Jay Wright is the eighth highest paid college coach and earns $3,878,678 per year. Jay reportedly rejected UCLA's offer to double this salary. Is Wake really willing to compete at these levels? Wes Miller is looking better.

Yes reading the disheartening story of how their search unfolded I fear Currie will be royally fucked next year when he is limited financially and there is a weaker pool of candidates: https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/la-sp-ucla-mick-cronin-coaching-search-20190429-story.html

Wake clearly has no ambition to compete at these levels.

On one hand, I’d love to have that kind of detail about prior Wake hoops coaching searches.
On the other hand, that info would probably be quite embarrassing.
Would love to know the 8 coaches that didn’t pass the “moral standards” test... Pitino? Pearl?
What moral standards test?
Rebholz also described the school’s vetting of other candidates through the NCAA and an unnamed firm based in Atlanta. He said those efforts resulted in a list of coaches considered “untouchable” because of major NCAA violations, “infidelity, very low character, etc.”
Rebholz went on to name eight prominent coaches, “many of whom wanted our job, but we couldn’t hire knowing what we know due to properly vetting them out.”
That last sentence is like saying besides AIDS your perfectly healthy.The story seems to be that Barnes was a dick. Neither Cal nor Wright were ever interested in UCLA.
We still have our three top replacements available- Shaka, Matta and Billy D.
Nothing to worry about other than another year of Danny.
