Brimah working out with Miller

Only on the Boneyard would someone rather be Glenn Miller than Kevin Ollie from a financial standpoint.

Uh, one person is jobless likes to spend a lot of money and is divorced. The other has a job and is still married. Remind me again who you’d rather be?

"From a financial standpoint". KO is likely worth at least $3M (and I'm being very conservative - it's proly 3x that) and if he wants to could likely have a 15+ year career as an NBA assistant and maybe get a chance as a head coach. He may have spent a lot of money but assuming he did it's relative to his earnings and you have no idea what he currently spends.

The NPV of his NBA pension is at least $20M (I have no idea how the players association runs the pension plan so again I'm being conservative).

And yes, he's not working now b/c he has multiple reasons not to.

GM is not unemployed you are correct good for him. But no matter employed or unemployed he's a rat. No other way around that don't care if it was injustice to KO but in total to UConn too. Rat period!

Yes, but ironically and perhaps unintentionally, he may very well have sealed Ollie's fate on the 10.7 million buyout, which may ultimately save the school all or most of that amount. He may have been motivated to hurt the school, but in reality he helped UCONN.

Agree that this is the big issue with his testimony. Not sure if it was a parting shot at KO or if he was too unsophisticated to avoid that answer.
Expand ...
Probably some of both. Chief thinks it was at root a parting shot, but GM lacked the long game strategic thinking to understand how it reflects on him or his career.
GM’s homeys are bragging he has a D1 assistant’s job in pocket. If so, this will be an opportunity for Calhoun to upgrade his staff or hire the head coach(?) after getting GM back on his feet. As you know, Chief has always questioned what the end game is there?

The facts are that a big that worked with GM trusts him enough to go back to him but an internet poster thinks that Brimah doesn’t know what’s best for his career. Keep boneyarding. GM will get a coaching job before Ollie gets another gig. Oh wait... GM isn’t unemployed now.
Expand ...

To be fair, he did get the job through Jim Calhoun. Regardless of his motives, some may see him as a guy not to be trusted. If you have skeletons in your closet, you aren't going to seek an archaeologist.

Seriously. Does that even cover alimony?

Not Stephanie's.

Stephanie Ollie, 40, who filed for the divorce from her husband nine months ago, will receive $33,200 per month in alimony for seven years and $1,800 in child support. The couple has a 14-year-old-daughter and a 19-year-old son.

The agreement also provides that while Kevin Ollie will retain an undisclosed number of separate and joint financial accounts, Stephanie Ollie, a nurse, will receive $2.5 million in compensation to be paid in four installments over the next 18 months and $2,000 from Bank of America checking and savings account. She will also receive an additional $350,000 lump sum alimony/property distribution award to be paid over a 42-month period, the agreement states. In exchange for waiving claims to her husband's current assets or potential income, according to the agreement, she will also receive another $240,000 by May 15, 2019.

Uh what about smearing your HOF mentor and the guy who got you your coaching gig in the media? Maybe you want to rethink that whole "he's not a rat" thing. Just saying.

Except that, Ollie was employed to the tune of $2.8M / yr for almost 3 years after the settlement which means the $2M has likely been paid and there's another $2M to go roughly mostly in alimony. Alimony which will likely now be reduced to reflect current / future income.

The idea that's he's broke and spent all his money on oysters is unfounded.

He did sell his Glastonbury house for $2.5M.

I meant why was GM fired? Wasn’t he one year away from being a 20 year state employee and the pension that goes along with it?

Interesting set of values you have there Chef...KO burns everything in his sight in pursuit of $. He dumps and drags JC into this and uses him as exhibit A in spite of the fact that, if not for JC, he wouldn’t BE a coach.

GM tells the truth (even if it’s just his truth) to the NCAA. Not to mention how KO dismissed his loyalty to UConn hoops by firing him without any notice/consideration.

But you go Chef.

Please re-read the thread - I already clarified my statement. It was in a very narrow context. I should have communicated my thoughts more effectively.
When KO’s team filed the last batch of motions and FOI requests - Chief initiated a very popular thread about how he was done with KO - so you are definitely not breaking new ground here.

Here it is dated 2/28/2019. So you are two months late to the party. 27 Likes on the opening post and 165 responses prior to being locked.

Chief keeps it real! KO, you became a poor coach and even worse at program management, as whatever issues or behaviors you were dealing with in your personal life seemed to overwhelm everything else. Generally, Chief and others have respected your personal privacy but you apparently don’t have...

I also posted in it. Something about lifting your "gag order" because you had a tantrum. I remember it. Just found it funny that you referred to it as very popular.
 
Maybe a dumb question (as most of mine are) but where are we at this point if Miller never said anything?
