Any word on a new HC @ UConn yet?

He is taking a $1 million pay cut or is UConn increasing head football coach salary?
Mullen is making $3.5 million. Mora was increased to $2.5 million last year. Chief mentioned that another increase was negotiated before Mora left but it stalled with Radenka Maric. So possibly there will be more money.
 
The reason why we haven’t heard anything is that the guys we are talking to have jobs currently and are likely still coaching.

It’s also smaller group of people involved compared to other schools.

People need to chill and let Dave cook.
But aren't guys with jobs that are still coaching committing to their new gigs right now? USF (who lost their coach after we lost ours) just hired the Ohio State OC who is still coaching in the playoffs.

So would not give Mora increase but Radenka will give Mullen $1 million increase? Why are we even discussing this. I think the next head coach is one of the two FCS coaches still in the playoffs.

Duh. If they are employed then you don’t want anything out until the deal is signed. It’s sensitive.

The Tulane guy and Chesney are still coaching where they are for now too.
 
The second quote is entirely defensible. You don't want to join a power conference if it's going to hemorrhage you money. Look at Rutgirls, they have how much in debt due to not getting full payouts for how many years?
Only Rutgers could mismanage getting into one of the two premier conferences. They needed to dramatically upgrade facilities, and still do, and borrowed against future payouts. That put them in a hole that they are still working to dig their way out of.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t hear anything until there is about to be an official announcement.
Agree, yet I am reflexively checking the football board. I suspect the next time we hear anything it will be the listing of the position, which will lead people to parsing the qualifications to determine who the candidate is.

It’s still a mystery to me why UNVL chose to stay in the MWC versus the PAC.
I read it was a financial issue where they couldn’t handle the buyout. There may have been a political issue to about Nevada not getting an invite. They are apparently having major money issues. There was even a rumor that they are negotiating with their coach over salary, though I doubt that is true.

He's in his conference championship game. I guaranty you we're not talking to him if we're not willing to match his salary. Whether we are talking to him, however, I have no idea. I still doubt it.

Obviously we go through his agent first and since he is preoccupied with a Ship game this is why the progression is slow. It’s probably 99% that the pace is being affected by something other than Mullen.

Yeah, I get that we don't want anything out before the deal is done, but the question is why are we not getting the deal done??

Long story short, there is process that is still at play, and while we wait for said processing of possible candidates (who may or may not have been mentioned), we are left to wonder other truly pressing questions like does Joanie really love Chachi and if a BCU football fan cries in the woods, does anybody really care if there's a sound?
 
If Sammis is a good recruiter I feel like they should strongly consider promoting him
I’ve said since the outset that I want a guy with NFL experience that he can sell to kids as leverage to get to the League.

Sammis has put linemen into the NFL every year he’s been here. I would say I would consider him an exception in my eyes.

Still don’t think he’s my top choice, but I wouldn’t be opposed. I definitely have questions about him as a “CEO,” and only Dave can measure that, but we could certainly do worse.

There is a BCU football fan? The things you learn on the Boneyard!

The Boneyard’s general consensus is we cant screw this up.

You can have slower and right decision or fast and wrong decision. You can’t have both.
Spot on mate. I learned this phrase a long time ago and love it: accuracy is speed. AD David Benedict takes his time (but not tooooo long) and gets this hire right, and we can breathe a little easier until the next losing streak. He rushes it and picks a total nutjob, and we're more cooked than the turkey in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

IF a BC football fans cries in the woods? If there were any BC football fans they would be crying all the time, so the only question would be if they ever go into the woods.

Well, if Hank is the prime example, they just come over & spew garbage on the "Yard...
