[If, IF, we're right and it's Forbes...]I’m glad to see Currie go for a coach that doesn’t fit the typical Wake mold. It will be fun to win for a change.
OK. So now it appears that I got the okey doke on Matta. Yes, I’m a tad disappointed if that happened.
Now I understand that Miller had an interview but did not receive an offer. Looks like it’s Forbes. If so, that is an interesting hire and one that should excite us! We shall see.
Or you could talk about the fact that for a year I've telling anyone who would listen Goodman's $18M($15M) numbers were bullshit. And it came true.
What Babydeac said was they were firing him for cause which set a goal of $0. Nothing with what Babydeac posted.
I know very little about Forbes. If he is the pick. His background does not seem very Wake Forest. Never coached at a private university. Let alone a quality university with high academic standards. Most of the places he has coached enroll any student that graduates HS. His pedigree seems to be attached to coaches with questionable character. He does not seem to be an intellect. He seems to be a ball coach. His demeanor reminds me of the BC football coach that just got fired. He definitely does not come across as a Clawson. I could see why Currie may favor him... He knows him and his loyalty will be to him. Wes Miller’s family connections are above Currie, Thad and Beilein require big money (big risk to Currie if they fail), Kelsey to intermingled to Wellman’s legacy, and any Duke coach is a Dukie. The save play may be Forbes, but he seems to be a round peg that will not fit into a square university.
Good.
And guess what? If he isn't a good fit, he'll get a job elsewhere and Currie can hire Patrick Stuffington III to be the next coach.
Perhaps the BEST thing about Forbes is that he is that he doesn't seem like a "Wake Forest guy" and doesn't fit the "typical Wake Forest mold."
Especially if guys like Wellman and Manning are what you think of when you think of a "Wake Forest guy..."
If he is the guy, people will absolutely love Forbes because he is so not an intellectual snot like Amaker. Hatch would probably love your position.
Clawson is so rare, stop trying to find the hoops version of him.
Hope we get as good of of presser as this tomorrow. Skip to 16 mins, this guy is great. https://youtu.be/D9suX3XRYKI
All these people complaining about Forbes not being a perfect private school fit ... it’s like the era of unwiped ass never happened. I’d rather win than have perfect socks.
And if Forbes brings this kid home, and the NCAA does its proposed free transfer this year, there might be some excitement in the Joel when we have basketball back.
