Well said.
And about three to five guys who post here could have won more games last than [Redacted].
Neither Dino nor [Redacted] is a high D1 HC. Neither can coach in real game situations. It's basically like asking, "which fat, ugly, mean, lazy woman do you want to be married to without being divorced."

UVA with London? Coached 2 years at FCS Richmond (won with Clawson's team) and now has won 8 ACC games in 4 years? He's coming back for another year as well, right?
What are you talking about? London didn't have a long track record when he was hired, but it was a good one. The comparison works if we had hired [Redacted] directly after Air Force, but he had 3 losing seasons between when we hired him and the successful Air Force stint (with the Scott / Mooney players).

Hiring a guy coming off a FCS championship (and who was an assistant on successful UVa squads) is nothing like hiring a guy coming off of 3 straight losing years at Colorado.

There is nothing comparable to the Bz hire. Nothing.

As I said in the post, I'm talking about an AD being able to make a hire like Bz in the first place. Look at what London did at Richmond:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_London
Now look at what Bz did at Colorado.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bzdelik
Bz finished last, last, and eighth in his three years at Colorado.
Hmm, interesting in Dallas the writers openly talk about whether Garrett will be fired, whether he should be kept, they all pretty much say 'Jerry the GM' should be fired.
I doubt anyone is saying Dan needs to come out and say because of all this Bzz should be fired at the end of the season. But discussing whether Bzz' job is in jeopardy or what his team needs to do to secure a 5th year at Wake would be ...... well ..... I guess .... analysis and reporting?
And if he want's to be 'subtle' about, it do a little more research and include something like 'the last ACC coach to go 1-27, 2-26 on the road in the ACC was ....
Let's just call it what it is, Dan has 2 1/2 months of this crap to cover, and he's going to try and toe the line to make his job easier over that time period and hopes the team comes around or Bzz is fires so he can go back and write nice comfortable pieces again.

He does discuss it. At the appropriate time. He's discussed it later in the season each of the past two years at least. I'm sure he will discuss it later in the year this year. But you and I and everyone else know Wellman's not doing anything until the end of the season at least.

I think it's more being afraid that Wellman won't fire him at the end of the year. Again.
The truth is that this team has some skill, but zero ability to play tough inside. Our guys were in position yesterday but got overpowered. Also CMM played like crap when they put the run on us. Devin out if control, cmm passive, Tyler too weak to finish. We are physically undersized, and can't shoot freethrows.

London coached for all of 2 years at an FCS school with another coach's team. He inherited an absolute goldmine of talent from Clawson.
I'm just saying UVA hiring a guy who only had 2 years of FCS coaching experience, successful though they may have been, was extremely controversial and has proven to be a pretty huge failure. They just went 0-8 in year 4. UVA should be good at football - they're going backward. At least we've seen some improvement with Wake, paltry though it may be.
There is at least a narrative with [Redacted] as a rebuilder, plus he was an NBA head coach and took Air Force to the NCAA's which was nuts for them at the time. Also Colorado has been solid since his exit. It was a terrible hire, but let's not go overboard with this "no other AD could make such a hire" nonsense.
At this point I'd be fine if we continue to mirror [Redacted]'s Colorado experience. That would mean we ditch him this year, maybe make an NIT appearance, then win 45+ games with 2 NCAA appearances in 2015 and 2016. Sounds good to me. Nothing we can do about the past.
