Losing is a disease.
Don't look now, but in ESPN's just released 'very early' 2013-14 preseason top 25, Colorado sneaks in at #16.

dan's getting more transparent by the day. pretty clear he felt the guy who should have been gone was rusty and not walt.
Buzz is one thing; but I have trouble believing that Wellman will be able to make Jim Grobe his bitch.
Chill still has the same chance of being kept after next year as he did as DPD. He is in a unique position that you weren't. He's a legend at the school and he has a lot of pro experience around the world.
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.
First bold is exactly right. Here is your problem. When we fire Bz we need to clean house...including Childress. His next job will not be at a school where he was a legend. He should know that. We will give him all sorts of lenience. Fans aren't going to berate Childress no matter how much they Bz. But they aren't going to sit on their hands either. Childress will be gone when Bz is gone, and his next job won't be near as cushy. At the very best Childress could hope to go back into administration at Wake in which case he is out of the coaching ranks again and now has a failure as his only experience. He should have left and gone to another program (just like Rusty tried to do) and get some experience outside of Wake Forest.
This all makes sense, unfortunately our AD does not have a recent history of acting logically.
Only in the bizarro world of Buzzin would a 9 win improvement after a coaching change, or a top 25 pre-season ranking 4 seasons later, be cited as a success for the former coach.
I can't believe that people could be Wake fans, witness what happened to State under Sidney Lowe, and want to fast track a legend without any college head coaching experience to head coach.
Whatever happened to working your way up the ladder?
I've dreamed about Childress being head coach, too, but after dreaming about Childress taking a mid-major to the tournament.
