It's weird to be in a place where we're talking about our HC getting poached. I don't think any Wake HC has ever been hired away by a program that would be consodered a step up. Yeah, Grobe was close, but it didn't happen.
Mackovic went to Texas.

Clawson and his family are very happy in Winston-Salem. He has said so on many occasions.
He's a great fit at Wake and we've upgraded the facilites to keep him here. :thumbsup:
Wellman actually got this hire right.

Not that I think he'll leave anytime soon, but what's he supposed to say in public? "Fuck this place, I'm leaving as soon as I get the chance." Coaches are publicly happy until the press conference is scheduled when they resign to go elsewhere.
Yeah, I forgot about all of that other stuff. That's like saying Caldwell went straight to Colts head coach.
True, but Clawson has come out several times unprovoked and said that he loves Wake and considers it his final job.
Of course he has. He's healthy, in the prime of his career and successful, and making more money than god. Wake and W-S have been good to him and his family.
He's also driven and highly competitive. It's unlikely he finishes his career at Wake. When he moves on we should all wish him well.
Could Clawson be the extraordinarily rare coach who decides he likes WF enough to stay despite offers to go elsewhere? Sure, it's possible, but this idea that Wake is a place that no coach in their right mind would ever want to leave is kind of funny.
Mike Reilly went to Corvallis HS, where his father was an assistant at Oregon St. Years later he would return as OSU headcoach. He developed a winner out of the doormat program. The Chargers came to him with a boat load of money. He left the program to Dennis Erikson who thumped ND in the Fiesta Bowl with Reilly's players. Erikson went on to the 49ers. Reilly came back to Corvallis. When asked by a reporter, what did he learn in the NFL he said "If you're happy, then stay happy". 'Nuff said.
