Without commenting either way on whether we should fire Manning, the argument that we can't fire him because it will just result in more losing is quite possibly the worst that exists. Not only does it ignore the fact that, well, we're already losing, but there are numerous examples of good hires turning programs around in far less time than [name redacted] and Manning have been given to attempt it. The 2018 class is good, but it's replaceable. It only stands out because the previous 8 years have been so bad...but in the grand scheme, it's the type of class that Wake has and should be recruiting. Any good coach will be able to bring in that kind of class. There's nothing to support the argument that losing the 2018 class after next year would doom our program to 4-6 more years of losing.
We are in the mess because Wellman has hired 3 incapable coaches in a row.
