I guess Wegmans at 9 AM will have to wait.

Won’t be SU related. John’s on at 830 and guests are usually 15 mins.

Discussing Covid protocols. Says the fan experience isn't perfect, but it's better. Hopes to be back to normal in the Fall.

Talks LAX. Both MLAX and WLAX mean a lot to the community. Expectations are always high. Gait and K-Train were the best candidates for the job.

Spring FB. Upgraded our staff. Says were "close" to hiring a WR coach. #34 is coming back.

Need National NIL Legislation. Portal is here to stay, need to have dead portal periods where kids can't enter mid-season.

CFP Expansion: Must reimagine the whole CFB calendar to work playoff games in. Take the time to get it right.

Nothing on hoops? The elephant in the room?

No elephants today.

The BIG Announcement:

The NC State - Va Tech Wrestling match was rescheduled.

 

[Horn88]

No elephants today.

I’m not familiar with the show or how these go but is that odd?

Seems weird to have an AD on and discuss a bunch of his school’s sports but not the flagship program who is mid season in what looks like the HoF coach and face of the athletic department’s first losing season in 40+ years.

We're really nailing this media stuff lately.

Hmm, I heard him talk a bunch about football

My guess is the topic was off limits as direct by JW

Why even go on then? Not asking *you*. Just saying - that makes no sense at all. Unless he's being a puppet.

We're having a substantially poor regular-season to date. For the first time in a half century, we've lost more games that we've won. I don't like it. You don't like it ...
... but let's not act like it is a scandal or anything.

There is no scandal. I'm not saying that.

But what I am saying is that we are basically tripping over ourselves the last few weeks between post game pressers, JB's interviews, JW today, etc.

No one is dying, for sure. Life will go on. But we're messing up the easy stuff.

Well it is an ACC show and they talk about all things ACC. I don’t disagree with you at all

 

[Consigliere]

Honestly what would you expect him to say about basketball? That we are all disappointed in the record? Not exactly newsworthy. That he is replacing the HC immediately and bringing in a new roster tomorrow? Not in this lifetime.
The program will be evaluated after the season and I expect John to speak very openly and candidly about it at that time. He certainly did post season for lacrosse and football.
Wildhack is a regular guest in the program as are Dino, Buddy, and JB to a lesser extent. There are individuals from every ACC school that come on regularly to talk about the state of ACC sports. Excellent program and insightful discussions. Not just breaking news.

The fact that he said nothing says a lot more than if he just gave general, PC answers

Was he even asked about it?

If not, why would he bring it up, unsolicited?

Interviews usually go:
Host asks a question.
Guest replies.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

JW isn’t gonna answer a question that wasn’t even asked.

If it is no big deal why not talk about it? No offense the average listener doesn't really give a rat's tail about our lax future or his opinion on NIL, etc.

packer and durham probably did him a favor in a way by not putting him on the spot

No dreaded vote of confidence, etc

Do you really think that in todays day and age that exactly in the middle of our hoops program being a total dumpster fire that press wouldn't ask about it unless it was a previously agreed on stipulation to the interview?

This.

Purposeful avoidance.
