I will add we didn't have top 10 classes when Skip was here. We lost. Skip finished 12th and 11th (of 12) in the league his last two years. I love Skip as much as anyone but it is delusional to call Skip Prosser's time at Wake a success. Skip's famous quote was "we will be good again" for a reason.
Finally, I give hardly any money to Wake Forest sports. Where are you getting that? I gave more money to 5 schools this year than I did Wake Forest. I agree with your point--not fair for me to be calling for people's heads and still be paying their salaries.
Skip did have a flaw in his inability to teach defense. The entire Paul/Connley situation cost us 2 years. Many would say that the Skip would have done more with the Dino teams, which he recruited most of those players.

Odom's above 500 season ration was 6-6, Skips alone was 4-2, with Dino's time 6-3. Odom had a losing season with RR on the team, how do you really do that?
Odom is known for 'the end is not the Trophy' and 'it will be good to have the name of the state in the schools name'.
Skip sold the benefits of Wake and didn't mope around about the challenges a great academic institution provided. He completely energized the fan base.
