Am Forbes In as long as he hires assistants in the offseason to teach defense and make in game adjustments. Am pretty sure he won’t though.

Forbes and Clawson’s situations are pretty different. With the exception of last year, Clawson generally makes the most of our talent, wins the games he should, and got us to the ACC Championship game. You could argue that Clawson’s stubbornness may have cost a few games but he doesn’t have the same glaring in game coaching weaknesses as Forbes. Coaching football at Wake is also much more difficult than coaching basketball at Wake.

Haha maybe this year.

Forbes didn't get it done this year, and I have my questions. That said, I see a bright future with him at the helm of our program.

Clawson certainly struggles down the stretch of the seasons. The ACCCG season was the exception.

Even then we were 3-3 over our last 6 games. After starting 8-0.

I love Forbes but at the end of the day it's about making the big dance. Next year dance or find a new coach.
 
I don't think Forbes will lead Wake basketball to the promised land.

He is a good recruiter (of transfers) and a very nice guy but he is not a top quality coach. When the time comes (not now), it will be hard for Currie to fire him, because doing so will essentially be an admission that Currie made the wrong choice in his first big hire as AD. That is not an easy thing to admit for a man of Currie's ego.

But the worst thing that Currie could do would be to give Forbes a contract extension, because there is no other top 100 program that would be interested in hiring him. Surely Wake learned a painful lesson with the $14M mistake it made with Manning.
 
#Forbesin is my vote - but without a standout ACCT performance, it is hard to believe he isn't going to be on hot seat lists going into next year. And that feels right and fair. He is certainly a much better coach in every aspect than his three predecessors, but our expectations has to be and should be NCAAT more often than not.

I don’t see any proof that he is a better coach than Dino. 2 NCAAT appearances in 3 years compared to 0 in 4 years.
