Danny Manning replacement search thread

If Beilein is gone from the Cavs and we don't do everything in our power, short of renaming the University after him, to get him to come to Winston-Salem, then we truly don't care about basketball.
 
I don’t really see the Beilein appeal for either party. If I’m him why not just call it a day? The guy is a zillion years old and has certainly made plenty of money. No need to take on what’s sure to be an enormous rebuild. For Wake, we need someone who potentially has some staying power over the long term and can generate some excitement around the program. Just doesn’t seem like a good match.

That "Dr." thingy could be a deal breaker.

Not for seniors. We can get $0 co-pay, $0 Deductible with BC/BS and have a cap of something like $899 for chemo and other extreme treatments.

Get some fake ID for you and your kids.

He will get a substantial buyout from the Cavs for the remainder of his four more years there.

Looking at our returning players, they do fit his run and gun style. But like you said, he may not have any interest in going back to the college recruiting grind.

I'm good with Beilein University of Wake Forest in Winston-Salem if he wins a natty.

So the Cavs signed him to a five-year contract and want him gone eight months in? Sounds like coaching contracts are universally stupid.

They basically are these days. Teams/schools are too weak here. If Coach X has to be paid most or all of the remaining contract if he's fired, there's no reason the coach shouldn't have to pay most or all of the difference between his pay and the cost of the coach plus any costs for search and lost revenue his leaving creates. Of course the sides would be able to negotiate, but this is a place to start.

A concept like that would end a lot of this BS.

Back when baseball free agency started, Charlie Finley was called crazy for having the best idea about contracts anyone has had since then. He said there should be a rule that no free agent contracts should be more than three years and players would get to free agency sooner. This makes a lot of sense.

If three years is the most anyone can get, then there will be more players available and prices will be kept lower. However, players who improve can get more money sooner. It definitely hurts older players who want one last contract at 32 or older, but they could make more earlier.
 
This thread is why I keep coming back to these boards.

The Head of HR at Wake is my sister-in-law’s sister-in-law. I have some interesting info on the health insurance discussion as pertains to the higher-echelon university hiring policy. PM for details
 
Mike Gansey is employed by the Cavs, IIRC. What if Beilein brings him along for argument's sake? I'd chip in to see him pummeled in the groin by Chris Paul's kids.

Is that why you are on the Wake payroll? :)
 
Let's look at the history:

To replace Odom, the Top 2 on my list were Majerus (whom I posted wouldn't take job and Skip (FIRST and ONLY person to mention him)
To replace Dinos my list was ONE person - Stevens (and he was young). Wellman FUCKED that up.
To replace redacted, again my list was ONE person SHAKA and Hatch FUCKED him.

There is ONE outstanding pick this time.

1. SHAKA
2. SHAKA
3. SHAKA
4. SHAKA
5. MATTA (if healthy)

Longshits would include Marshalls, Donoan and Bielien.

Shaka is NOW 100% there for our taking at bigly dicount. $5.5M/y gets it done. It's ALL on CURRY not to FUCK us. SHAKA!SHAKA!SHAKA!
