Email just came in from Benedict as attached...

Over under on Pal starting a new thread about this or the possible new HC? I kid. I kid.

Yes Virginia! There is a Santa Claus!!! OMG best Christmas gift yet, surpassing even Trump beating the hag.

I gave you a "like" even with your Trump support, which shows how Benedict has brought us all together...

(I voted third party, so we won't fight)

 

[Scoe]

Best Christmas present thank you. I always check ESPN website first thing in the morning this was the last thing I expected.

 

[Scoe]

My only question was what took so long? This isn't a rhetorical question, was Benedict trying to get the money situation sorted out, he has coach in waiting or did he have an end of season sit-down with Diaco and he didnt like what he heard?

 

[TouchdownHusky]

The new HC needs to be an offense guy. Every waking moment needs to be about offensive side of LOS. Let's get points on the board. Do not want a defense guy, or a ground and pound, wear 'em down in the 4th quarter guy. Want games that are 42-40 and someone who can figure out how to put UConn on the plus side of such a score, more often than not.

I've never been happier to have been so wrong!!

Only #UConn would wait till every decent candidate has been hired by other teams to fire their coach and pay a $4 million buyout w/ no plan.

Absolutely, by those who doubted Pres. Herbst's commitment to keeping this university relevant, David Benedict's understanding of the gravity of staying the course, the BOD's recognizing this coaching move was the litmus test of looking out for UConn's long term welfare. In my conversations with several higher ups it was clear that there was a growing knowledge (not just a perception) by too many that we were at a Rubicon moment.
I'm extremely proud of all involved in making this happen. At a more skeptical moment I considered changing my avatar. Not any more!

Shoot ... now I have to look up Rubicon ...

Well, they have probably already got their guy and he will be coaching next weekend. Count on UConn and the other school to have already talked and figured out how to do it gracefully. UConn has a huge stake in making the transition amicable. Regardless of whether or not realignment is 5 or 25 years away, P5 schools will be watching UConn to see if they handle the situation "correctly". Gotta do it with class and adhere to all the norms of the business.

My wife's name is Virginia & she definitely believes.
All that popped into my head as I read the news were M.L.K.'s words, "Free at last, free at last! Thank God Allmighty, I'm free at last..."
