Joe Moglia?

He was my football coach sophomore year of high school. He was a no-nonsense hardass back then and I doubt he has changed much. He has done a nice job at Coastal Carolina the last 2 years. Wellman (and Wake) could do a lot worse.

For some reason, I can totally see Wellman coming out of nowhere and going after somebody like Ty Willingham. Wellman is big on his coaches having "polish" to satisfy the major donors (unlike an Orgeron or Pelini), he coached at Notre Dame (i'm looking at you, Hatch) and Stanford (schools with tough academics).

Again, I don't know why, but I can see Hatch and Wellman getting a hard-on for Willingham despite his being out of the game for a few years... i guess the other obvious options make too much sense.

sleeper candidate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Wilder

0% chance Wellman hires a coach known for slamming coeds.

For some reason, and i have no idea what he is doing, but i see us going for Phil Fulmer.

 

[DeaconSig]

The football scoop tweet about coaches saying Wake is their dream job may be the (positive?) reflection of Wellman allowing coaches to suck out loud for years after everybody else has figured it out.

 

[wake20]

so the staff is gone

 

[DeaconBrews]

I like Bob Diaco too, out of coordinators.

 

[BarcaDeac]

so he's not retiring

 

[Say Hey Deac]

Ya'll be throwing out some crazy names. I love it. Let's find some more dudes who aren't even coaching football anymore at any level, maybe someone who quit a few years back and started selling life insurance or something.

Really has surprised me, but too old and doesn't fit imo.

Joe Moglia is a big WTF because he is the board of directors of TD Ameritrade as well as head coach of Coastal Carolina

 

[GoDeacs07GM]

Wellman is a very large part of the reason qualified coaches would want to coach here

 

[Billy Mitchell]

Greg Roman is dying for a head coaching job.

 

[ThinkingWithMyDeac]

What kind of salary are we throwing around? Are we paying the new coach the same as Grobe or are we going to be very pedestrian about it until the coach proves something? That will make a pretty big difference. I am afraid even with the ACC TV money we are hemorrhaging money from the HMS Buzztanic and that may result in less money for a football coach (even though Grobe is paid a lot now).

 

[socaldeac]

The coach will be from the Great State of Ohio.

 

[DeacWatcher]

Greg Roman is dying for a head coaching job.

No chance he leaves the Niners for Wake.

 

[Billy Mitchell]

No chance he leaves the Niners for Wake.

He interviewed at every open college job last year and would have gone to any that offered him. He sees his next job as a stepping stone to an NFL head coaching job.

 

[DeacKillsaDevil]

George O'Leary would be an interest pick. He won at GT and is winning at UCF. I know he is old but who cares if we win.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

According to ESPN's Triad Sports Director, Narduzzi is interested in Wake Forest opening.
