Please discuss and organize here. Willing Alumni need to organize and fund a campaign if Danny is not fired by the end of the Myrtle Beach tournament.
It's not Danny's fault that he is the head coach at wake forest. It's a waste of time to try to get him fired.

No. It's not. The fact that Manning needs to go does not mean that Wellman doesn't also need to go.
If bots had been a thing during the [Redacted] years, all of those insane stats from the billboard campaign would have made for a hell of a bot campaign.Buying a bot army to post about how much Wake basketball sucks, Fire manning, fire wellman is not the worst idea especially for exposure, annoyance, cost ratio.

Netflix, you've got to follow your handle and chill. CSF isn't a great team, but they are ranked #150 in kenpom, went to the NCAA tournament last year, and they return all 5 of the starters. Beating them is not a terrible win, by any means.
But more importantly, there are several reasons why another "fire X campaign" is a bad idea. 1) It may make Wellman even less likely to make the right move at the end of the year - many people in his type of position don't like being told what to do by the fans. 2) It looks bad for the school and fan base, which can make hiring the next coach/AD even more challenging. We saw how that worked with the transition from [Redacted], compared to the transition from Grobe. The key with the next hire is to get a great coach, and a "fire X" campaign makes that even more difficult. There are many NCAA coaches and announcers, that when asked about the last campaign, would say it reflected poorly on Wake and hindered our ability to hire a great coach. We don't need that again. 3) Just look at how it worked last time. Wellman is still the AD and we were not able to make a stellar coaching hire. If you want to repeat that, go for it, but it sure seems like a bad idea.

That's why we need a Fire Ron Wellman campaign. Fuck that fucker!
That's what the last campaign was. #FireWellman and fireronwellman.com were both on the billboard. It didn't work last time. The problem with that approach, in my opinion, is that Wellman is clearly the most successful AD we have ever had, and it's not even close. He has screwed up basketball, but many other aspects of the AD are going really well.
I will say, that if you wanted to start a campaign, the way to do so would be privately, not publicly. Emails, letters, raise money that will be donated once change occurs, etc. I think that would be much more effective and wouldn't reflect poorly on the school.
[Added] Netflix, we made our posts at the same time. As you can tell, I agree regarding the private campaign.
