Kansas basketball: It’s time for Danny Manning to come home

Kansas basketball alum Danny Manning has officially been fired from his position as the head coach of the Wake Forest basketball team after a five-season stint with the Demon Deacons. Now is the perfect time to bring back the greatest Kansas Jayhawk of all-time as an assistant coach.

Manning was on Bill Self’s staff at Kansas from 2003-2012 where he coached many Kansas greats including Wayne Simien, Darrell Arthur, Cole Aldrich, the Morris twins, Thomas Robinson, and Jeff Withey.

After having immense success at Kansas, Manning took the head coaching job at Tulsa where he guided the Golden Hurricane to a 17-16 record in his first season.
