I like Steve Forbes a lot and I believe he has the potential to be good coach for Wake. But his first two years do not prove that, and I question giving him a big extension (and presumably a big raise) based on this season. This year we were basically a slightly above-average team in a very...

And why not Gregg Marshall? Ron Wellman's gone, remember.

Currie's quote is absolutely, utterly meaningless.

I am not a big fan of so-called "national searches" but that's why you pay a big fee to a search firm. What a search firm should deliver is the next Tony Bennett, who was a hidden jewel coaching out of the media spotlight in a far corner of the Pacific Northwest (and with no ties to the ACC or...

100% this.

Check out the W-S Journal article by Conor O'Neil just posted. According to his interview with Currie, only Clawson and Currie took the 10% pay cut. "All" coaches took "some" pay cut, but this interview is clearly at odds with the claim in the earlier Wake AD's tweet that "all" coaches had...

No and that applies all the way back to its predecessor boards like Rancho de Nada. But like a lot of others I come here multiple times per day in March for one reason and one reason only, to see if our current incompetent basketball coach has been fired. And that's the state of Wake...

If Danny Manning has a shred of integrity he will resign without asking for another penny from Wake Forest. I am not kidding. He was hired to do a job and he failed utterly. Mark Richt had the decency to resign as Miami football coach because he failed to get it done. Manning does not...

Good article but one major fail. No effort (at least not noted) to interview Ron Wellman. Wellman was the destroyer of Wake Forest basketball with a series of disastrous coaching hires and, of course, the most stupid contract extension in college athletic history. The writer should have...

Did they find a buyer for the Joel?

Since your source is a trustee, please ask him/her why in the hell the Board ever approved the Manning extension, which was self-evidently ludicrous at the time, and follow up by asking what accountability has the board imposed on Nathan Hatch and/or others for this fiasco of monumental...

FAUDA on Netflix is also great. Israeli production, like watching a documentary but it's fictional.

GIRI / HAJI (Duty/Shame) on Netflix is fabulous! Joint BBC/Japanese production. Best TV production I have seen since the immortal and incomparable Breaking Bad.

No Currie does not have the power. Wellman gave Manning a contract extension that the university cannot afford to buy out. And Hatch and the BOT approved it.

Manning will not be fired simply because the university cannot afford the contract buyout Wellman gave him. Worst contractual move in college athletic history. But never forget that Nathan Hatch and the BOT were ultimately responsible for approving Wellman's idiotic contract extension.
