14. Danny Manning (Wake Forest)

Career record: 62-67 (48.1%)
Record at Wake Forest: 24-38 (38.7%)
NCAA Tournament appearances: 1
Final Fours: 0
National Championships: 0

Danny Manning had a successful two-year run at Tulsa, winning more than 56 percent of his games and making an NCAA Tournament appearance.

He came to Wake Forest in hopes of turning around a program that had fallen on tough times in recent years. Life in the ACC hasn’t been too kind to Manning though.

In his first two seasons at Wake, he’s recorded a 24-38 record and only seven conference wins. This season doesn’t project to be a whole lot better for Manning and the Demon Deacons.

Things really can’t get much worse in Winston-Salem, but what’s the chance that they get any better in the short-term?
