More likely just someone who views the problem as overall talent and not coaching, which was kind of what a lot of people here thought for a while. He's still in the "if we only got Giles" phase. We're still mentioned in the fight for a lot of higher end recruits, at least it seems that way. The problem is said talent will absolutely leave early......and Manning has not shown the ability to build the supporting cast, they leave too. There's literally nothing at Wake to build on except fresh or sophs year in and year out. You don't even have to rationalize why people leave, they just do...consistently.
On a side note, twice I had someone at work come up to me saying they heard about some big problem. I said, Oh, so you heard Wake extended Manning with a 18m guaranteed contract...and we're on the hook until 2024. Not that bad! LOL.
