College basketball hot-seat list for 2019-20:
- Pat Chambers Penn State (board fave)
- Jim Christian BC (opener is an elimination game)
- Tim Jankovich SMU
- Dave Leitao DePaul (amazing that DePaul hired DL after he ruined UVA)
- Danny Manning WF (WF has yet to finish the ACC higher than 10th during Manning's tenure)
- Josh Pastner
- Shaka Smart (another board fave)

In a poll of coaches before last season, WF was ranked the 11th out of 15 among ACC jobs. The rankings:
1. Duke
2. L'ville
3. UNC (hard to believe that UNC is rated behind L'ville)
4. Cuse
5. NC State (surprising)
6. UVA (would've been near the bottom before TB arrived)
7. ND (really? South Bend, IN)
7. GT
9. FSU
10. Clemson (amazing that this job is now ahead of WF in coaches eyes)
11. WF
12. VT
13. Pitt
14. Miami
15. BC
WF is near the bottom in media exposure, budget/resources, admission requirements). WF is highest rated in recruiting base and selling prospects.

Not that surprising, given the timing of the poll. Brownell and company were coming off their best year in two decades and Dabo was bringing in the dough for whole athletic department. A poll this year might have Wake falling behind VT.

I disagree...this poll was done before our new facilities opened this year which now put us as one of the best in the ACC and the country in that category. Splitting hairs but a poll done this year would probably have us slightly ahead of Notre Dame and GT based on facilities alone.
