Steve Forbes

I think my mine grip with them was the black shorts which ruined the black unis for me. Something about the gold outlined WF logo on the shorts that doesn't sit right with me. I know I was in the minority on this though as social media loved them

1) No one said Wes “really” wants this job in particular. He wants big jobs I’m sure. It was many of us that wanted him to have our job in particular because we want to see WF win.

2) If Forbes hangs it up in 10 years, I for one would prefer someone younger than what Wes will be at that age.

Again, I think Forbes is awesome. Of course I would have hired Miller but that doesn’t mean I don’t think Forbes will improve our program greatly. I bet he does. And I love the guy’s personality.

But, as for Miller, he just got listed as 2nd choice at age 37 for an ACC school that his father was previously a large donor and is an alum. This is the same school that would not let him walk on and so he instead did so at a rival school helping win big things. So, to be clear, it doesn’t take any insight to know any chance to heal up Miller and Wake Forest is definitely closed at this point.

For better or worse, the concept of Miller to Wake Forest is now permanently off the table.

It’s the Steve Forbes era at Wake Forest. If it’s ever not the Steve Forbes era, it will be John Curries show again and I bet Currie will make another good choice. But that will never be Miller now. Next topic here. Any future posts on Miller will be on Inside Carolina. Because he has nothing to do with Wake Forest.

So you’re saying you’re not going to make any more posts about Wes Miller on this board?

Forbes is going to drag his sack across the ACC in a few years. So pumped.

Off topic but am I the only one who hated the new unis this past season. I thought the white threads were decent. Black shorts were hideous with the gold trimmed WF logo on the leg and waist. Greys were also hot trash. Really can't understand how alot of those designs passed

I liked them a lot. A helluva upgrade from what they were. The past decade we’ve played like shit, and looked like shit.
 
I presume the Forbes family stayed At Graylyn last night.

Hey folks, where is this Putters place ?
 
Across the street and on the side where the motel is on Cherry street across from Elizabeth's.
 
I think Coach Forbes will be successful at Wake. If for some reason he isn’t, it is comforting to know that no matter how long Coach Forbes is at Wake, Coach Miller will always just be hanging out in Greensboro waiting for the call.

Like the not so subtle saltiness of this post. "No one said Wes WANTED THIS job" and his dad was a "PREVIOUSLY LARGE DONOR."

Hold my coffee while I hide my keys...

Not only that, but it's been repeatedly reported that Forbes was Currie and Wake's number one target.
So we didn't "miss" on HOF Wes... we never wanted him. Period.
 
Hope Forbes had the common sense to order half crispy, half floppy.
 
Yeah ETSU fans are understandably salty. If we were where we were when we fired Dino the mentality would be different. Will be nice to be back to a respectable program in the future.

"Coaching in the SOCON is a destination job for me" said no coach ever.

Wes Miller has spent a quarter of his life coaching there, so maybe it’s a destination job for him?
