30th anniversary of Danny and the Miracles. Is this the only coverage he's gotten?
Were we listed as a bad loss for FSU or Syracuse on the selection special?

Manning to be a part of the Final Four pregame coverage from 3-4pm on Saturday.
Good exposure, regardless of your opinion of him.
Yeah and he gets all the Papa John's his family can eat!
Ok for kids to leave any school to make a lot of money, not ok for Mack to leave X to do the same? Seems illogical. Same or close money maybe, but otherwise a no brainer.
I bet he is there to provide the Kansas connection. I doubt he will be selling anything Wake Forest related.
But for how much longer ?

Thought of another coach that struggled for a few years before enjoying sustained success.
Mick Cronin @ Cincy
Fully realize he hangs his hat on defense and Manning hangs his hat on baffling substitution patterns, but it's still an example.
Cronin's first 5 years at Cincy (starting in '06-'07):
11-19 (2-14); 141 KP
13-19 (8-10); 102
18-14 (8-10); 86
19-16 (7-11); 68
26-9 (11-7); 21
No losing seasons in conference (Big East & AAC) since then, has made the NCAAs every year, and worst KP was 43.
***I am not comparing Cronin to Manning... I just remember that there were posters looking for examples of coaches that struggled early, but then found their footing.

He will be in the first hour (3-4 PM eastern) according to the Wake web site. Good publicity for Wake, even if much of his appearance is focused on the 30 year old Kansas story. Danny will be still mentioned as being the Wake Head Coach. This is the intangible that Danny brings that few other coaches can match,
A coach 30 miles down the road can match his one NCAA championship as a player and one NCAA appearance as a coach.
Danny needs to spend more time working on his bench coaching acumen and less time hamming it up on TV.
