If this were to occur, my feeling is that Jim Calhoun doesn't owe UConn anything.
Quite the opposite. I would wish him luck

Agreed, but still ... I would rather light myself on fire than see this happen.
 
Jim Calhoun is not interested in the Boston College job.

I have no idea if Boston College would be interested in Jim Calhoun - I can't imagine they would be.
 
To anyone who suddenly felt a clenchening of the butt cheeks over this should just think about two things...JC's health and...BC's lack of hoops success as an ACC outpost will not improve under his watch. He would not be able to start over somewhere else with his rules at his age. And he would not want to just get back into coaching for 2 years. What kid would commit to him?

He's our lifer now.
 
I betcha this guy is pumped

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.

Fornicate you you little troll. You don't know anybody of any importance in any walk of life. You just chimed in to call Calhoun a cheating scumbag because you obviously root for a school that got its ass kicked by JC for years.
 
Well, as much as it may upset many of us, Jim Calhoun can do whatever he wants to do. By not closing the door to future coaching opportunities when interviewed, he is sending out a message that he could be available. If it would make him happier, then what the heck? I would rather he not, but my preference has no real importance when you get right down to it.

he can hold his head high and look at those academic and revenue-sharing banners hanging in good ol Conte Forum.
 
This would be a brilliant move, sneak UConn into the ACC through the backdoor, use BC as a door mat. :)
 
First, JC is under contract with UConn for several more years and I believe he is thoroughly enjoying this job to increase donors, build the new training facility, etc. He would have to be bought out, which could happen, but is doubtful for a job at BC.
Second, JC is not a 35 year old guy who has the needed energy for a 10 year, turn-around job at a college he openly said he would never play his team against - ever again.
Third, BC is not serious about hoops and not interested in hiring and paying a big-time coach like Calhoun. There are lots of mediocre, potential candidates available that fit BC's needs much better.

Can't blame the writers. They smell smoke, even if there's not a visible flame, and JC is, deliberately or not, keeping this going with his ambiguous answers ...

Duffy: Calhoun said he "can't speculate" if he'd show interest should B.C. reach out to him.

Duffy: Calhoun (cont): "I haven't thought about it..well I shouldn't say that, that would be untrue. I haven't done anything about it."

Duffy: Calhoun (cont): You could say, 'well, say you're never going to coach again.' I'm not going to say that."

Duffy Calhoun: "Someone is speculating, and like I said, I would never say never, and from that it's grown it's own life a little bit."
 
BC doesn't have the facilities to be a big time program right now. I can't see Coach going there if he can't attract the top talent. And does he really want to compete directly with KO for the local kids?

It's not like I think this'll happen, but he's giving non-denial denials. If he ended up taking the job he could rightfully say he was truthful throughout the process, even while giving the impression he wasn't interested.
That being said, I just don't see it. But what do I know.

This is all nonsense. BC is interested in Ammaker.

Also Calhoun has no interest in a rebuilding job that pays 950K a year.

I just don't think they have any chance. By almost every metric, except TV contract, Harvard is a much better job for Amaker. If I am him, I am waiting for Duke or Stanford to open up.
 
Yahoo does this around tourney time every year to drive views up. Goodman is a a Cuse
