Now that’s the kind of cheap we want and need!I think Saban should be ready for a real challenge. And he can work for free too.
The $17mm to get back to the Big East seems pretty easy to come by.No more on the cheap, please. Sell veggies @roadside stand. Sell off some property. I don’t know where to get the money! We have supposedly well educated professors at the school of finance put them to work. Figure it out. No more on the cheap. But be smart no more Disco or PP @nd no more reruns.
Let's think of the positives for a prospective coach:
A closer can sell this package to a new coach. No coffee for AD Dave until he closes!
- Division 1 football program, from a state flagship university, with a history of success
- Name recognition (primarily from other sports, but still)
- Located near NYC, Boston, and Hartford/New Haven markets and an international airport
- Great on-campus facilities
- Fan base that loves a winner and will come back if winning returns
it is fromfunds that UConn is owed by the AAC from funds fro the conference shares . $5 million +$5+million and some money coming this year also (I think)The $17mm to get back to the Big East seems pretty easy to come by.

I’d sign up for this. What would it take money wise? 750K?
You get what you pay for.
I wanted Clawson, but would have preferred Lembo to Diaco.
The down slide of football has nothing to do with the soccer teamsHas anyone noticed how much our non revenue Olympic sports m&w soccer,etc has gone downhill since all this killing of the fb team? Even field hockey .
Who is John Marinelli?
UConn Dan 97!
Field Hockey is still great. They lost 2 games on the road to top 10 teams and have beaten several ranked teams. Women's Soccer started going down hill over 10 years ago. The head coach simply failed to keep it as one of the top programs on his way to retirement. AD Dave's hiring of his assistant was a white flag on that program. Men's soccer seems to have had a dramatic drop off corresponding to leaving the Big East for the AAC in recent years. All the men's hockey addicts assure me Cavanaugh always is a year or 2 away. I stopped buying that when they allowed a goal in the final seconds of a period for the 86th time. Women's Lacrosse went 2-14 last year. Recent struggles of football and men's hoop well documented with the hope Hurley is the answer for the basketball. There is no good answers for football.
But yeah it is noticeable to those that choose to notice it.
I would take the job for 200k, since that would be a significant pay raise for me! The left over money would go to make sure that we paid our coordinators an average FBS salary. Not kidding.
And I would also wear short sleeves during cold games. Just sayin'...
Are you fat enough to wear short sleeves in cold weather?
We have FCS players why not an FCS coach?
Interview at 2,bring the short sleeves the interview will be in a cold storage facilityI would take the job for 200k, since that would be a significant pay raise for me! The left over money would go to make sure that we paid our coordinators an average FBS salary. Not kidding.

And honestly at this point why the hell NOT talk to Art Briles?!?
NO MORE ASS’ts from ND please. I like Jon Wholley. Although I don’t know much about him. Wasn’t he a coach here at one time or another?Here’s my short list... plus add in ANY P5 HC who is fired after this season, minus Addazio. View attachment 47203
