Manning Buyout Negotiations Have Begun

I’ll leave it at this. I still have my contacts. In the past, I’ve noticed that I’ve heard certain things regarding these types of updates leaked on the boards by 2-3 posters beforehand. I’ve gotten the same info around the same time (either just before or immediately after).

Now, I’ve looked through all of the pages on this thread and haven’t heard a peep from any of these individuals. So, I’m going to take that as the same info that I have. There has been no final decision yet as to whether we will part ways or not, and if we had begun these talks, that decision would definitely have already been made.

This still stands. I have been told "expect to hear something Thursday, one way or the other."

So funny if true: even those in the WF athletic department acknowledge that WF is incapable of advancing in the ACCT.

If Currie was the AD we want, Manning would have been gone last summer. If money was the problem then, if he was the AD we wanted, he would have successfully lobbied the BOT for less than 1% of its $1 billion of free money to get it fixed. But he is not, and he didn't, because he is a hapless stooge. There is literally zero evidence to indicate that he will handle this remotely correctly in any way, and yet there is 10 constant years of evidence to indicate that it will get fucked up.

Idiots referencing Wake's endowment as a source of funds for the buyout is one of my favorite (least favorite) board memes...

That happened for me last year.

The thing that always attracted me to Wake was that because it was a smaller school, it had to be smarter and try harder. That was Wake for a long time. It made the failures more tolerable and the victories sweeter.

At some point Wake stopped trying harder and became dumber than the competition. Just really hard to find anything compelling about what Wake has become and really hard to actually care.

A lot needs to change for Wake to regain what made it special. Hope Currie understands that.

Good post. MSD is content to cash ACC checks and build facilities.

Sure. But having just tapped those sources for a range of long term projects, MSD should be able to go back to the well for something specific with an obvious ROI.

While true on paper, money is fungible. Having that money available for academics frees up some money from somewhere that could be used to fix Wake's loser image.
 
Sorry Mebanedeac, I wish people could be a little more respectful even if they disagree with your requests. I come on here to get info and most of the time it’s just smartass answers and people looking to be the first to jump on someone. And I know I choose to view this forum and probably shouldn’t

welcome to the internet
 
I guess that it's a fair assumption that most Wake grads posting on here are WASPs, but this is the most WASP shit ever.
 
Well to make it more diverse If Danny is rehired we could try to reserve some time for the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem
 
Didn't they move the Wailing Wall to Arizona next to London Bridge?
 
Just hard to believe that the Wake Forest office of legal council has fallen so far in the last 15 years that it would OK a contract that had the alleged buyout and language that said that the only job DM had to perform to get paid was head basketball coach. Just really hard to believe that such a contract would be given approval. If it is so, then Clawson needs to. hire DM's agent. He has actually done something that would warrant a sweet heart deal

After the last ten years, if we give our losingest coach ever another year because of a buyout then we do not care about basketball success. Just shut the door and call ourselves DePaul. I have to believe they make a move almost immediately after the ACC Tournament. If not, forget it.

The college landscape changed years ago. Wake did not change with it. We left a moron like Wellman in charge for over 25 years. We’re already DePaul. May as well get used to it.
