Also, I think we shoud burn Jason King in effigy on The Quad.
IT IS TIME FOR THE AD DEPT TO LET IT BE MADE PUBLIC THEIR INTENTIONS.
I change that...it is PAST time. This is the most Mickey-Mouse, stupid, ridiculous process that I have ever seen with regards to a basketball coach.
Didnt Wake go to the NCAA a few years back?
It is realistic in that he's being set up to fail. What if they won't let him fire Danny next year due to financial concerns?
Having Danny stay isn't just one lost year for the biggest program under his control, it's a minimum of two or three (and could be more) due to recruiting.
Currie is still well thought of in the industry or Texas wouldn't have had him on retainer. He would have gotten another plum job.
Again, you think he should have turned down the AD job at his alma mater because he can't immediately fire the basketball coach?

Unless he got a fully guaranteed, 10 year contract, he should have.
If either the football program doesn't continue its success or Clawson moves on, Currie could be totally screwed.
Here's a question- If he's barred from firing Danny due to a $10-18M buyout, why can't he be barred from doing the same thing when it's $9-15M?
As young as he is and as well as he has done, he would very likely get another P5 job, but if he comes to Wake and fails he's done on this level.
Ban this POS before I find out who he is and track him down. Yes, it is funny that WFU ruined both the football and basketball seasons of the cow college.
It's time to just deal with it. We're Wake fans and this is what we do, we suffer. Manning will eventually be fired and we'll all have something to get excited about, but in the short term, someone has made a determination that the cost to fire and replace is too much. We'll all be back here next year for another round of this crap.

Not all of us.
Weird how when Wellman’s retirement was leaked, assumed Currie was running things and working deals and pushing Wellman out the door.
Now people believe Currie is just twiddling his thumbs maybe showing up every few days to put a box of his stuff in a storage closet down the hall from Wellman’s office.
Yeah, I don't get that. He didn't make the Manning deal. I am sure he is or has been working hard to fix it, but he does not have a magic wand.

Maybe Manning will catch lightning in a bottle but more likely the buyout will be less and we'll move on to someone else.
I don't blame Currie for this mess, but the photos at Texas were really tone def and he really just looks ineffective in his first month. That said, if he retains Clawson and in 12 months hires a good basketball coach we'll all forgive him.
With the Manning as the most current example, WF provides more job security than just about every other Power V school. Currie will be given decades (plural) to run the athletic department absent a scandal that is traced directly to him. Wellman is universally criticized among WF fans, donors and alumni, and he kept the AD job for 25 years until he was close to 70. Currie is not going to get run out of WF if Manning stays another year and Clawson leaves. Understand the audience.
I still think DM is out and am not going to change my mind because some arbitrary Tuesday deadline set by message board posters has been missed. There is absolutely zero reason to keep DM if Wellman is going to step down. Even steep buyouts can be negotiated. Don’t have to pay them in lump sums it that’s the concern.
But if the buyout is an issue, and certainly if it is enough of an issue to retain him or make firing him difficult, then not only does RW need to go, but so does Hatch and whoever signed off on such an idiotic contract in the BOT.
