Be a legend David Benedict- Go get Gus Malzhan

[Drew]

Be a hero. Do it.

 

[Ts5034]

That would be a legendary move. What are the realistic odds Malzahn would actually want to coach at UConn? 500-1?

 

[CTBasketball]

Tell him we have good pizza.

You forgot quite a few zeros.

 

[gampelcrazies]

You forgot quite a few zeros.

So you're telling me there's a chance

 

[UCSouth]

So you're telling me there's a chance

Yes I am

 

[SubbaBub]

So having a coach for a year or two who doesn't want to be here is the dream for some here?

Nevermind he'll have a choice of a dozen jobs better than UConn. Hey, Urban Meyer is available.

This has nothing to do with Randy.

 

[Bezzz]

I'm calling it. Rhett Lashlee to Auburn.

 

[mike012]

Gus Malzhans agent called and said. Wait you play football?

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Smh

 

[Husky68]

Gus Malzhans agent called and said. Wait you play football?

We don't play football, we practice football.

 

[gtcam]

We don't play football, we practice football.

at least they practice - mens basketball doesn't even do that lately

Well not this year but....

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Anybody going to kick in to sweeten the asst coaches salary pool?

 

[Chin Diesel]

As a reminder, Malzahn went 68-35 in his time at Auburn, never had a losing season and made it to the BCS championship game.

And still got fired. At UConn that gets the field at the Rent named after you, a statue and street named after you.

He even has three wins against St. Nick.

Problem is he has Alabama, LSU and now it looks like Jimbo has A&M on track. With Kiffin at Ole Miss and Leach at Miss St. that left Arkansas as the only gimme win in the SEC West for the next few years.

And they'll have the $21M to buy him out.

UConn is playing a different sport than much of FBS football.

 

[Adios]

Auburn fans are clearly traumatized by UCF's 2017 championship claim.

Don't forget Muschamp gets 20 mil. These buyouts are ridiculous transfers of wealth over failure. Where else do you get rewarded like this for failure?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

For the love make sure Randy’s office is empty before you pick up the phone

I can throw in a few hundred if I don't buy my family Christmas presents. I'll just tell them their Christmas present will be a winning football team.

Recruiting in the Sec vs an indy Uconn is an entirely different animal. He'd never succeed in this situation.

UConn has top level facilities and is a top 25 public university. The only thing UConn doesn't have is the lax admission standards that other schools have for recruiting and the dollars to pay assistants. I bet if UConn either paid the assistants so that they'd stay or the school recruited like other top schools do, the on field product would be a lot better. I mean look at what Schiano did in one year at Rutgers.

The admission standards for athletes is not much higher than other schools. It's a convenient excuse for coaches who end up with a weak recruiting class due to their own struggles or the lack of a winning culture at UConn football. You are correct about the money. Potential coaches know that the state is hurting financially and support for the program looks bleak.

Think Les Miles at KU. Could work in time but there are no sure things.
