Veiled shots at ex-coaches always make me chuckle.

So you are fine with him not signing a contract until the first week of January? What if negotiations break down and we are left at the alter in January?

He is not going to be announced as head coach here and then fly out to Michigan to coach that team.

They all say warm,fuzzy things like that then do what's in they're own best interest's. Its good business not to burn bridges! I remember SU alum and Buffalo Bill's head coach Doug Marrone saying when SU hired him how it was his "dream job" and how everything he had done to that point was aimed at returning to the Cuse and staying !!

He'd sign a contract with UCONN and then Warde and Narduzzi would work something out for the bowl game if it even came up.

I may be over reacting , but I am sick of hearing how all these coaches can do better than taking the UConn job. I realize it probably is just media speculation, because how would they know how the coaches may feel. To quote KO, I want a coach that has ten toes in. Four weeks ago , I thought we needed to automatically clean house and bring new life to this program . TJ has changed my mind to some degree. Would not hate it if he was chosen, but made some significant changes / upgrades to coaching staff. Many of us want a Narduzzi / TJ combo with TJ running the offense. How about have TJ as head coach and pay for a bigtime DC. Also would need to hire an assistant with excellent recruiting background.

As long as he carries a UConn phone to make phone calls to recruits during the time - no issues w/ me!!! Good media relations for UConn. Over under on how many mentions UConn gets during the telecast? Ya just pray there is no blow-out!

Scratch part of that... "Announcers for the MSU-Stanford Rose Bowl on ABC: Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit, Heather Cox."

I was making an Edsall joke. I am not really spending a lot of mental energy on who the next coach will be. No matter what I think, Warde is going to hire the person he thinks is the best candidate that will accept the job. I am pretty sure he is not going to call me before making his final decision.

>>Narduzzi's contract calls for him to pay Michigan State $250,000 if he elects to leave the Spartans for any other position other than as a head coach, provided Dantonio is still the Spartans' head coach at that time. The buyout is intended to cover the costs for Michigan State to hire a replacement, "and shall not be, nor construed to be, a penalty,'' according to the contract. It's a very advantageous position for Narduzzi to be in, having virtually no buyout clause.<<

Where were you forty years ago? I've made a career burning bridges.

I am certainly not liking the public aspect of this situation. Who is leaking the request for interview? Is it Narduzzi's camp looking for "better" options? Is it Dantonio trying to get support for a big raise? Is it Manual making sure people know he did an exhaustive search before hiring TJ.

I don't know what other job Narduzzi would be looking for as he doesn't seem to be on Wake's wish list. Maybe I am just being paranoid, but I don't get warm fuzzies when the coaching search is all over twitter

Has there ever been a coaching search, in the internet era, that wasn't all over the place.

Sources baby, everyone has sources.

take a deep breath man. He can sign with UCONN and still keep his commitment to MSU and the kids he has been with for years. It happens all the time.

You're out of control! Of course we should make a pivotal 5 year decision based off of the next 4 weeks!

Nope, what happens all the time is coaches leave before the bowl game so they can hit the ground running at their new gig.

I think you are both right. Some coaches leave before the bowl game and some don't. A head coach wanting to stay is one thing. A DC is not as important.

If ND or Texas offered Narduzzi the HC job he'd pass on the bowl game. If UConn offers and he accepts...guess what? We'll see him after the bowl game.

He can make a few calls to our commits, who I would think would love, and finish the job in January.
 
.-.
Is there even any doubt left about the fact that Narduzzi is going to be our next coach?
 
If he wants the job and wants to coach the Rose Bowl you wait.

Why?

Because not a single player on the current roster or incoming recruit is going to bolt because the head coach isn't showing up until January.

Absolutely not true. Some coaches feel they have a responsibility to the university and kids they recruited. Hard to hold that against them. Im guessing Warde would be willing to wait 3 weeks for his #1 candidate. Not sure why you take it as such and insult or a reason to pass on your #1 choice.

On the flip side. Someone who is interested in the job won't go out of his way to minimize what UConn has to offer.

If Narduzzi is interested, I get the love for Mich St stuff and "He has other opportunities" crap for negotiating money, but at some point, there has to be a little love for UConn trickled it somewhere.

Apparently Warde was spotted at an airport tonight. I guess the private jet to Atlanta wasn't available.

I swear to God, I feel like a Pavlov, tongue wagging dog. When I see you or Huskymedic have posted, I know it's a tweet that is related to the OP and I click on it hoping to get a treat. :cool:
