If we get pb senior...will we get Jr?? And Christie? If Collins heads east?? Sure hope so. Would Collins leave for Wake??Is it time to send the limo up to Milwaukee?
I actually think Collins would be excellent at Wake. That is one great job in a basketball crazed area at a program that has fallen on hard times. Heard K is pushing both him and Amaker hard for it which is interesting given it is an ACC jobHow can that be? He is horrible according to many on this board?
If you're Collins, do you take a respectable exit ramp knowing that your seat in Evanston may get warm with another bad season? Or are you wary of taking a job that might not be top-10 in the ACC?

I would be stunned. They just fired a guy who has essentially the same resume as Collins. Won't happen.https://twitter.com/BobbyRader525

If get PBSr, think the chances of landing Jr. jumps w/ the 'Cats being the new fave.
Wake also has MUCH lower academic requirements for recruits than NU. Fact.....Wake has historically had a way better program than NU.
Others will follow Jr., hopefully many others!He has had three losing seasons out of three at UWM ... even if getting his son were a lock, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz's college seasons prove one superstar recruit isn't everything.
Could not won't. He wants the job and bad from my sourcesI would be stunned. They just fired a guy who has essentially the same resume as Collins. Won't happen.
This is wild.Wake has a much better overall history than us, but look at the last 10 seasons:
NU
161-166 overall
62-122 league
1-1 NCAA tournament record
highest league finish: T-5th
Wake
129-187 overall
47-131 league
0-1 NCAA tournament record
highest league finish: T-9th
Watch the transfer portal really light up if this has legs.he should go. the handcuffs at northwestern are stupid.
Wake had a great run in the Dave Odom and Skip Prosser eras. Since then, not so much.This is wild.
Apparently my knowledge of national college basketball stops in, like, 1997.

Because he’s a good coach who did the impossible at the worst basketball program in the P5 with one hand tied behind his back by a dumbass administration. He’s very well respected in coaching circles. Some of you know it alls are hilarious.I can understand why Collins would want the job. But can’t understand why WF would want him.
Can’t imagine this being true. Wake is paying Manning $15M to go away. They’re not doing that to hire a coach who’s resume doesn’t look like an improvement.
Also, Wake fans and boosters have high expectations. It’s a proud basketball school that’s ready to get back to it’s pre-2010 glory. Hiring Collins won’t be met with much enthusiasm or boosters’ dollars. And the latter will be important, if you’re going to pay a $15M buyout during a pandemic when there may not be a college football season this year.
Wait so we have had a stable athletic department now it’s a dumbass administration? I’m confused.Because he’s a good coach who did the impossible at the worst basketball program in the P5 with one hand tied behind his back by a dumbass administration.

Agreed. WF hiring collins would be disastrous. They already don’t like him from his duke days and it’s pretty clear he is not a good coach.This move would make sense for Collins but I'm not sure why Wake Forest would do it.
AD does not equal administration.Wait so we have had a stable athletic department now it’s a dumbass administration? I’m confused.
Is that centered at admissions?AD does not equal administration.
It is centered at a board of trustees who do not want to, or know what it takes to, build a consistently successful program at a P5 level. Yes, this bleeds into admissions decisions, resource allocation, etc.Is that centered at admissions?
Exactly. I’m not commenting on whether he’s a good coach or not. Just saying that perception matters here. Wake has to be able to sell this to boosters and fans. I think the resume Collins has on paper is a tough sell for Wake.This is not a slight to Collins, but at this point in his career, you are right that he would not be the type of expected hire for Wake by fans and boosters. And I say that as a Collins fan.
For my money, this is one that doesn’t make sense for Collins or Wake. It would surprise me.
