My recollection is JC was more like any proud father proud of the success of their child. Do you have a reference because that certainly would have been thread worthy. The reality of the situation even if he was or wasn’t a hand picked successor it only got him a interim contract. I suspect KO was not Warde Manuals first choice as I think he wanted to make a break from Calhoun.. The cultural difference between Ann Arbor and South Boston is pretty significant. When the predicted disaster of 2012-13 never occurred , Warde was stuck with Ollie . I can’t even imagine the outcry of not extended KO late in the 2013 season. The interim job killed a second recruiting cycle . Signing him for three years worked out well for him as the 2014 NC certainly didn’t hurt his chances for his dream job. As most UConn fans are aware George Blaney stayed on for that year but left at the end of the season but many are probably not aware that when he finally decided it was time to move on He felt it was without reservation “ That the program was in great hands with Ollie” who he referred to as a superstar So either these guys are the biggest bunch of liars around or some on the board are trying their hand at revisionist history.
