Jim Calhoun

and of course Wojo had to get his shot in

As @GoodmanESPN reports, Jim Calhoun is interested in the Boston College job. The interest isn't mutual, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Maybe Warde can make JC an offer as a coach in waiting for KO.

LOL. Can you imagine the BC AD telling JC "no thanks"? Hilarious.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Calhoun obviously has something up his sleeve. If he can make BC all nice and happy maybe he can sneak UConn into the ACC...

At first, I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...but then I was thinking about it, and if BC is one of the biggest roadblocks for UConn to join the ACC, this would drastically change that.

 

[CL82]

They just talked about it on SportsCenter. This better not happen. I hate BC more than I hate Hitler.

lol - You don't post a lot anymore Dale but when you do it's quality.

There is zero chance of this happening. None.

 

[Excalibur]

If it was anyone other than Goodman breaking this, I might pay attention.

 

[huskyjawz]

Effort by the press to make Jimmy look bad.

Like he wants the job and they don't want him.

Mother F'ers.

 

[UConnDad]

I can't imagine this happening

 

[Kate]

Let the rumors begin. Goodman is claiming JC has interest in the BC job. Not buying it.

I have a family member highly placed in the BC administration. He hates Coach Calhoun. Thinks of him as a cheater scumbag. Not going to happen.

 

[tcf15]

Not sure if joke or what...

RT @jerrymeyer247: With the Jim Calhoun & Boston College talk out there, I've also heard he has interest in the Virginia Tech job.

From last week:

David Borges ‏@DaveBorges
Just chatted with Jim Calhoun. Seems to think interview with Andy Katz last night got blown out of proportion.
David Borges ‏@DaveBorges
"I said, ‘(Larry Brown's) my hero, he’s 3 years older, maybe I’ll follow him. Maybe I’ll be his assistant next year
David Borges ‏@DaveBorges
Calhoun on interview: "It was a 22-point game. I got some phone calls after. It was kind of funny.

Dom Amore ‏@AmoreCourant
Talked to Jim Calhoun, "I'm not planning on coaching again," #uconnmen

I doubt Calhoun's changed his mind so quickly. Probably some bull$hit rumblings and Goodman is looking to get his name out. I'll trust Amore over anything Goodman is reporting. Goodman is a piece of garbage.

 

[Husky25]

I believe Wojo. He covered UConn for the Courant and helped break the Yahoo story about Mile. He does not like Calhoun and has no vested interest in quashing a rumor that put's UConn's fans on edge.

Calhoun, who is the special assistant to UConn athletic director Warde Manuel, told ESPN last week that he is in good health and reiterated that he would not rule out a return to coaching. When reached for comment on Friday morning, Calhoun declined to talk specifically about any interest in the BC job. However, he did not rule out his interest in returning to the sidelines.
"I would not be opposed to talking to anyone about basketball," Calhoun said.

Is it possible that these "separate" comments are actually one in the same? After all, he was interviewed by Andy Katz last Friday during the Cinci game and said the same thing word for word (IIRC).

 

[60'sfan]

It may be that his interest has to do with recommending someone for the job. I doubt, given his health issues, that he would want to be coaching again.

 

[uconndennis]

On one hand, I want Calhoun to hold a press conference today and be like ..."BC??? duck them!"

but deep down i know that wont be good

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It felt like a shot in the gut when I heard it right before lunchtime.

I can see him wanting to get back into coaching but I don't know if he'd take a job that would take three to four years to build as I don't see him lasting more than five or six years. If he had a pet former player or assistant who he wanted to set up this would make sense but if he does get back into the game it won't be for the eleventh or twelfth position in the ACC for his first couple of seasons.

 

[tykurez]

David Borges @DaveBorges
Not. Happening.

 

[Ewekon]

Folks, they pay him millions. He could seriously beef up his foundation. I begrudge no one willing to work a job. Conversely this would suck.

 

[UChusky916]

Everyone shut up:

Gavin Keefe ‏@GavinKeefe 2m
Just talked to Jim Calhoun. He said he isn't looking to get back into coaching. "I haven't talked to anybody about a job." #UConn

Gavin Keefe ‏@GavinKeefe 1m
Calhoun: "I'm not trying to get back into basketball. I'm not seeking a job." #UConn

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Come on now. Do people actually believe that JC coaching BC would in any way help UConn get into the ACC? In real life?

These are jokes right?

 

[tykurez]

This is such a transparent move by Goodman, it's laughable. The guy does zero homework.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

LOL to all of this

 

[James]

I believe woj. But at the same time, calhoun shut down Woj pretty recently, specifically about KO & the League. Theres no way he is tapped into calhouns inner circle.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

*k Goodman for trying to derail the mojo

 

[James]

Insane troll attempt by Goodman? Jerry meyer can sit down after the kasongo saga.

 

[Inyatkin]

Would prefer the players and Ollie not be besieged with questions on this non-issue for the next day and a half, but probably inevitable.
