCAA selection committee while searching for a new bb coach. Yeah, he is paid well; but pressure is pressure and he has faced enormous pressure. Can we just agree on that and leave off the criticism for a bit?
Hopefully, we will all support Coach Manning and give him the opportunity to coach from a position of strength in terms of fan support. I doubt that he was anyone's first choice going into this process; but it is possible all things considered that he was the best that we could have hired in the present situation. At any rate, he is a highly respected basketball personality and a winner! THERE IS HOPE! There is new hope for both football and basketball! Let's try to enjoy that for a while.
Just an idea!
