Message: [QUOTE="Sonova, post: 2552247, member: 7513"] Be done. You’ve changed the original argument and are now crying foul and falsehoods. The original claim was that Kevin Ollie getting fired before the end of the year or even fired at all, would turn otherwise interested coaches off to taking the UConn job. You used his position as an alum and a Championship coach as evidence that his dismissal would reek of unfairness and no job security to all future coaching candidates. You clearly don’t understand the business Ollie is in. Guess what? EVERY coach at a major b-ball program who does what Ollie has done over the last four years (including a 2nd rd tournament appearance AND including the NCAA sniffing around) would expect to get fired. If anything, the magnitude of the crap show that Ollie is leaving behind is likely to result in a longer contract (and more job security) than UConn would idealy like to give. Thanks KO. And he’s also done miraculous work in (at least in the short term) lowering fans’ expectations and definition of acceptable performance. Throw in the mile-wide chasm between the next guy and following a legend, and he’s nearly made the UConn job the most secure opening in the market. [/QUOTE]
