I don't know how you can let this info get out and then not get rid of him. It's one thing to let there be rumors that a buyout is holding up things while still publicly supporting the coach (last year), compared to now having a reputable source saying that you're trying to get rid of the coach.
Why wouldn't there be numerous players going elsewhere, recruits decommitting, and any coach with other opportunities pursuing them? You not only kick the entire fanbase while it's already down but you basically ensure that the program is screwed (even more-so than now) for at least the next year or two and you are proclaiming that Manning will be gone within a short timeframe. Furthermore, you're going to lose more in uncaptured revenue next season than you will in the buyout ticking down another year.
So I'm not really deterred too much with the new information added onto the original report.
So...Goodman's report has been right since the beginning. And RJ, welp, wrong.
I'm not vibing as hard as I was an hour ago. But I think Currie gets it done.
How does it neutralize Manning?
I agree that this definitely seems like a break from Wellman’s style. This is clAwesome.
Just remember that if this happens, he is looking for a new job. And he isn't getting millions to leave Wake.
Or, it gives Manning leverage because he knows Currie is now committed to getting it done. Manning can get his money either way. Currie can only do whatever it takes to get rid of Manning.
Me neither, so long as the coach is the one making the call to retain said assistant. If he wants their own entirely new staff, so be it.But how does it help him AT ALL to Tweet this? He’s not going to prove anything. He’s not going to sway Currie into keeping Manning, it actually may hurt Manning.
I actually think he would have a shot at sticking around if we get a mid major instead of a Beilein kind of guy. I wouldn’t mind it either. I would actually understand reasoning by keeping ONE of Danny’s current assistants. Keep Randolph, and you get a + recruiter and a guy that has been at Wake for a very large portion of his life. Keep Rex, and you get a guy that seems to have made an impact (I think we all agree he’s made an impact, big or small to be debated) on this team in a positive way, and he also has NBA coaching experience, learning under Van Gundy. Ernie Nestor brings another level of experience, has head coaching experience at Elon, and has been a part of a successful group at Wake Forest. Steve Woodberry has no chance.
If we get a Forbes, or a Craig Smith, or a Bob Richey, I wouldn’t be surprised or upset if he kept around one of these guys.

Did we get any sort of leak about firing him like this last year?
Are you seriously suggesting DFL Manning is going to be coaching again soon? LMAO!😂😂
He says he knows conversations are definitely happening but a $10-15 million buyout may still be too much.

I hope they are not counting on endowment money based on the last couples weeks of stocks

Question. Could we reassign Manning or does his contract state he must be the Head Basketball Coach at Wake Forest.
