Also, you don't want to get a reputation for firing coaches after two or three years. I don't understand how that's a hard concept for fans to Grasp. If we were to fire Danny or even redacted for that matter, after 3 years then we would have a reputation for burning through coaches and quite frankly we're Wake Forest and can't afford that reputation.

He was talking about me. He took my saying redacted wouldn't get fired until at least the end of third year as supporting him that long.
But be nice to Racer. He needs someone to be his friend.
I'm not convinced Danny is leaving. At seems like people conveniently forget Danny took wake to a NCAA tournament a few years back.
WF went to the NCAA tournament in Manning's 3rd year. He wasn't getting fired then. It was WF's first NCAA bid in 8 seasons; anyone contending that Manning should've been fired after three years is a clown.
The earliest Manning would've/should've been fired was after last season. Based upon information available, it appears that Manning's ridiculous contract and the transition to a new AD at least partially explained why he survived an additional year. A change is about to be made. Pointless to stamp your feet and whine that the move should've been made sooner. The most important thing is that WF hires the right replacement.
We have certainly proved that 'fire coaches to quickly' reputation wrong. We are more of a '6 years of coaching, plus another $15 mm buyout' suckers reputation.
There have been negotiations going on but I heard they have hit a snag.
I didn't think I'd have add this, but I will. Inherent in my earlier statement is the "buyout" is not going to stop anything and has been put to rest.
This is where I remind you that you stuck by the idea that [Redacted] and Manning were good coaches far longer than most.
Dude, you aren’t allowed to take a victory lap on something you are wrong about. That’s not how it works.
If the buyout weren’t an issue, he’d have been gone last year. And there wouldn’t be a need for complicated (apparently) negotiations... You’d just fire the guy and move on.
The real issue will be if we can’t afford top level candidates due to what we owe Manning.
But, as always, we’ll never know the full story because it’s all kept private. Will just have to read the tea leaves.
Right now those tea leaves are saying Manning is gone... It’s just a matter of when. I’d guess after the ACC tourney, but it sounds like many around here (including you) think it’ll be next week. That’d be great!
Why should Manning negotiate anything? Wake signed that fucking contract, and now you honor it. Case closed.
It’s not unreasonable to stand behind a coach for 4 years, especially one who is running a clean program. NOBODY would want to take our job if we treated coaches like a 3 year car lease.
Racer, you are a smart dude and you know this to be true. I agree with you that we have nothing to show for it after 10 years, but the fact we treated Bzzz and Daniel with such a long leash is going to put us in the best position to reel in a quality coach.
