"If you look at Wake Forest basketball history, we've been pretty good in the past," Wellman told MyFox8.com, which is absolutely true and precisely why his fans are going crazy. Wake Forest has been pretty good in the past -- but an embarrassment recently. The Demon Deacons are an afterthought in North Carolina. Meantime, North Carolina, Duke and NC State all made this month's Field of 68. Gaudio works at ESPN, by the way.
Bottom line, what we have here is a man who made a risky hire and knows the moment he pulls the trigger on his friend is the moment the gun gets pointed back at him. In other words, Wellman, I'm guessing, knows he just has to ride this out, for better or worse.
And we've all been there, right?
Holding on too long, hoping our bad decision turns out OK even though there's almost no evidence to suggest it'll get better (or, at least, good enough to make it right). Wellman is back at the ATM, middle of the night, splitting nines and doubling down against a face. Needless to say, there's a better-than-great chance he's going to exit here broke, probably next March. But he's not willing to admit that now. So he's standing strong while the other guys at the table shake their heads and feel badly for him, wondering why he didn't just walk away gracefully when the damage was bad but not as bad as it ultimately got.
