Coach on the Hot Seat — Jeff [Redacted] (Wake Forest)
I'm torn on Jeff [Redacted]. There's no denying he's an awful coach who never should have been hired by Wake Forest. You'd have an easier time explaining the final season of Lost to your grandparents than you would explaining how Dino Gaudio got fired from Wake Forest for going 61-31 in three seasons yet [Redacted] went 34-60 in his first three years and gets to keep his job. I know the "he must have incriminating pictures of his boss" joke is played out, but I'm not sure it's a joke in this case. After all, [Redacted] and Ron Wellman, Wake Forest's athletic director, have been friends for years. Maybe [Redacted] knows personal secrets. Nothing else really makes sense. I'd do a lot of things for my friends, but neither running my career into the ground nor defiantly taking a dump all over a college basketball program are among those things.
But here's the catch: If Wake Forest finally kicks [Redacted] to the curb, my favorite college basketball subplot will come to an end, so I'm kind of hoping he sticks around a while longer. I mean, the campaign Wake Forest fans started last season to get [Redacted] fired is just fabulous. There's the Twitter account, the #BuzzOut hashtag, the call-in radio show takeover, the ads in the Greensboro News & Record, the billboard, and best of all FireBz.com, which is unquestionably the best Fire[Coach's Name].com website I've ever seen. When [Redacted] goes, all of this glorious stuff goes with him. I know you can't wait for that day, Wake Forest fans, but how about you don't be so selfish? How about you consider the rest of America? We want to see you take the #BuzzOut campaign to even greater heights. We want to hear "HASH-TAG-BUZZ-OUT [clap, clap, clap-clap-clap]" chants during Wake Forest games. We want to see you video-bomb news reports like Joey Boots and yell, "Fire [Redacted]! Wellman eats farts!" We want to see you start a Kickstarter to raise money for a #BuzzOut Super Bowl commercial. This thing is just beginning. Don't be so eager to stop now.
