Men's Golf

Well all you had to do was watch 10 minutes of the coverage and know that the rules Shorty states do not apply to coaching in college golf. Last night one of the Texas players and the coach were discussing a shot and specifically the club choice. In other words, you are still incorrect.

I know the rules of golf. I admit, I did not know college golf was different. And obviously, I did not watch any of the coverage.
 
bunch of folks want Kim to do the double duty and coach the mens team as well ... if that's not possible and we hire a new coach with Kim's success does it have to be another big breaker? ... if so everything I've seen is that Blair O'Neal seems to be catching on pretty quickly and wonder if she would be available ... would guys want to play for her? ...
 
You have to begrudgingly respect Stanford's Athletic program. They seem to have the uncanny performance across all Sports to have teams with middling seeds and regular season performances step up and win the national championship.

People that think golf today is anywhere near the same thing as it was in the 70's just don't know the landscape. 4.5 schollies vs basically unlimited back in the 70's. When we could have a Scott Hoch on the back burner on B team in 75 & 76 things are quite different then.

Literally no one has argued that golf is the same now as it was in the 70's. But that straw man doesn't fight back.

Bud has to an extent - but he's best ignored. Or viewed as "for amusement purposes only."

those who traveled to Palo Alto to watch Jim Harbaugh get his revenge against the Deacs at 9:00 Pacific time will remember that even the club Ultimate Frisbee squad is highly regarded*

Stanford men's golf now has 9 titles, including 3 since WF last won one

*self-reported

I was at that game sitting on the first row, right behind the Stanford bench. Stanford that year was very impressive and beat the crap out of us. Physically, they were way ahead of us. Andrew Luck wasn't bad either.

Guess the Vandy and Texas golf coaches are as crappy as our coach.

Texas coach has a Nat champ trophy and Vandy coach has turned a doormat program into a regular contender, so both are outperforming expectations over their respective tenures. Just sayin...
 
PERSPECTIVE:

Wake Forest head coach Jerry Haas was named a finalist for the national coach of the year in Division I men's golf. Coach Haas has coached WFU golfers for 22 years, and has lead WFU to 3 top-10 finishes in the NCAA’s. With Haas in charge of the men’s golf team, Wake Forest finished as high as 2nd in the ACC Two times and as high as 2nd in the NCAA One Time. Thus, under his tutelage, Wake has had 0 ACC and 0 NCAA Championships. http://godeacs.com/news/2019/5/24/mens-golf-jerry-haas-named-finalist-for-dave-williams-award.aspx

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Tutelage of Previous WF Men’s Golf Coach: Bones McKinney resigned as golf coach in 1960 to focus on basketball and Jesse Haddock was named as his successor. Coach Haddock coached WFU golfers for 30 years. With Haddock in charge of the men’s golf team, Wake Forest won 10 straight Atlantic Coast Conference championships from 1967 to 1976 and 15 ACC titles overall. Also, Coach Haddock led Wake Forest to 3 NCAA national titles in 1974, 1975 and 1986, and finished 2nd in the NCAA’s three times. Haddock retired in 1993.

0 ACC titles and only 3 NCAA top 10s in 22 years for our most "historically competitive" program. Lifetime contract!
 
I can only assume that folks are emotionally attached to the Haas name. His tenure just hasn't been that great. Certainly not good enough to have not tried something else a while ago. Without the Haas name, would he still be at Wake?

Much like Wellman, many supporters want to give him all the credit for isolated stand-out accomplishments while excusing larger systemic failures....happy to give a golf clap, slap on the back and celebrate Wake's "culture" of long pants and mediocrity. He should absolutely be winding down and going out on a high note rather than getting a raise and an extension as some have suggested. There's no evidence from 22 years of trying that he can build a consistently high performing program. Wellman's multi-decade reign is over. Time for some new blood.

Coach of the year candidate, #3 regular season finish & #5 finish final. Great season by Coach Haas and the Deacs! Going nowhere & contract extension!
 
If you really want to depress yourself go read bios for UT and Vandy's golf coaches. For good measure you could also read Stanford's and Okie States. Needless to say Jerry's accolades pale in comparison and one of these doesn't belong...

Based on 22 years at the helm one could make the same argument as the blind squirrel finding the nut....

Danny Manning was the Conference USA Coach of the Year and a finalist for 2 National Coach of the Year awards in 2014.
