http://CoachingSearch.com has learned that Pat Narduzzi interviewed today in Atlanta with UConn. More on the ticker soon...

Rock n roll time. I wonder if they actually interviewed or started negotiating the contract.

Pete Rousel is not a big fan of UConn fans getting much sleep

Tonight's insomnia session is being sponsored by Crown on the rocks.

so Narduzzi was in Atlanta and Little Rock today? Can we get secondary report

Jets fly really fast.

Obviously Narduzzi has been the highest profile guy in terms of being interviewed. I know there is the ND DC and tOSU OC that have been mentioned.

I have a hard time believing Lembo gets it over Narduzzi unless Narduzzi says no thanks. I guess if Narduzzi is offered and says no it won't be that embarrassing being we are not P5 and Narduzzi is coming off the Broyles award.

I guess I don't know what to make of it. I just don't see someone less than a P5 coordinator getting the job if Narduzzi is off the table.

1 hour 10 minute flight --- Atlanta to Little Rock. The Broyles event was a luncheon.

Seriously pull the trigger Warde......Lets make things happen. And rep the hell out of Narduzzi as the one to make us elite and B1G worthy. Give him big money.

Meanwhile, the pot is stirring in Columbus . . .

A couple interesting tidbits in the article (i.e. the 2 yr commit period to Meyer being over for his assist coaches), but you have to wonder if the horde in Columbus is that clueless about UConn and our HC search. Geesh. BTW, anyone heard anything interesting about Herman lately?

One of the biggest draws to hiring a OSU coordinator is this…

The other interesting aspect to Fickell's future as a head coach would be whether or not he would take defensive line coach Mike Vrabel with him. Only in his third year as a college coach, Vrabel has already proven himself a skilled recruiter and a tremendous teacher. It would be hard to imagine Meyer letting Vrabel leave with how highly he has spoken of him over the last 24 months.

Okay. Now were talking.

Saw Fickell interest/speculation in Bowling Green (or vice versa) reports earlier today...

 

[amory]

Have we heard a peep from Burton in all this?

Thats a good question. He was right all along about PP.

Maybe silence is a good thing from him.

Good catch. Hire Herman as HC and we could get a great twofer in the process. Not sure he would do that, though, and risk burning relationships at tOSU.

Source told me today that UConn pres. Susan Herbst would like a coach from top 25 program. I say hire the "best" coach for UConn.

I'd like this report even more if PN flew to ATL after the awards luncheon in Little Rock. Personally, I much prefer afternoon business meetings vs early morning ones because if things go well in the business meeting, deals can often be consummated during a more personal and relaxed dinner meeting.

That means Saban's in play - open up the wallets CT, he's going to highest bidder.....

Why do I get the feeling that this is something that a president says after she knows she's got someone from the top25 and not before. Is Michigan State ranked?

I can picture Narduzzi walking in, with plaque or trophy (whatever he gets) and says "I didn't want to leave this in the car...can I put it on the table?"

Signing him probably went up 5-10% in cost.

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

If it's not Narduzzi then I want Weist on a short contract and we can try again if it doesn't work out.

Lembo seems like a pricey risk whereas Weist would at least be a cheap one.

But what price will this program pay in the meantime?? We'll have 25 people at The Rent next season. Look at this year... 0-9 or not, attendance has been hurt by what PP and GDL did or didn't do here. We need someone fresh to re-build and get fans re-engaged in this thing!

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

Read that on WM's radio interview on Saturday that hes already addressed that (instead of just ignoring our largest donor like Hathaway did) and spoke with Burton about the search and his intentions. Said he also spoke with other donors for the program about it. Hopefully he siad "I'm getting NARDUZZI!" and Burton siad "Let me know what you need... here's a blank check".

I thought she had no interest in sports?

 

[noeynox]

This hire needs to be like a vitamin b shot to this fanbase. I'm sure Warde knows what is at stake in terms of season ticket holders and overall buzz. Were coming off of whatever is the opposite of buzz or buzzkill with P. Oh boy, took a break for a little while hoping the hire was already done.....

 

[CTMike]

I really hope this Saban crap isn't the start of Lucy pulling the football away from us.

Kevin was confused. She said she wanted a B1G coach
