I can’t wait to go through all the phases: unrealistic expectations, reality, depression, and acceptance
No matter how it played out, Bronco was an absolute home run last time around. Could not have asked for a better guy for where the program was. I don't see us being able to do better this time around, particularly at this stage of the carousel.
From his presser: In reality: We promised him a bunch of facilities upgrades and haven't been able to deliver them. I am sure that doesn't make his job any easier.
Bronco had his brain broken by an interim coach. weird timing, though, but Bronco was always a weird dude. this reeks of him getting a vision and learning it was time to move on. really going to be difficult for UVA to make a jump over what he put in there, at the very least they quit being an easy out for most teams like they were under London. they are going to be white-hot ass next year when Armstrong, I'm assuming, transfers.
Their QB getting injured screwed them in 1991 there is no reason they couldnt get dirty like UNC and make things fun
should’ve in ‘90 but choked massively against Ga Tech, then lost Shawn Moore a game later & fell apart.
Our 247 mod said something a week or so ago that “UVA people were pushing hard for Poindexter” so this doesn’t surprise me at all
Heard this was in the works a couple days ago. He refused to entertain any changes to his staff. (They came with him from BYU, are LDS). This isn’t the job it should be. Way behind in terms of facilities with a lot of issues fundraising. Poindexter is betting favorite IMO
my understanding is Bronco basically decided to do this out of the blue today which megafucks their new AD because they are so far behind in the carousel right now.
She’s not that new, she’s hired our womens basketball coach and so far that is working out great. The program is in great shape and is on an upward trajectory and the coach shows up on time for all the games. Do not fact check this.
Wake got spooked into extending him so he's there for some time I'd imagine (he deserves a raise/extension but they absolutely did it during the carousel because schools like VT were poking around). Also, UVA and WF are different programs, I don't think their fanbase would tolerate Clawson's tortoise vs hare style of coaching, Wake is the perfect place for him.
too loyal was a complaint from BYU fans when he left. he never fired any coaches there, except for Anae, and he hired Anae again when he came to UVA.
I know I've heard him in interviews and the things he loves about Wake seem to be more so at VA. IDK nor really care, just seems like a good fit and should be given a call
I feel bad for the new coach Has to play Bert on the road in game 2. Will scare away many candidates.
Wake quite obviously extended Clawson a week or so ago because he was being named prominently in the carousel. that's the only reason any team extends a coach at this point of the year is to stave off would-be suitors. like I said, Clawson deserves the raise and extension but Wake very clearly had to do it right then and there for a reason.
I think they were going to extend him because he went 10-2 and won the division, moreso than Virginia Tech expressed interest. Clawson was always going to be extended.
