Wake Forest has parted ways with basketball coach Danny Manning after six seasons, sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
Manning never finished above .500 in the ACC under Manning, who had a 14-42 conference record over the past three seasons. Last season, the Demon Deacons went 13-18 overall and 6-14 in the ACC, finishing in a tie for last in the conference standings.
Wake Forest finished 12th or worse in the league in five of Manning’s six seasons.
Overall, Manning went 78-111 in his six seasons in Winston-Salem and 30-80 in conference play.
The Demon Deacons made one postseason appearance under Manning, losing in the First Four in 2017.
Manning, who played for 15 seasons in the NBA after a legendary college career at Kansas, spent six seasons as an assistant coach with the Jayhawks before taking over as the head coach of Tulsa for two seasons.
After leading the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA tournament in 2014, Manning was hired by Wake Forest to replace Jeff Bzdelik.
