Yes, Nantz just mentioned Gardner-Webb beat us on the road this year and we're bringing back the coach who led us to that defeat.
This is confusing. I'm not prognosticating on what level of bad we are going to be. I'm just pointing out that Danny has been loathed by frustrated fans before. Bzd not so much. That's it. I still think he's a bad head coach too.
I get all the frustration. I happen to think as fans we did everything right this past year and it blew up in our face. I do think billboard type bullshit or picketing Manning's yard are the wrong way to go, but I get I understand the frustration.
For the record, I have never been a Manning "fan" (the way I was when Bzd was hired), I simply thought there was a right way and wrong way to fire and replace him. I don't think me repeatedly posting that is going to persuade anyone so I am going to remove myself from this "debate."
I don't think this is quite done though. I think it is worth noting that NOWHERE in any official statement do we have a quote from Currie. Maybe it exists, but I haven't seen any written or recorded words of support of Danny from Currie. This is Wellman's show and I am holding out hope that something remarkably different happens after May 1st and after NBA coaches (and possibly asst coaches) are done for the year either end of season or end of playoff run.
What did he say?
Is too much to ask that Manning at least bring in new assistants?
Not all of the donors are on board with this decision.
But Ron doesn’t give a damn. He’s a FIGJAM.
Dino never received this kind of support from Wellman. He won and was fired because Wellman didn’t like the way he won, the players he won with. And because Dino knew the type of player he needed to stay at the top of the ACC, Ron sat him down and fired him, completely blindsiding a man with a 61-31 record. Ron didn’t like Dino.
There was no scandal, no coed or cheerleader, no drugs, or NCAA violations. Ron simply did not like Dino.
And Ron, being a classic narcissist and micromanager, destroyed a program because a capable coach stood up to him and pleaded his case for his team, for the guys he wanted to bring to Wake Forest. Dino wasn’t a yes man and Ron loves a yes man.
Ron has been allowed to make poor decisions that have mired this program in 9 years of suck and misery, so everyone from Hatch to the BOT is responsible. But they don’t care because “once we start winning, the fans will come back”.
How condescending is that? Fuck you, Ron Wellman. This is one fan who won’t be back.

Ah, I see it's been posted in another thread. Thanks.Not an exact quote but essentially:
“Social media has its positives and negatives. Negative being people crawling out from under their rocks (or likely their moms basement) to question decision makers and claim they know better. #crawlbackin”
Something very close to that

So, Ben, we should all just keep our mouths shut and enjoy the screwing?
Welcome to 2019
We will not be a bubble team next year. We have one ball-handler (PG) on this team and he likes to shoot. If you can’t move the ball around you are dead in the water.
Coredeac is spot on! It's not just athletics at Wake being run by a select few. I'm starting to feel that way about MSD as a whole, including the academic side. I'm reminded here of Reagan's quote about why he left the democratic party..........I didn't leave Wake Forest, it left me. And I hate feeling like this, but I do.
You are forgetting the part where Wellman then had a bike accident.This is interesting. Skip dies suddenly. Ron is given the opportunity to either find a new coach (bad time of the year to do it) or make Dino interim. But Ron hires him. In part he was hired to keep our top recruiting class together, which were, apparently, not the type of players Ron wanted at Wake. I guess it's possible that Ron has no idea that he didn't really like Dino at that point or realized that our recruits were not the type we wanted, but if we are going to lump 'Skip's recruits' into the mix, then I call BS on this as Ron was given the perfect opportunity to 'fix' Wake hoops and no one would have said boo.
