Getting destroyed by PSU. Manning is in his 6th year there and has 1 winning season. Back to back 11-20 years. How long before they pull the plug there? Hopefully an ACC W for Pitt in January.
 
Was at the game behind the Wake bench. Not sure he coaches to be honest. No control over the team. Total lack of focus and energy.

I never thought I’d see Chambers out coach someone.
 
He has a huge buyout through 2024-5 they don’t want to pay so he may be around for 1 more year
 
He will he gone before the end of the season. I posted that before the season and that they will target Capel, who was a ballboy there when his dad coached there. I don't think he'd take it. Just saying that he will be on their short list.

Correct. Was going to post the same thing. He is too expensive for a school like Wake to let go.

My first thought too. I hate when I agree with you.
 
Couldn’t see JC making a lateral move in the conference . Why start over ?

He wouldn't. But that doesn't mean Wake wouldnt try. They'd be pretty stupid to not at least reach out, wouldn't they? And if you're Capel, you listen and then use it for a raise. That's how this works.

I wouldn’t see that either unless he’s dying to get back to NC and is not liking life in Pittsburgh...but that’s not a job I’d bolt to. But I could certainly see Wake sniffing around and having him on a short list.

If they’re going to move on from Manning they either need a “splash hire “ or find an inexpensive alternative . I’m sure Pitt has a nice buyout clause that wouldn’t be waived plus the balance due Manning makes that an awfully expensive switch . Not going to happen .

You mean our AD wouldn't waive a buyout clause to make it easier for our coach to leave?

This will be yet another SMF prediction gone wrong. He will be there coach for 2020-2021 unless a booster ponies up the buyout $$$.

Even the hot seat report thinks Pat Chambers is in more trouble than Manning.

I don't believe either Manning or Chambers is gone after this year. I don't think Wake will buy out Manning and Chambers is going to make the NCAA tourney this year, so he won't get fired.

Chambers making the NCAAT is almost a worst-case scenario for PSU. Its eerily similar to DeChellis in 2011. Chambers may make the tourney with an old team without much underclass talent just like DeChellis. If he makes it this year, he probably doesn't make it again for another 3-4 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see him bolt for a lower job if he makes it like DeChellis because he could be fired next year if he makes the NCAAT this year and goes out early.

And Manning will definitely be fired if he finishes near the bottom of the ACC
