Wake Forest fires Danny Manning

[Frozen]

Canning Manning.

 

[Marty McFly]

didn't he just get extended?

 

[pearl31]

Look. This is me being shocked.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Some alum must have ponied up big bucks.

 

[Toga]

Great player. Lousy coach. SMH over Wake extending him.

 

[shermstheman]

Dang. I loved Manning as coach of a rival. I’m trying to get Pitt to rehire Kevin Stallings and dump Capel.

 

[HakAttack]

That was about two seasons too late.

 

[kingtidge]

Many people will be shocked by this.

They will include:

He actually did a good job coaching the KU big men when he was there for anyone interested in a big man coach.

Do we have a Grad Assistant spot open?

 

[Jake]

That’s a tough job.

He never played point guard, so nothing to see here.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Media silent on this...

Wake hasn't officially announced anything yet.

True but thats never stopped these guys before

 

[rhcuse]

We’re trading coaches, Red for Danny. We can’t announce until we lose, however, so that will be some time next January.

He signed last year through 24-25. You are right. That's a lot of money to eat.

Gotta be better than our alleged big man coach

 

[NKR1978]

That’s a tough job.

I actually think it’s a good job. Obviously incredibly unique for a P5 conference, and I think uniqueness is something that can appeal to a certain kind of coach and player.

I need to google how Larry Brown conveniently hired Ed Manning as an assistant coach who then conveniently brought his son along as a recruit. Nothing to see there.

Dino Gaudio is available.

 

[corpjet]

Not surprised, did nothing in the shadows of the "Big Boys" down the interstate...Im sure that big backer/alum (can't think of his company) with court side seats next to the Wake bench will find them a fine new coach

 

[Alsacs]

If I were Wake Forest I want to turn it around.
I go to Davidson coach Bob McKillop and say you are 68 come finish your career the 4 years here and then retire.
Moving from Charlotte area to Winston-Salem wouldn’t be that hard for him.
Double his salary from Davidson and have him turn the program around and then hire someone to replace him with stability.

Wonder how this leaves Brandon Childress, their leading scorer, who will be a senior, and his father Randolph who was an assistant under Manning? I watched both of them in the last 2 games televised and their frustration was apparent. Wonder if they had any say, if they are upset or happy and what this might mean regarding Brandon’s senior year.
