Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3400527, member: 1414"] I actually think they wouldn't have fired him if they couldn't fire him for cause. He would have been back until they got the total buyout down. Probably two years, at least one. In the wake of paying Diaco I don't think UConn was willing to give the AD the money. Could they have? [U]Of course[/U]. I think it's the same reason Edsall is here on a half price contract. It's a willingness to pay rather than ability to pay issue. I'm not close to CT politics, but it probably plays a role. Now we have the payout to the AAC as well. Once that comes down, and we see an uptick (hopefully) in ticket revenue and other AD revenue, I think they'll look for a new football coach at full price or at least fund the assistant positions properly. I suspect that they will be happy to get Geno's pay off the books and his successor will make a lot less. [/QUOTE]
