I'm going to throw out a crazy idea here - Bz should hire Sheila Kelly.
I would be completed embarrassed as a Wake alum and fan if we went to the Final 4 and then ended up vacating the wins or on probation.
He would have been just as gone as Director of Player Development. At least he gets to say he was an AC this year.
I don't get that either. The 98%ers are getting their panties up in a wad over Rusty and Chill being "manipulated" by Wellman and Bz into being "human shields" for the program. If that is what is going on and Rusty and Chill are that stupid, then why would the 98%ers want them as coaches and thus care about this?? Same with Battle. They created the "dumpster fire" too.Why would anyone care if any coach on the current staff were fired? The whole staff is a giant bag of fail at the moment. Nobody is a scapegoat - they are all well-deserving.

There is a massive difference between Childress' made up role (what he served last year) and being an official D1 assistant. Most high major staffs have multiple made up roles (these positions are growing on trees lately). To be made an assistant means you are part of the core team. Childress could have absolutely survived a cleaning as the DPD (or whatever other made up title they might give him). And here is the reality of what him choosing to accept this decision does. When I was in my second year of coaching our school moved up from D2 to D1. Along with it came a lot of turnover with our staff. I had the opportunity to move to another school as an assistant or continue on where I was. When spoke to other coach who was interested in hiring me he told me the following words "I would love for you to come, but understand that we are on the razor's edge down here. We might not be here for the long haul". When you become a part of the AC staff you are tying yourself to the head coach. I was fortunate enough to have a coach that would level with me. Turns out he was fired after that year, and went on to take an AC job at an ACC school the following year, but his staff was sent scrambling for jobs.
Childress was not tied to Bz before now. He wasn't hired by Bz, and he could survive the firing of Bz. By accepting the AC spot he is a part of Bz's coaching tree, for better or for worse. In my opinion it will not be a benefit to him.
I would too. So feel free to name some of the NCAA violations we were committing under Prosser/Dino.

In a side note, according to the old board Battle was in the mix for Associate Head Coach at Butler after Graves moved to UAB. He could have been the guy who helped Stevens recruit a level of players Butler isn't used to getting now that they are in a high major conference.
More AD propaganda? Have the insideres over here heard the same or was this something fed to Deman?

Rusty was hired under Dino so it makes very little sense he got his job to be a human Bz shield doesn't it? IMO Chill probably got promoted because of his proven abilities with individual players. Just be glad he's around so that when they improve, you'll have someone to give credit to other than Bz.I DON'T want Rusty or Chill as coaches. I think they are unproven and only have their positions on the bench of an ACC program because of Wellman's desire to shield himself. Until they are proven, very little positive can come from their hiring because there's a good chance they'll have to be fired.
Bz is being held to Wellman's standards and Wellman is being held to the BOT/big donor standards...with some slack for previous achievment apparently. Who is not being held to a set of standards? They might not be your standards, but they are being held to standards of some sort.I care. I think it's ludicrous for anyone to be fired for performance reasons when the guy responsible for it all is not held to any standards whatsoever.
