UNC Basketball: Former Tar Heel in line for Wake Forest coaching job?

Wake Forest fired head basketball coach Danny Manning after six seasons, the school announced on Saturday morning.

The Demon Deacons finished the 2019-20 season with a 13-18 record overall, and a 6-14 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The former Kansas Jayhawk player and coach compiled a 78-111 record overall after taking the job in 2014. Manning’s Demon Deacons never finished the ACC season with a record above .500, and went just 30-80 against conference opponents during his tenure.

Now, without a head coach and the 2020-21 season quickly approaching, Wake Forest will begin its search for a new head coach.
