Just wonder.... what's UConn's most recent list of potential HC???

I am looking forward to the list of possible names/interview candidates.

 

[RSTuthill]

Please stop with the Holy Cross or Yale talk. There's a greater likelihood that a "never before' HC with a vision and a plan--and a team of assistants already in place will be here than any current HC at an FCS school.

So you are saying that UConn is opting for on the job training?

With this much time to evaluate, I do like the idea of making the HC candidates specify whom they would bring in for staff, if that is possible.

Is there any chance Fickell stays at Cincy? I would think that Cincy would cough up some serious money to keep him and he’s very happy there.

 

[Stinger92860]

It’s only a matter of time before Jason Garrett becomes available. Gentlemen goes into the portal too.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I think Dave Aranda will have first right of refusal.

If they win out they'll make the CFP this year and going to the B12 will give them opportunities going forward.

I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed provided they pay him

I have a hunch somebody is bringing Stoops out of retirement. Don't know if it's LSU or USC but I think he ends up at one of those gigs

He's going P5. He'd be crazy not to

 

[noeynox]

He's going P5. He'd be crazy not to

And he's taking Cincy with him. Big12!

 

[WestHartHusk]

And he's taking Cincy with him. Big12!

Say it with me: the Big 12 is no longer a power football conference.

Printing money…

 

[Vowelguy]

As it turned out Miles deserved to be fired for off the field behavior.
And Chizik's only skill was knowing how to back up a bank trunk at Cam Newton's house.

 

[freescooter]

I don't know if I would rule out any coach from FCS....but I wasn't impressed with the HC or the Yale coach. Especially the Yale coach. Lots of questionable decisions yesterday.

Stop. Please stop.

Unfortunately for Lsu most of the guys they would like to have already make a great deal of money, and live in much nicer places than Baton Rouge. Who would want to work for that organization which fires a guy less than 2 years after he won a national championship and they gave him a ton of money? We're not talking about guys here who have limited earning potential or money.

 

[noeynox]

Yeah, but until they are out of the contract language that says they're no longer P5, they're P5. Big East was BCS until that contract ended and the P5 was created.

 

[Yup!]

Say it with me: the Big 12 is no longer a power football conference.

Says who? you? Yes they lose Texas and Oklahoma, but they’re still better than any G5 conference. Big 12 will still be respected.

I think he would rather go with experience , then a assistant..

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Stop. Please stop.

Stop what? I ruled out two coaches...HC and Yale. So...stop what?

Sorry. Misread your post. I thought you were advocating for those guys.

Does anyone else find this totally ironic to be reading this on a UCONN fan board. We are only a sniff away from Kevin Ollie winning the 2014 NC and we are an organization which fired a guy.

I think both Orgeron and Ollie have the same symptoms. Fully capable to perform part of the requirements of Blue Blood HC in a major NCAA sport; but, not capable to be the Program guy in all components. And LSU will pay the price. I continue to find perplexing the buyout of Ollie - an unpopular opinion whereby other board members yell loudly about violations etc (which, in my historic view, are not hugely extraordinary among hoop programs - hey they paid Kelvin Sampson). The pushback that OIlie was offered a fair resolution makes me a little more sanguine.

Kevin Ollie - my friends - is one story of the last 50 years that is notable. Win a NC. There's no other story like his. And I laugh at posts suggesting it was Shabazz Napier who coached. ok ok ... Orgeron had Joe Burrow.

I know nothing about contracts but how did Orgeron's work? He signed a six year contract in January 2020. He was making an annual salary of around $9 million. Why is he only getting a $16.9 million buyout if he wasn't fired for cause? He is getting a lot of money but I would have expected it to be more. I realize that he failed to report sexual allegations on his watch. Is that the reason why?

Orgeron had Joe Burrow.

He also had Joe Brady as his OC. He and Burrow were a lethal combo for opponents to face.
