He'll be out of work for maybe 5 minutes.

Some other college or pro team will hire him.

It would suck if he was working against us for some other ACC team.
I have to imagine the new HC will bring in his own GM. If we do this hire right the new HC has a staff already assembled/in mind.

That's one of Red's multiple failures. Guy had several years to prepare and yet he did nothing to bring on board new coaches and new front office personnel. Good HCs have a crew ready to join them.

Kline is very well respected and I imagine will have a voice in the next hire. He's not going anywhere and it would be bad news if he left.
 
What X's and O's is Duke running that makes them good year after year?
I agree. Strategy has no impact on the games. Let's just hire Bozo the Clown to sit on the sidelines and make balloon animals to entertain the fans while the games are going on.

Kline works for JW, not the basketball program from what I understand...Wouldn't be surprised if he's the only one that stays.

Got it. I didn't realize he wasn't part of the basketball organization.
 
George was a good player last year and one of the most coveted PGs in the portal. His regression has more to do with coaching (or lack thereof), a poor offensive system, and bad player development more than anything IMO.
Coaching in that he chooses to ignore his coach and just do whatever he wants? He is definitely not a team player, which is just one more downside to the portal. No allegiance. No loyalty to the team.

Damon Stoudamire didn't seem that disappointed when George transferred. "He's talented but inconsistent" or something to that effect is the quote I remember. Granted, that's likely sour grapes and an attempt to diminish the transfer, but there's truth in there. He's been very disappointing.
 
What are you talking about? Wildhack is the current AD and hasn’t announced any plans to retire. There won’t be a new AD in the next two months!
The original plan I heard was that John and Kent were both retiring this summer. Maybe with KS leaving early the plan was scuttled.

Personally, I like JW and hope he stays on and takes care of the hoops situation. We'll see.

I always thought George was the key this year. With a more dominant front court than he had at GT he should've made a bigger jump but just never did. Blame it on coaching or player or both equally, doesn't matter they'll be gone.

NCState just showed how bad our backcourt was. George/JJ/Kiyan against Qadir/and their other starting guards.

I'll let you guys guess which line is ours and which is there's. We better find some guys that can shoot the ball next year.
