I don't think Wake can afford the coach we need.
I do think some folks are kinda being lazy though.Do you pay for Les's stuff? I wouldn't call him a lazy reporter. Or Conor for that matter.
They’re showing up on lazy reporters lists. Oh, Kelsey was an assistant at Wake 12 years ago? Put him on the list. Wake’s practice court is named after Wes Miller’s dad? He goes on the list too. Ryan Odom’s dad used to coach there? Definitely a candidate. None of the 3 have the credentials at this point for an ACC job. And they certainly aren’t ready for the rebuild that is needed.
Forbes is my choice. I think he’d be fantastic. I’d ask about Belein or Matt’s first, but doubt this is the kind of gig either of them are looking for.

I didn’t say those guys are lazy. They work their ass off for us.
But listing Kelsey, Miller, and Odom as the majority of the last as Goodman and several others have done is lazy. There’s no getting around that. It’s lazy if all you’re doing is identifying people with loose connections to Wake Forest, regardless of how qualified they are. Ryan Odom, c’mon? Great guy and fantastic win against UVA. But anyone putting him on a list of coaching candidates lacks credibility. I saw Scott Prosser on one list. Another good guy. Part of the family. Two (2!) years of experience at WCU and solid progress between years 1 and 2, but is he really a viable candidate or is he just some needed words to fill up a column?
I'm just asking if you pay for Les's stuff? Les reported a lot of these names. Is he lazy?

ugh please don’t ruin this thread with your drama.
My ultimate fall-back candidate would be Ritchie McKay -- he's actually only 55 years old. But there are plenty of other solid coaches out there even besides the names that have been talked about most: Niko Medved (Colorado St.), Ron Sanchez (UNCC), etc.
don’t think it will happen, but if beilein really wants to get back to coaching not sure he has many other options. and while i suspect we will be strapped for cash, might matter less to beilein given how much money he walked away from with the cavs.
A major question is do they want 3-6 year guy at a buttload of money or someone to be here for 10+ years.
Our team (if we can re-recruit Chaundee) is really well set-up for Beilein's style. But do we want just a turnaround guy or something long term?
OK, who is getting the flight schedules?
Please look at the ETSU roster. In five years, Forbes has actually recruited 2 impactful high school players. If Hatch is going to open the Ju-co and drop-out transfer lane, then he may be a fit. If not, he had no idea how to get a player that can survive at WFU. No doubt he is a good coach, but not all good coaches can have success at Wake IMHO....
