Agree and if she did not the job would. He could not survive his own intensity at his age. He got out for a reason and his health improved, I think he realizes his place on the planet is just fine as it is.

If true then Florida is my second favorite team.Love the man for what he did for uuconn

I agree would be a good fit. Just hold the basketball team to the same academic standards football is held to - have a campus friendly police force to cover up any off court BS - good looking bimbos for recruits visits and let Calhoun work his basketball magic.

Was kinda hoping there was something here but i guess not. We shall see.

Honestly, I have a great image of Calhoun as a UCONN man through and through. Seeing him again just wouldn't be the same.

That reminds me of the words spoken by the late, great Bo Schembechler, when he was the AD at Michigan, and Bill Frieder announced he was leaving to take the Arizona State job before the season had ended.

"A Michigan man will coach a Michigan team." Or, in this case, a UCONN man will not coach a Florida team.

It's comical that people entertain these Calhoun rumors when they surface.
 
Lol at the idea of anyone other than us even considering him, and that he'd coach again after leaving his baby.

Have you ever tried living with a coaching lifer after retirement?? She may kill him if he doesn't take a job.

I would hate to see him somewhere else, but I would be happy for him at the same time. And hell, half the people in Connecticut eventually move to Florida...why wouldn't Coach?
 
A one year gig without recruiting and one more crack at the NCAA dance? Why not. Go get it, Jimmy!

If JC wants to coach again, I agree that his best bet would be to coach some country's national team. It would fit his skill set and wouldn't be all consuming. (h/t to Pudge)
 
My son's Church league team needs a coach. But "hit him you M'fer" won't fly there.
 
Do not go gentle into that good night......

Take the job Jim .

I would love to see Jim go to Florida for 3 years. I think they should bring in a young new coach as his assistant (like Ollie) who will have those 3 years to learn under Calhoun and take over the Head Coach position.

Just seeing Jim coach again would be very exciting, he is the reason I became a UConn fan.

I think Calhoun should take a job in the B1G and then work non stop to get us in the league.

IDK, Chris Mortenson still has a job, and somebody from the NFL uses him like a pawn with bad leaks

Lol! Chris Mortenson. I think the NFL was thinking of him when they decided to name the last player drafted "Mr. Irrelevent"
