Don't see Danny getting another shot anytime soon.

Funny that Tim has all but retired and yet, his job prospects live on...

Wake Forest hasn�t been worth a damn since the untimely death of Skip Prosser. Somewhat surprising Wake chose this time (reduced revenues due to pandemic). Widely rumored here in a North Carolina Wake couldn�t afford to dump Manning due to his supposed 11 million dollar buyout when the economy here was beyond roaring. Don�t disagree with his getting the axe, just surprised it�s now during this massive time of uncertainty.

He retired long before he retired.

This, plus the fact that he could have more job interviews in a week than most of us have in a lifetime.

If Wake is buying out Mannning for 11M at ANY point, let alone now, don't ask me for a nickel if I'm an alumnus.

Bro, it's the alumni who pay for the buyouts.

That may be true. Still, don't ask me for a nickel. That 11M should be doing something better than lining a coaches pocket. Who would be the idiot that ponies up for that?

Only reason I would assume is that they are going to get a coach for a heck of a lot cheaper than what Manning was making. Why roll the dice on someone making $5 mill a year when you could go younger and have a shot at filling the building? I mean no reason to pay someone to suck for $5 mill a year when you could roll the dice on being potentially better and fill the arena if they get good.

If they have money to buy out a coach, no matter the source of the money or whether it's 111k or 11M, they don't need my money.

+1

This was almost as surprising as your humble correspondent making a comment about the Civil War in any thread where there was even a slight connection, or one that he could manufacture. ;-)

Why? Are you so bitter and closed-minded you wouldn't donate because you don't like how other people spend their money? Who are you to say that?

If someone thinks it�s a good idea to pay a coach 11m to walk away, if that is even true, you�re right, it�s none of my business. However, since I have a choice in how I spend my money, when I see, in my opinion such waste, I decide they don�t need my money. Their priorities and mine do not align.
