Yep and let NC take Vince!
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
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
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".
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:
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?
About what though? Dickert isn't a bigger name than White. Neither are huge names in coaching, but it's a puzzling hire for several reasons.
Washington St. isn't really a mid-major but I don’t know if this a great hire anyway. No ties to the South that I can see.
And this is precisely why White should have been in contention for the job. There is no obvious fit to the hire they made. No connections to the South or the east coast. NONE. The closest he has ever come to coaching in North Carolina was a 1-year stint at Southeast Missouri St.
How are they not a mid major? They went 15-16/9-13 under him when they were in the PAC12 and they went 8-4 under him when they played a MWC schedule. They are now 100% a mid-major now. They are not in any of the Power 4 conferences.
Totally understand we aren't talking about Ohio State here. My point is, if you're going to hire a coach from a G5 school, there are a lot better options than him imo. I would have gone after a guy like Jamey Chadwell. Deep roots in the south (which the Wazoo guy doesn't have) and success at multiple levels.
Think Chadwell may have some NCAA baggage altho nowadays guys wear it as a badge of courage.
Not sure territorial connections are key anymore in the modern era.
Because they're still major state school with accompanying resources and a power school history. They were left out of a game of musical chairs, so they're now technically midmajor, which is not "really" a midmajor. Did Dickert take a pay cut when they left the P4?
It doesn’t matter what resources they had before. They will longer have those resources because they won’t have a TV deal. They are basically Colorado State now.
