Sarcasm.
Some of the "big" names floated early like Billy Donovan and Jay Wright were pipedreams.
Depending on who you believe, there was mutual interest between Wake and Tubby Smith but negotiations stalled over $$$'s. Steve Alford and Brad Brownell were in the mix at one point but no idea whether interest waned from the Wake side or theirs.
I still believe there were some coaches not interested in a rebuilding situation who looked at the talent (or lack thereof) returning and what was in the pipeline and passed.
It wasn't a rebuilding situation. It was a typical thing that happens in all programs.
