if Childress does end up on Forbes' staff, I would guess he's the first ACC assistant coach to ever survive two firings

Childress was the lead recruiter for John Collins, Jaylon Hoard, Bryant Crawford, Dinos Mitoglou, Isaiah Mucius, Ishmael Massoud and some others that didn't pan out like Melo Eggleston.
He also had a significant near miss with Brandon Randolph.
The AAU team PSA Cardinals has a very good relationship with Childress. If has a good head coach to sell them on, that should continue to pay off.
Childress is on staff. Forbes mentioned it again today in an interview with Seth Greenberg.
If I were a high school coach and had a relationship with Childress, why exactly would I trust him? He tried to sell me on [Redacted] and he tried to sell me on Manning. Credibility shot. And a good high school coach won’t need selling on Forbes because he can see for himself that Forbes would be a good person to send a kid to play for.
This is a terrible take, he sells them on Wake Forest first and foremost. His job was to get talent into Wake no matter how crappy he thought the head guy was. He understands what it takes to succeed at Wake academically and culturally to these kids and has great contacts which would only be enhanced by actually having a decent head coach. If you are a salesman, and your boss is a prick, does that mean you don't have to go out and try to sell something? To me this makes him an incredible salesman, to be able to get some good players WITHOUT having a good coach. Besides, this was TOTALLY Forbes decision as Currie told him to hire whomever he wanted, regardless of who was on the previous staff
The Manning stink needs to go, all of it. Childress has been coaching for 2 of the biggest losers in Wake history. Serious question, if Childress wasnt a Wake legend would he still be on Forbes staff?
To be fair BZ destroyed the program, Manning maintained BZ's legacy.

The Wake Forest website still only lists Forbes and Childress as the coaching staff.
