Why don't you address the insulting double talk from Ron Wellman, instead of just saying "fuck it, what can I do?"
October 15, 2009 Ron Wellman said:
"We certainly talked about postseason and the importance of it and how that has evolved into the most important part of the season, and the regular season has been diminished somewhat over the last decade or so," Wellman said. "Dino has good thoughts about how we need to improve in that area, and obviously that has been a weakness the last couple of years.
"But it wasn't such a concern that I didn't want to go forward with the commitment to him because, again, overall I just feel he has done a superb job in a very difficult situation. And I see a very bright future for our program with him at the helm."
Then after the same season in which Ron Wellman said those words and Wake Forest went the furthest they did under Dino Gaudio's reign as the men's basketball coach here he said this...
On April 7, 2010 (not even a full 26 weeks later *one day short of that mark, in fact*) after Wake Forest reached the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament, after previously crashing out of the same tournament in the 1st round the previous season, and not even making it the season before that...
Ron Wellman had this to say about why he was letting Dino Gaudio go

During a hastily drawn news conference, athletic director Ron Wellman said "the basis for the decision was our late-season and postseason performances."
He continued:
"This was not a snap decision. It was not a snap judgment," said Wellman, who served on the NCAA Division I men's basketball committee this season and was in Indianapolis earlier this week for the Final Four.
"This was not a decision based upon a one-year performance," he added. "We can put up with a disappointment. We have disappointments all the time. But there is a pattern here that needed to be addressed, a 3-year pattern that needed to be addressed."
Ron Wellman then proceeds to hire somebody with this career late season and post season record:
2005/06 Air Force: Loss to 12-17 Wyoming in the First Round of the WAC Conference Tournament. Loss to Illinois in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament.
2006/07 Air Force: 3 losses to close the regular season to UNLV, TCU (11-15 at time of game, coming off 11 straight losses *I guess they were "due"), and BYU. Air Force then lost in the First Round of the WAC Conference Tournament AGAIN to Wyoming (16-14), and their end of the season was so bad to knock them out of a NCAA Tournament berth.
2007/08 Colorado: Lost 14 of the final 16 games of the season. Won a first round matchup in the Big XII tournament tho.
2008/09 Colorado: From the turn of the calender year into 2009 Colorado lost 17 of 19 games, including the final 12. Needless to say, they did not win a post season game.
2009/10 Colorado: From the turn of the calender year into 2010 Colorado lost 12 of 19 games, including a first round loss in the Big XII Tournament this year.
So I wonder how the decision to let Gaudio go because of "the basis for the decision was our late-season and postseason performances", led to the hiring of Jeff [Redacted] when he produced such results.
Maybe, just maybe, Ron Wellman has been attempting to spoon feed up complete bullshit?
