Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2477415, member: 7511"] I don’t get why so many posters feel that prior HC experience is a requirement to be considered as a potential replacement for Geno at UConn. Everyone should be reminded that in 1985 UConn hired a little known assistant out of UVA as their HC and he wasn’t half bad. Replicating UConn’s success will be extremely difficult for anyone who follows Geno. IMO, if you don’t have an intimate understanding of how the program runs from evaluating recruits, through running practices to game planning it’s virtually impossible to maintain the same level of success at UConn. That is why, IMO, the only possible replacement for Geno has to be a coach that has worked for him, and learned from him, for over 10 years. Shea has to get the job. Hopefully, Marissa stays on as the Ast HC to provide even more continuity once Geno & CD walk off into the sunset. [/QUOTE]
