ETA: Ron met with Danny yesterday.

Positive takeaway: It's still uncertain whether there's an offer, but Manning is a legitimate candidate to take over for Jeff [Redacted].

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Welp, this is bad news.

Methinks you were right about all the rando posters last night being AD peons

can we do an IP check to see if they're in Winston?

 

[ipitytheblue]

I'm too lazy of a mod to actually do mod things, ask one of the good ones

I wish Dan would redact ******** name in all future articles.

i still disagree with this. he and wellman don't deserve a pass. take your lumps for the disaster of the last 4 years. his name should become an internet meme. a cautionary tale. it should never be forgotten.

yes, i am holding a grudge. especially if this search continues down the path we all fear... (test) that wellman has [name redacted]'d this hire.

So bad... If their actually meeting with Manning that means there's no one else out there... and even HE might turn us down...

Not what I wanted to read as I jumped back into this thread...

 

[PhDeac]

Ole Dan is quite the baseball fan and he makes an excellent point:

"The only way that Ron Wellman hits a home run by hiring Danny Manning is if he grounds one across third base and it rattles around in the corner long enough for Wellman to leg out an inside-the-parker. He's going to have to lay down some serious tracks to convince a fractured fan base looking askance at his every move that a coach who has all of 67 games as a college coach under his belt is the man to pull the Wake program out of the morass into which it has found itself".

Yep. And I don't think Wellman can run that fast anymore. Back in the day, he could hit a pop fly and tell everybody it went over the fence. Can't do that now.

so deman was right?

where's the emoticon of ramming your head into the wall?

That article just means Manning talked to Wake, something we already knew.

I still think the "Wake is interested" story is from Manning's side. I bet we met and talked and that's it.

 

[Fuck Your Couch]

so deman was right?

end of the world guys.

 

[WakeForest Fan]

Facepalm

this will work

 

[Stinkdawg76]

News of Manning's interview is not what I was hoping for when I jumped back into this thread...

 

[bigdoublezero]

We're so fucked. I hope the brass at Wake know this.

Still bad news though right? Wouldn't be meeting at all if we were close to hiring someone better.

 

[wvudeac]

Whole lotta rationalizing going on.

Time to start an official Athletic Director Search thread.

 

[DEAC22]

Don't worry - it won't be long till Wellman's name is also redacted here. Of course the revamped Coliseum or the court itself will likely be named after him.
