Brad White and Wake Forest

[PopesReignOverCardinals]

Dave Clawson just resigned as the head coach at Wake Forest. This is Brad White's alma mater, and he's probably at the top of their list to succeed Clawson.

I like White. I'm afraid if he wants an P4 hc job, even Wake Forest, he needs to move to a bigger school as dc or slum at the worst G5 first.

Please WF, take White off our hands. Let’s start this house cleaning.

Yep and let NC take Vince!

From reading their 247 board sounds like White may be on their short list.

That is if their other options fall through. I don’t know if he would want that job even if it his Alma Mater. Especially if the ACC is picked apart like the transfer portal and the bigger teams jump to the SEC and Big10

Yep and let NC take Vince!

Looks like Vince is not getting offered that job. Doubt white gets offered this one. Oh well…….

After the Clemson bowl game last year I was done with Brad and Stoops! That was a complete choke on those two’s part!

We lost like our top four d backs by the end of that game. Just ran out of bodies.

Name them please. None of the names that I have seen make more sense specifically for Wake and that prospective coach than White does.

Head coach of Toledo
Head coach of Air Force
Head coach of Liberty
Head coach of James Madison
Neal Brown

Head coach of Washington State
Garrett Riley, Offensive coordinator at Clemson

These titles aren't names. Not even naming them says all we need to know. But I do see this list came from one guy on Athlon Sports, who also included Brad White as one of his "potential 10".

Neal Brown: Really? I like him as a person and all, but he's not the right hire when he was just fired at WVU.

Garrett Riley: He's only 35. I don't know what makes him a bigger name or better hire for Wake Forest than an alum with 5-years of experience as an SEC coordinator?

Wake Forest is a program that values stability over the coach who wants a stepping stone. Where is the "fit" for anybody other than Brad White? That would probably be his forever job if he had any success.

Wake Forest hiring Washington St head coach.

He had a losing record with Cam Ward as his QB. Oh well.

 

[truebluewildcat]

Was wondering when the WKU guy and Wash St were going to start pinging on radars.

Good hire by Wake.

Would keep an eye on him. If he gets them to bowl caliber or better, he's going to be a guy to look at. Same for WKU dude. I suspect he's going to get some more calls, if he does well at his next stop, go ahead and get his contact information as well for the rolodex.

Also, once again, the legend of Stoops and staff greatly overexaggerated.

This is where it should be noted that Dickert is Currie’s first football coach hire at Wake Forest. He started at his alma mater in spring of 2019; in his previous athletics director role, he was fired at Tennessee amid a publicly disastrous football coaching search.

When he was fired from the post at Tennessee, he was reportedly lining up then-Washington State coach Mike Leach to be the Vols’ next coach.

Lol, I forgot that he was the guy behind the Tennessee debacle.

LOL, get pissed if a UK coach is considered, get pissed if coach not hired.

I disagree that it was a good hire. If you're going to hire a guy from a mid-major, you might as well get one of the better ones. This dude just ended his season with 3 straight losses:

5-7 New Mexico State
5-7 Oregon State
3-9 Wyoming

Just a weird hire imo.

see how real teams in the SEC treat ADs for mistakes in the football program. UK could learn something but they won’t

I wonder if they share the same agent?

Texas A&M fans were calling this out around the Stoops saga last year: When there's smoke, follow the agents
