@BloggerSoDear Danny Manning just walked into IMG Downtown.. Deal done?


ETA: I have no idea what that means.

It means he has to go kiss Ben Sutton's ass now.

 

[bigdoublezero]

He left today for the games on Saturday night? Fucking seriously?

DON'T RUIN THIS MOMENT FOR HIM

 

[Liquid Karma]

Wellman is in Dallas so I doubt there's any announcement until after the championship game....so Tuesday?

I'm getting really fucking sick of Wellman treating Wake as his second biggest priority right now.

 

[IAppreciateIt]

Are people still holding out hope that Danny Manning isn't our next coach? It's over. It's been over.

#DenCity is holding out hope Manning says no. The rest of us are afraid that he might say no.

Agreed

He may have even left yesterday. There's a huge NABC convention where he can chat people up.

This really feels like a late night hookup as the bar is closing between the only two people left

Not the only two left. Russell Turner and Jeff Capel are just in bathroom!

 

[WFU Lurker]

If we have an unsigned coaching candidate in Winston and Wellman is not in Winston..well I don't even know what to say.

 

[mothersodear]

If Wellman isn't taking care of this and, instead, is drawn to his NCAA job, who's handling DM today? Buddie?

I'm at work and don't have time to read much...do we have a yes or no? Still just a "lean"?

You don't really expect something as important as the NCAA tourney to proceed effectively without the smartest man in the room, do you?

Capel wasn't allowed in the bar. He is peaking through the window hoping to snag a straggler.

 

[OldGoldandGrobe]

This is a Debbie Yow-esque performance.

I hear there is another guy working at ESPN Ocho with some head coaching experience and multiple NCAA tournament appearances under his belt.

 

[Say Hey Deac]

Numbers, get serious -- they're not going to wait until next Tuesday to announce Manning as the coach.

 

[BudatWake]

Hard to believe that $$$ is the thing that sways Manning. Did he just piss away all he made in the NBA?

 

[deacvision7]

The NABC Convention is today: http://www.nabc.com/convention/index

Not sure if it makes it better or worse, but I assume he'll be in attendance.

Pretty sure he isn't a coach.

Maybe he is going to NETWORK with Shaka some more. Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

 

[bigdoublezero]

Yeah, if there's one thing we know about people, it's that the more money they make, the less they care about making more money.

 

[DemonDeacon501]

Shouldn't Danny Manning be there, too? Maybe he's no longer at WFU, despite the (alleged) IMG sighting.

 

[Chef Bobby Flay]

Just so I can fit in with all of those who can believe things in spite of all evidence to the contrary, I'm just going to choose to believe Shaka Smart is actually the coach for Wake Forest. I mean no disrespect to whomever is ultimately saddled with the job, but it makes me happier this way.

 

[ACCOffice]

In Dallas at the convention. Wake has a booth at the Sheraton trying to attract coaches. Was told Wellman will be manning the booth from 3-7.

This is in that gray area between sarcasm and actually believable shit our administration might do.
