Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2206412, member: 1526"] And I haven't seen much here regarding suggested replacements for Ollie, assuming he does get fired at the end of next season or sooner, for whatever reason(s). He's getting three million a year, and presumably is due some sort of buyout at any point prior to his contract expiring. So you have the extra expense of paying the buyout, plus I seriously doubt the AD is in the kind of financial shape where we can just go out and offer somebody else three mil a year. Under those circumstances, who's going to want the job if they're a high profile coach from a highly respected mid major or P5 program? I think I've seen Marshall's name batted around, but realistically, why should he make essentially a lateral move unless you're going to shower him with extra money? I'd be surprised if we can offer anybody, regardless of pedigree, much more than 1.5, or maybe 2 mil per year. I'd personally love to see a list of these coaches that are going to come in, replace Ollie, and lead us back to the promised land of national titles and basking in our past, present and future glory.
