Calhoun to officially take St. Joe's job

[WrenchFan69]

Good for everyone involved. I'll go catch some games.

He'll be an advisor. Not a HC.

Goodman jumping the gun trying to break the news.

Interesting. Glen Miller has to be the most likely candidate for HC then right?

 

[Ts5034]

Jeff Goodnan...wrong again.

 

[mauconnfan]

Coach Glen Miller

 

[CL82]

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Probably, "meh."

 

[gampelcrazies]

Am I the only one who doesn't like this?

 

[huskiesnyc]

I hope he can maintain an advisory role and an office here. He's been hot on the recruiting trail!

 

[dogpause]

There goes Pitino's only hope for a job.

I hear a guy named Chuck Taylor has been snooping around with a prototype of a canvas hi-top sneaker. Comes in white and black. I hope JC fully vets the guy.

What your feeling is the discomfort of seeing a legacy diluted.

Considering Jim Calhoun Jr. was the CEO of Converse until last year I'm pretty sure Jim Calhoun Sr. knows everything there is to know about Chuck Taylor and the brand.

What on earth are you talking about?

 

[Robertelamin]

How does this dilute his legacy?

Ex-UConn coach Calhoun takes over D-III team

Confirms he is bringing in Glen Miller as well. Love this move.

Ha. A mini-UConn we can follow.

 

[LIuconn]

Good for them. At that age, working with friends and positively impacting young kids' lives - what could be better?

 

[huskypantz]

Rumor has it he's going to flip them from Adidas to Nike as his first move.

 

[UConnFanMSM]

....Hope UConn will decrease the amount of money they pay him to be an "advisor" if he'll be spending so much time at St. Joseph's.

 

[whaler11]

Is Debbie Baer still there?

 

[UCDaveD]

I have mixed feeling about this, but they're due to my own selfishness of not wanting JC to be associated with another program.

 

[Northbound]

Oddly enough there was a Chuck Taylor who played for UCONN as a walk in from New Canaan I’m going to guess somewhere between the years of 83-86. I can’t really remember.

 

[BugsyCT]

I like this better than him working for ESPN.

And his legacy with us is already cemented.

 

[superjohn]

I have mixed feeling about this, but they're due to my own selfishness of not wanting JC to be associated with another program.

He's helping start a D3 program at a tiny former women's school in his home state because he's bored and still wants to teach, he's not going to coach at Syracuse.

From Rothstein:

"He will remain as an ambassador for UConn during the upcoming year."

Maybe that'll help.
