Tougher job ahead of him????? ?

[liveanddiedeac]

Clawson or Manning?

 

[TownieDeac]

Manning.

 

[liveanddiedeac]

Manning.

Short-term (3 or 4 years) I agree. Long-term, I still think football is still harder to be consistent at here.

 

[Brangus]

...I think maybe it's both...maybe both is happening at the same time.

I have a hard time remember when the outlook was as bleak going into football and basketball in the same year.

 

[Ayo]

Manning. Our expectations are higher in basketball, and the conference is stronger from top to bottom in basketball.

 

[TheTwinAndreBen]

Manning by a long shot.

Claw has easier competition and lower expectations. If Claw can notch between 6-8 wins a year, which is not a crazy task in the ACC, people will start to forget to Jim Grobe was sooner than expected.

On the other hand, making the tourney almost every year and winning a game or two is the expectation for bball and we have a looong way to go to get there.

Other than last year?

 

[Doggus]

Clawson. The world knows we can have sustained success in hoops and still have a recent enough history for putting excellent players in the league.

Last year?

 

[Kory]

Swept Tobacco Road last year, bro. - Manning.

Other than last year?

Last year the expectations weren't as bad as this year in football and basketball. I'm talking the media expectations, not ours. Most thought us to be a 4 to 6 win football team last year and most thought the hoops team might make the NIT. Most think the football team is a 2 to 3 win team and the expectations for hoops is horrible.

 

[Pilchard]

Really tough call.

Clawson has the edge in fan support, patience and expectations. With that said, a basketball program can turn around with one recruiting class or even one key recruit. While sustained success is much tougher for WF football than basketball, I will call it even because Clawson has a lot more time to turn things around than Manning does before it gets ugly.

 

[TownieDeac]

Had the thread title included one more question mark though, I'd have to give it to Clawson.

There you go.

 

[Neurodeac]

The space between the last 2 question marks threw me off completely and prevented me from answering the question. It was reminiscent of the W AKE issue in the endzone a few years ago.

 

[Ayo]

Other than last year?

Some people really thought we were gonna win 7 or 8 games in football last year.

I wanted to make sure Townie noticed the added "?"

It was just luck that it serves as a tribute to W AKE as well.

I was going to say Manning until I remembered that we have Wilbekin, Rondale, the Greek Freak, and THE KING CRAB coming to the rescue next year.
