Wake Forest hires Steve Forbes

[wtmvol]

Sounds like a great hire for Wake. Forbes was also losing basically his entire team at ETSU so seems like a good time to take the next step.

Sources: Wake Forest, Forbes agree to deal

Hired by Currie

Curious if Jalen johnson will follow or not, plus wake is close to his home town if im not mistaken

Damn good hire by WF! ETSU should hire Tennessee assistant coach Desmond Oliver as their next head basketball coach.

Sounds like they will promote Jason Shay most likely

I guess Currie won't have to get Wolken to do PR for this hire...

Another very good coach.

Good for Coach Shay. He deserves it. I went to HS with the AD at ETSU, so kudos to him, as well.

Solid hire for Wake Forest.

Good ole Danny. Is he still spreading that journalistic integrity over at Gannett and USA Today?

 

[Special Ed]

I think most of us saw this coming when they fired Danny Manning.
Forbes was at the top of the list for likely replacements.

I don't think I saw them hiring Forbes. Not really a Wake Forest follower, but I suppose his name may have come up once Manning was fired. But outside of that, I don't think he was an obvious pick.

They always raved about his skill at scouting other teams when he was w us. Really good x’s and o’s

 

[sport3500]

Forbes will have his hands full coaching against Boeheim, Capel, Hamilton, Coach K and Williams night in and night out.

 

[golfballs]

Forbes exceeded expectations in every year he was at ETSU. Too bad this season got cut short. They had a good shot at winning a tourney game.

ETSU was as good as half the ACC this year

Boeheim, Capel, Hamilton, Coach K and Williams will have their hands full coaching against Steve Forbes.

Great hire

Was the buyout for manning really 15mil?

I heard that and if that’s true that’s insane in today’s current world

Coach Forbes will be like Bruce Pearl at WF.

A pretty good and loyal dude, too. One of those who got bent over by Pearl behind closed doors and left out to dry.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Coach Forbes will be like Bruce Pearl at WF.

Hopefully without unsanctioned bbq gatherings.

Yea, apparently Currie feels he is only owed half at most which is why they made the move...either headed to court or Manning settles.
