I could see up to 10 years, but 15 is a stretch as that means he'd be 76 upon retirement.Couldn't agree more. Some were speculating that he'd hang it up after his current contract runs out. I could easily see him coaching 10-15 more years, BUT there are 2 things IMO that would drive him to retirement much faster:
And I have to imagine that both are related. Kids who start coming back to Geno saying "I'd really love to play for UCONN, but Texas is offering me $10,000 in addition to my scholarship". Those are the kids to which Geno will say "I rescind your offer", and possibly drive him towards retirement faster...
- If, as he says, he stops being able to get the kind of kids he likes to coach or...
- The whole "stipend" and paying kids to come to college starts to take over the best kids recruiting experience

We shall see, but Geno has other aspirations in life. He's got that restaurant thing going on, his ultimate dream is to have his own vineyard, and he seems to be everywhere all the time. I could see him starting (as in starting to seriously think about) the transition after the KLS/Boykin/Collier class graduates. I say Geno ends his career with a baker's dozen titles. Anyone dare take the under?There is at least one precedent.
Dick LeBeau continues to actively coach the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive unit, both as Defensive Coordinator and on the field (sidelines) during games (at least16, plus 4 preseason and possible post-season), in all kinds of weather.
Geno is at least as tough as LeBeau (and with more job security).

So what happens tomorrow when, instead of signing an LOI to UCONN, Collier or KLS says, "I owe it to my family to wait a few months and see how that Texas $10,000/year plays out."And I have to imagine that both are related.

Just remember, he has to retire......
Hush...Just remember, he has to retire.
eventually.
By then, 76 will be the new 27.I could see up to 10 years, but 15 is a stretch as that means he'd be 76 upon retirement.
So what you're saying is we have 50 years left of Geno? Perfect. Hopefully CD wants to keep going just as long.By then, 76 will be the new 27.
That exactly what I'm saying.So what you're saying is we have 50 years left of Geno? Perfect. Hopefully CD wants to keep going just as long.
Seriously... isnt there a mandatory retirement age for Connecticut state employees? I assume the coaches at UCONN are technically state employees? Right?
