If there have truly been efforts by this inept AD to oust Manning but now there simply is not enough money to buy him out, think of where that leaves the program for the next 12+ months.
You have a coach who knows his administration doesn't want him and very well might retaliate with spiteful behavior. Very possible.
Any recruit with an IQ above 80 will not set foot on the Wake campus
The fan-base will be absolutely non-existent and the team will likely play in front of hundreds of people (maybe)
Dissension will most certainly take over with assistants and any players who choose to remain
The possibility of hiring any decent candidate, given this complete fiasco, is probably nil
Perhaps there have been no backroom efforts to remove Manning. If that's the case, then it signals even BIGGER problems of an athletic department that is totally dysfunctional.
In either case, this is a no-win situation for alums and fans.
This like telling your spouse you want a divorce only to learn it will cost you too much and now you sleep in the car every night
