Appetite is BuzzIn? Not wait-and-see?
Say Buzz were to get fired at the end of this season. How much would the state of the program affect any potential hires? Would it prevent us from getting any up and coming or big name coaches?
I ask with absolute sincerity as a somewhat new college basketball fan(2006)
Pre-season
Approve: 21%
Disapprove: 36%
Not sure: 44%
I think that if Wellman fires Buzz, it'll reflect poorly on Wake. If Wellman himself is fired, I'm not so sure. I don't know how firing Wellman would affect WF's standing with the pool of potential ADs. We're in a bad spot. IMO, the best case for Buzz Outers is Buzz resigning to take an NBA job.
I'm Wait and See leaning towards BuzzOut. I acknowledge that we suck but we have cohesion during most games and when the passes are decent, run a pretty good series of offensive sets. Some of that has to be due to coaching. I'd like to see what he can do with a full team before passing complete judgement. Next year is judgement year as far as I'm concerned. If the ACC is still this weak, we'd better be in the top third
Out of 214 votes.
So, far, with 105 reporting, the poll currently looks like:
Approve: 6%
Disapprove: 61%
Not sure: 33%
The times, they are a changin'.
The chances of us being in the top 4 next year appear pretty slim to me. We have 2 ACC-level players right now, and are hoping to get 2-3 more who are ready to contribute as frosh. That doesn't sound like a recipe for top 4. Especially when 1 of the 3 new guys expected to contribute is not even in the top 100 players in the country.
Timing the poll directly after the Wofford game may have something to do with it? Still a bit surprised by the results, I feel a lot better about him now than I did at the end of last season.
I do think the lack of ACC ready talent is a bit overstated. TC and even Carson have looked really good in flashes this year. The problem is the depth; we can't effectively hide them when they go through their (long, in Carson's cases) stretches where they forget how to play basketball. I think just having a few more warm bodies will help next year. Hopefully that, in addition to some progression, could lead to a big step forward.The chances of us being in the top 4 next year appear pretty slim to me.

Yeah, an epically bad loss certainly weighs into the opinion of the job Bzz is doing...as do the many epically bad losses of the past.

Firing a successful coach reflected poorly on Wake. The AD proving he's a liar by:
1) Saying it was for post season failure and then hiring someone with no NCAA appearances reflected poorly on Wake,
2) Manufacturing a "culture" argument to try and cover his mistake reflected poorly on Wake,
3) Defending his failure with ridiculous post game rhetoric reflected poorly on Wake,
4) Publicizing inflated attendance numbers reflects poorly on Wake.
