ParticipantThey’ll jack it up to $2.5M before he gets back from the loo.

ParticipantI don’t know how WF is mucking anything up. The offer is twice what Manning is making at Tulsa. Should they just have offered him $4mill?

ParticipantNegotiations are ongoing. I bet we hear something today. Would be a tremendous outside the box hire.

ParticipantPly… probably ain’t the money… although Tulsa has a ‘new’ contract for Manning to consider…
Something’s not quite right — somewhere elseThis deal should have been “closed” before they GOTT back to the GSO airport…

ParticipantMaybe they could offer Ed’s corpse a job.
04/04/2014 at 9:20 AM #50487Wulfpack
ParticipantIt is being reported this morning that this is a done deal. Awesome hire.

ParticipantConsider this for a moment…
1985 Nolan Richardson leaves Tulsa job… wins 1994 NCAA championship with Arkansas
1995 Tubby Smith leaves Tulsa job… wins 1998 NCAA championship with Kentucky
2000 Bill Self leaves Tulsa job… wins 2008 NCAA championship with Kansas
2014 Danny Manning leaves Tulsa job… wins championship with Wake Forest???
… average time between leaving Tulsa and winning the NC — 7 seasons…
———-
The Staff assembled by Manning and Wellman will speak volumes… especially the first couple of seasons…
———-
Mods… change the title on this topic… if you like…

ParticipantWell, good for WF. I would rather see State get beat by a good WF team in Winston than a scrub team in Winston. Less RPI hit.
04/04/2014 at 11:20 AM #50499bill.onthebeach
Participant^I would rather see us BEAT a GOOD Wake Forest team on anybody’s court…
In theory at least… We should play to the Level of our Competition…
Manning and his Deacs could upset a whole lot of folks in more ways than one…
especially one’s wearing BLUE…Anybody know off hand… what(players) he will have to work with next season… ??

ParticipantSo Danny played for Larry Brown, right? Hmmm! Honed in basketball skills and knowledge of how the “Carolina Way” works…this could get interesting!

ParticipantWake hires Manning. Va Tech hires Buzz Williams. Talk about upgrades in the league right there.
BC hired Jim Christian from Ohio. Don’t know a thing about him.
Gregory better get things going at GT quick, or else.
04/04/2014 at 11:59 AM #50507nav
ParticipantBC hiring Christion = Wellman hiring Buzz. The AD at BC just got lazy in his search for a good coach.

ParticipantRe: the state of the program:
Eight players transferred out during his tenure, and the Demon Deacons have been one of the youngest programs in the country — with only one fourth-year senior in each of the past two years.
Barring any more transfers, Manning will inherit a team with eight players who are either juniors or redshirt juniors — including promising big man Devin Thomas and tempo-setting guard Codi Miller-McIntyre.

KeymasterGood for them. Welcome back to NC, Danny.
04/04/2014 at 2:48 PM #50518bill.onthebeach
ParticipantThanks… Wufpack…
Looks like that alone plus a couple of recruits or transfers ought to put the Deacs above .500 and solidly in the middle of the conference standings…
In other words… it will a tough match up game for the PACK…

ParticipantI just wonder how long before…
Welcome to the ACC – Coach Manning !
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!04/04/2014 at 7:05 PM #50534DrWuffette1day
ParticipantIt’ll be interesting. I hope the big guy does well. He’s got a great demeanor and I think he towers about 10″ over Hess. My money’s on Danny.
