I don't think Ron's the only one involved this time. Remember Hatch's letter declaring he and other bigwigs would be closely involved in the hiring process? We never got a letter like that before. I thought it was a clear effort to reassure the fanbase that the president/BOT/big donors had no intention whatsoever of letting Ron poop in his own crate again. Their motivation for involving themselves? To salvage the Wake Will campaign. They are as desperate as we are to see a good coach come to Wake. This is a critical hire and RW is not going to be trusted to do this alone. Now, the oversite group may trot him out to talk to this person or that person, but they are in charge. I don't think they want Danny Manning, either.
