MBB 2020 Coaching Carousel

[MCFinARL]

Not a very long bus ride from chappaheeya to Wilmington...

No, but the ride feels longer when you are under the bus.

I could see Texas being a destination for him perhaps. Goodness knows Shaka is doing a poor job there.

That said, Beilein's style is less than flashy (though one cannot argue with the results) and it may be that Texas will want someone to get the fans a bit more excited.

Either Shaka or Beilein to WFU. They gotta get Danny Manning out of that job.

If they weren’t willing to pay for Manning’s buyout last year, I doubt they’d pay whatever it is this year plus pay the salary requirements for an experienced new HC.

When Dave Odom left Wake to go to South Carolina, folks asked why he would make that move. His answer: "It's hard being everyone's second-favorite team in North Carolina."

Wake needs to cut its losses when it can with Manning. But not sure they would get a top line coach without seriously outbidding better opportunities. (And I say that with respect for a school I admire).

As I recall, Odom said "it's hard not being the "university of"'

Nah, they beat the Cheats once this year. If they beat them in Chapel Hell in a couple of weeks, he gets a lifetime contract.

You forgot A&T....made a movie about them (Drumline's Atlanta A&T was pretty clearly NC A&T).

[sagegrouse]

He also said, in a more reflective moment, after retiring from South Carolina, "A basketball coach needs to move about every seven years." Is this how long Manning has been at Wake?

I know you are joking, but no one is saving his job by beating a UNC team that lost at home to Clemson...

This includes the Clemson coach! Brad Brownell might pull of the incredible feat of breaking the curse in chapel hill, beating two top 5 teams, and still managing to get fired.

[Dr. Rosenrosen]

And UNCW. And ECU. And App State. And Elon. And Gardner Webb. And Campbell. And, and, and... we could go for hours before the cheats make the list.

Is Brad's seat considered 🔥?

[SavDukeGrad]

Is Brad's seat considered 🔥?

I think his seat has been pretty warm for a few years now. Although I have to think that if he finishes this year strong, and gets some COY votes, his seat would have to cool off, considering who he has beaten.

Don't forget your local high schools and middle schools.

[JasonEvans]

Don't forget your local high schools and middle schools.

Oh, I don't think a middle school team could beat the Heels.

[TruBlu]

Oh, I don't think a middle school team could beat the Heels.

Well, MAYBE not on the basketball court. But for SAT scores, go with the middle school teams. In a blowout.

[OldPhiKap]

Oh, I don't think a middle school team could beat the Heels.

UNC could build a big lead before the fourth quarter, I'll give you that.

[BD80]

Oh, I don't think a middle school team could beat the Heels.

In popularity? Probably.


In Spelling, Math, English Composition, Swahili, or African American Studies? Almost certainly.

[devildeac]

Oh, I don't think a middle school team could beat the Heels.

Oh, I totally agree. I meant rooting interests/favorite teams, not who'd win. I shoulda been more clear, I guess.
