Well, he must be related to Woody Allen: he took our money and ran.

Good news team definitely needs new direction. I don't rejoice when a good man gets fired , good guy, bad coach. Here is Benedict 's chance to make his bones, can't screw this up.

You're gonna love this. Chief pretty much called it on the FB board about a week ago.

I got the news via email from UConn Club. I don't often venture over to the football board tho I always get to at least three games a year. What do you all think from hoops eye view? Any way we get a blue chip coach? Is Les Miles that desperate? I can name a bunch of hot assistant head coaches in CBB but not so much football.

Bob D is a good man but he surely had to go.

I think the writing was on the wall weeks ago. Probably right after last game. Not that big of a prediction.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't follow college FB very closely. Especially UConn FB. There are too many variables to explain why this was a surprise, but credit where credit is due. Chief got some new .

Fox Sports: Les Miles a long-shot candidate at UConn

Why not?

 

[dogpause]

Say Yes to Les!

There's more: Wasted TOs, wrong decisions & being outcoached every game, screwy metaphors, love & brotherhood, and, of course, cranberry pants.

I'm not surprised given his record and the direction the team was heading in. I would also not have been surprised if he got one more year though. I see this as Benedict clearly means business and now I'm looking forward to a new coach. I'm also impressed that Benedict does not need/want to hire a search firm. Seems to me that he has a lot of confidence and knows people - which are his responsibilities. I really like this move and like how he handled it so far.

Some liked the cranberry pants.
