Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 4413062, member: 8240"] JM is unlike any other coach we've hired, in that he is all these: Experienced, successful, older, highly regarded, financially well heeled, a caring teacher of players and coaches and comfortable in his own skin. First, he doesn't need money except as a yardstick of how much he's valued in his respective position. He knows this isn't a P5 powerhouse, replete with unimaginable pressure and boatloads of money, but believes he should be paid fairly for this level and his performance at this level. Secondly, he seems to have welcomed the challenge of doing something the world likely felt impossible: making a success of UConn football and perhaps helping UConn gain admission to a major all sports conference. Finally, he sounds like such a genuinely fine, caring, and thoughtful man he would go down in the history of UConn sports as one of the greatest coaches in school history if he's successful and that may mean more to someone like him than more money at middle of the road schools like Colorado and Arizona State which are being left behind in CR and won't ever reach the top in any sports.
