Heard a rumor

Let's say there is some truth to the rumor... If they are truly thinking of Geno, the price for that position just went way up... Coquese Washington and Brenda Frese gotta know that OSU might be willing to pay a lot more than what the two of them might have considered as a fair offer...

On the other hand I can not possibly think Geno would be interested in something like that unless there was a lot more to offer in added benefits... He does have a lot going on here... Women's AD job perhaps in addition to comparable stuff he has here.

OTOH Isn't Auriemma in the process of negotiating a contract extension? That alone should elicit a chuckle about the Ohio State thing.

 

[CONNFAN23]

The only thing that lends any credence to either the OSU or USC coaching rumors involving Geno is the fact that he has yet to sign a new contract with UCONN even though Warde Manuel stated back in October that a new contract would be soon following.

They must think pretty highly of theOSU.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Dont think Geno goes anywhere.

However with NC State, USC, and Ohio State already opened should making for some interesting coaching shuffles.....

 

[Vowelguy]

I wonder if Jim jabir from Dayton will get a look from Columbus. Or Jeff walz.

Geno Auriemma Signs Five-Year Contract Extension

AWESOME news!

 

[FairView]

This just proves that Susan Herbst and Warde Manuel read the Boneyard and they released the contract extension news to end the speculation in this thread.

Gotta figure OHIO State must have floated his name just to make it look good for the fans and Alum. Making it look like they were serious about getting the program to the highest level even though they knew there wasn't a snowballs chance in Hades of hiring him.

 

[vtcwbuff]

As soon as Manuel read on the BY that Auriemma was considering jumping ship he made the godfather an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[UcMiami]

Doubt that Geno would have even talk to the AD that just canned his longtime friend!

 

[UConn990411]

and…Geno Auriemma of UConn. Sources are mum on Auriemma’s interest in the job.

I have a feeling Geno's response went something like, "Hahahahahaha."

 

[ChicagoGG]

I bet Geno went down to the wine cellar, lit up a good cigar, poured a glass of red wine and said "you gotta love it....and laughed like heck.

Way to make it less attractive...Women's AD job...even with CD really doing it!!

Ding, ding, ding...winner, winner, chicken dinner!

 

[HuskyNan]

Turns out the rumor is true - Geno was truly a target as was Kim Mulkey. It seems OSU is serious about making a Big Hire. They've got another Big Name on the list; can you guess who? Remember, OSU appears willing to pay for a big time coach.

 

[Icebear]

Anne Donavan?

 

[HuskyNan]

Anne Donavan?

Think of someone with a better coaching resume.
