Trump ran and enough people in the right places voted for him.
Come up with a comparable reason why Manning is still our coach.
Which is why many of us wanted a new coach back in March 2018. What's happened in this last 7 months was the most obvious outcome. We can't act surprised that recruits don't want come here. We can't act surprised players have transferred. We shouldn't act surprised when players transfer or leave early after the season.
My POV has been that he gets somewhat of pass on last season being a disaster... I think March 2018 was too early, but I get it. Prepared to move on if things suck this year. Maybe there will be better candidates available than this last offseason.
I thought that it was a #newbeginning
Manning needs at least five more years, imo
What a bullshit statement.
Because you don't fire him a few weeks before the start of the season??? Because then nobody in their right mind would ever take the job???
You have to get over yourself but also you have to let go of this year. He's the coach this year and if he is gone at year's end with Hoard following him by entering his name in the draft, you need to hope that Sarr and Mucius and Wynn and Lewis and Wright are ACC level players.
I just find it an incredibly stupid argument today. Start it back up in April dude. That equals logic. What your doing equals hot air and stupidity. And btw, a waste of that hot air and your time.

Lol, such cherry-picked examples to try to draw an argument. Never change.What exactly changes from the last 7 months if we hire a new coach last March? Let’s give Wellman the benefit of the doubt and assume he reels in a Brad Brownell or Jim Christian. What does our roster look like this year? Recruiting class?
Genuinely curious.

Brad Brownell was on the hot seat before last season. Why would we want a guy who has had one good year this decade?

It's an actual #newbeginning. Recruiting tends to be stronger during this honeymoon period when a coach is recruiting on hope, not results.
Eh. That kind of feels like the direction Wellman will lean in and that’s probably the ceiling of the type of guy he can bring in.
So of the 5 guys that left with eligibility remaining, who stays? Do we lose anyone that is currently on the roster? What does our class look like at this point? Did we land Harris? Moore?
We did not have a bad basketball program in March 2017. We were fresh off an NCAAT appearance, were returning almost our entire team, the core being juniors and seniors, had a top 35 recruit coming in, and were in the driver’s seat for a 5* recruit in the 2018 class.
The program was in a tenuous position for sure, but it was not bad by any measure (it wasn’t great or even very good by any measure either, but apparently that’s not the question).
Moving forward from March 2017, both of the following are true:
1. Had John Collins and Dinos Mitoglou, or just John Collins (or maybe even just Dinos), stayed for last season we would not have a bad basketball program.
2. Manning’s failings as a coach resulted in us reverting to being a bad basketball program.
You brought up Trump. Start that back up in November 2020.
I can talk about what a moronic decision it was to keep Manning 7 months ago.
Would some of the 7 players that left have stayed if they felt there would be a competent coach at the helm?
