75% In ... and There IS a Need For a Poll

Let's say we finished 5-7, this year. Still sending RE packing? We beat Wagner and UMass. And if Jack Zergiotis was a bit more on target anybody dispute we would have beaten Illinois and Houston? That makes us now 4-5 heading to Cincy (L) with ECU (W) and Temple (L) left. Edsall isn't going anywhere .

If Steven Krajewski was put in against Wagner (obviously injuries aside) you dispute that would be more likely to be 4-5 heading into Cincy than having "the IT" kid who can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pass come in against Illinois or the transfer starting against Wagner. HCRE2.0 is the architect of this 6 win tenure and there is more reason to that than lack of talent.
There are legitimate football accomplishment reasons that HCREDreamJob1.0 was fired and HCRE2.0 should likewise be fired. I'd prefer that the latter be before he starts his 5th season unlike with the Terps. but to be realistic will accept any time up to and including just let his contract run out (hard to recruit past end of 2019 without renewal and impossible if not renewed by end of 2020 unless have assistant coach as head coach in waiting).
In 15 years of coaching in the BE, ACC and AAC HCRE has 2 (that's 1+1 = 2) winning league seasons (and only 2 break even seasons). That's the guy who is going to turn this around?

He'll be fired when the Clemson check processes.

Lets compare this reported income to the P5s pools of monies earmarked for the Athletic Departments
Saying that UConn has annual income of $1 billion is one thing but what about losses/expenses
Does UConn net $1 billion?

Lol, it's kind of tough to net your income, right? The increase in net position for 2018 was @$72M, IIRC. Keep in mind that increase happened in a year that state funding had been decreased @$30M and in the middle of major capital outlays in the athletic village (baseball/soccer/softball project.)

Feel free to do the work for the the comparisons with other ADs. There is a good resource for it, probably put out by the NCAA. I haven't looked at it for a while, but the thing I found most notable was that UConn's AD administrative expense is above the average amount for P5 programs. That's a red flag for inefficiency.

Back to the core point, anyone who says UConn is "broke" is woefully uniformed.
