This is what I mean when I say we don’t speak the same language. I’m very much interested in debating - it’s why we come on these boards - and I’m very open to your viewpoint. You think Manning deserves more time and he might do wondrous things. I respect that. Maybe I’m wrong and he will. Whereas you’ve simply stated those opinions are different from yours regarding Manning aren’t even valid. Not even debatable. So no, I don’t think you know what debate is. Been a strange phenomenon, having someone repeatedly - I mean, repeatedly - remind me I couldn’t have my opinion about Manning, in the face of clear concerns. It’s an opinion, a speculation. Yep, I’ll keep having it. It’s valid. Many of us share it. You can keep disagreeing with it. Totally cool. But the “you can’t even hold this opinion” is what has perpetually amused me. Yes, I can. I will. Everything will be alright.
Go Deacs! Big win tonight! UNCG! Four guard lineups FTW!

There, that’s debate. That is like a breath of fresh air. Well done.Sound is the word you are looking for, and of course I don’t think your argument is sound or I’d agree with it. You can hold whatever opinion you want but that opinion is either correct or not, well founded or not. Time will tell whether your position is correct, I’m confident it is not well founded.
Not even kidding, when I read DeacDaddy posts it's Bob Ross's voice I hear. We all have happy little opinions and they're all equally beautiful.
be ranked every now and then and make the semifinals of the ACC tournament.

On to March 2019.
Last year became a lot of fun watching us get better and JC making everyone around him better. Still our inability to finish games like Duke likely cost us a real tournament invitation. Season ended with folks excited and then JC leaves which DM should have known in Jan. Dino leaves which shocked us all. So here we are in year 4 with pro and anti DM opinions being expressed which is what a message board is for.
There are two areas to look at...one very close to factual and the other based on Wake BB over last 7 years, DM in year 4 and our first 6 games.
First area that most should agree as fact:
Unlike Bizz our students and fans really like DM and want him to stay here and win championships
DM is an active part of the school and supports all our teams
DM is not going to be fired during the season or after the season
DM will absolutely get one more year no matter what happens this year
DM in year 4 does not have Wake at a place where we are competing for any type of championship
Things that are currently being debated and inspiring spirited debate:
DM has us on the right track and in year 5 we start competing for championships - my opinion is that won’t happen...conf is too strong and we’re too far behind
Some say that even though the year has started 2-4 against not one team of any note Danny will coach them up and postseason is still a possibility - my opinion is our postseason chances never existed this year and the first 6 games have validated the point
We discuss if Danny can or can’t coach - for me that’s a waste of breath because I just want Wake Forest to go to the postseason more years than not like we once did, be ranked every now and then and make the semifinals of the ACC tournament...even win one in the next 5 years. Please don’t argue about DM’s coaching over these last 6 scrimmages... let’s argue about how great a coach he is when we come back to beat UNC after being down 10 late or how he coached poorly when we were up 6 on VA and lost. 2-6 right now goes beyond bad coaching given who we’ve played. 2-6 sucks the life out of the program and makes for a lot of empty seats.
RC defends DM well and maybe next year the magic returns, we’re ranked and make the dance with ease...it’s possible.
For this year I believe we’re done and will have nights where the top half of the conference will bring the pain...the ACC is that good this year.
For anyone who believes we can turn this around...get to 9-9...be on the bubble, beat Duke or UNC you’re essentially asking that we follow up the 54 we shot on the front side with a smooth 3 under 33 on the back side.
Bottom line we all have opinions on this board...next year my hopes are high for DM and team...this year I’ll watch from a distance and just not be vested...much less stressful that way.
I’m honestly confused as to what you think has been happening on this thread the past few pages.
Not sure if these are connected but we've made the semi's 13 times in 43 years.
In the last 43 yearss
Tacy 5 semi's
Stack 1 semi
Odom 4 semi's
Prosser 3 semi's
Gaudi 0
Bzzz 0
Manning 0
And 3 of those were with Duncan on the team. We've never been a good ACCT team.
Wait to talk to your brother- in- law until Saturday afternoon after the football game. :thumbsup:
Do you think he'd take a job to coach against his dad's team when he can get the same or bigger money with a P5 team? I don't.
Tonight is the dreaded father/son battle.
