There's nothing anywhere about a presser....
Supposedly it is on FB. I am not on FB, so can't check.
Something called Demon Deacon Nation???
If it's a matter of the donor money coming up short for the buyout, just finance the stupid thing and get his ass out of here! Surely a school with a $1.3B endowment and the credit rating of a Top 30 institution can get a loan from a bank to pony up the money needed to get this thing done? The resurgence of tkt revenues alone from hiring a real coach will probably be enough to pay the loan back over 2-3 years. And the annual ACC TV revenue would make for good collateral.
This is ridiculous if true. Keeping DM does NOTHING to help us going forward and both sets us back several more years and hamstrings a weakened John Currie, who looks like an idiot for taking a job where he has no control of the key decision-making for a year and change.

Nobody calls a press conference at 8:30.
Just logged into FB for the first time in months. Went to Demon Deacon Nation page for first time. Those people seem weird.
What's to stop Currie from firing him on May 1? Besides the fact that all of the good coaches will be elsewhere.
Attention Ron: the talking points you sent out are stupid and the people you sent them to aren’t really your friends and don’t agree.
As multiple people have stated, Wake LOSES money by keeping Manning around via lost ticket sales, concessions, parking, donations, corporate support, adds, etc. There is no way that is less than $2M a year. Unfortunately, it appears our current admin is too stupid to realize this or negligently ignores it.
Excitement generated from hiring a good, proven coach with a modicum of charisma would probably sell 5,000 season tkt packages at $350 a pop for a cool $1.75M right there. Add in a couple more mill from the ACC TV revenue honey pot and we're good. What in the name of Zeus is going on here really?
To play with the big boys, you gotta play the game, and that means big-time dollars. You can't keep running your supposed flagship on a shoestring budget. Insanity. Just go to the Southern Conference and get it over with.
JC's trolling us...right?
