Benedict can't stay silent after this

[politics]

You'd think somebody in the Horde might try to give him a call this afternoon or tomorrow

 

[Skiblets]

Agreed

 

[junglehusky]

Doesn't matter what he says now. It matters what he does in December.

 

[mdkhusky]

Oh my god. You guys are so stupid. We don't have 5 million dollars

 

[Stainmaster]

Oh my god. You guys are so stupid. We don't have 5 million dollars

If Benedict wants Diaco out, he'll find 5 million.

 

[mdkhusky]

No he won't you can't spend money you don't have. Unless you yourself want to pay

 

[Stainmaster]

Part of his job description is literally raising funds and getting donors to give gifts.

 

[Caronimo]

Are any of the decent players on the team Diaco's recruits?

 

[Uconnalliance]

After this loss I can hear the screaming

Benedict's First Big Move At UConn: Extending Diaco's Contract Through 2020

Mayala was decent pre-injury. Definitely Levenberry.

That no longer matters. We can't afford not to get rid of him. The financial losses while we lose fanbase in droves will easily well exceed 5 million in the long run. Spend the dollars now and maybe you can salvage some portion of the fanbase in the near term. Leave this guy in place for another year and there's no longer any FB program left to save, even if we wanted to.

3.4 million is looking more and more likely at the very least a big coaching change on both sides of the ball

Who would have ever thought that Benedict would prove to be another rock star!!

No.

Prove me wrong, guys. Prove me wrong!

Paging Mr. Burton, Mr. Robert Burton....

Assistant coaches pay. That's where our money needs to go. We have a $72M AD budget but still insist on paying our football assistant coaches minimum wage. You get what you pay for.

That was a problem under JH that Randy openly spoke about. Regardless of what Warde did wrong he vastly improved the assistant salaries. Several of Wacky Bob's assistants left long term jobs at established programs with a good salary. I do not think they would have followed him here for a pay cut.
Assistant coaches pay is not the problem. His iron fisted control over everything renders quality assistants with their hands tied. I am sure you will see just as last year someone moved on, this on his own a few more will also at the end of this fiasco of a season. Here's a link for the bean counters.

Do it Dec. 31.

OMG @MattMang23 is actually Diaco!

The prob is Benedict/Herbst bet money they didn't have by agreeing to this stupid buyout

 

[huskyblooz]

Benedicts Twitter page has been pretty silent since the Maine game.

 

[J187Money]

Exactly. We don't know what happens behind the scenes. I'm not interested in BY math about what is feasible or what pays for itself. But is his job to fix this.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Does anyone really think Benedict is going to fire a coach less than a year after signing him to an extension?

not gonna happen.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Mayala was decent pre-injury. Definitely Levenberry.

Also Peart seems like he's gonna be very good in coming years
