Just heard on WFAN

[Kitaman]

Been here a long time, and after reading all of these threads and others, its interesting that the majority of the fan base are not upset/surprised at rumors or discussions of Ollie being fired. In fact there is very little push-back, especially since this topic is serious.

For the Boneyard it takes a lot to get fans to look to jump off the Coach's bandwagon. Sure the weather (i.e. injuries) and the road (i.e. conference) is terrible, but obviously the wagon (albeit ragged looking) is not being driven in the right direction or perhaps going too slow to get there. I believe the recent transfers and perhaps Coach Hobbs might be closer to the front window/driver than I and had a better view of things even under the hood.

As for me the wagon is breaking down, stopping/starting and going in circles too much for my comfort. Since its going so slow I've unstrapped my seat belt, expecting to discharge anytime.

It helps to think about baseball.

If any 2 of Polley,Diarra,Carlton or Whaley decide to transfer after the season, that should be it.Starting fresh every year just won't cut it.

If anybody thinks if we have another losing season that KO is going to be still here, they must be delusional. It sounds like AD DB wanted him gone last year and I see no reason why he should stay past this year if he goes under .500 again. KO is a head case that has gotten really bad since his divorce.

Unless they're Kentucky caliber freshmen. Ours aren't.

@SirHypeAlot has good sources. He called Chillious before anyone else did last year.

Donyell has $10 million to spend. Has someone ever paid a buyout so they can get the job? It'd be a good investment to put up say $5 million to get a 5 year deal for $12 million....

Maybe JC will pay for it out of pocket!

Anyone know what the womens coach at TT did to get fired?

Texas Tech fires Candi Whitaker midseason

Pissed off bass and superjohn probably.

 

[Chief00]

A letter in today’s Courant editorial. It’s been building. I don’t think in season but if he were to lose both games this week who knows? you would think that Calhoun would issue a public statement of support, but maybe he’s even unhappy with KO?

I don’t think you will see that statement in a convincing manner.

I heard she got in trouble for calling too many players onto the carpet.

 

[Chief00]

This? Put Geno In Charge

Now Calhoun would definitely react to that LOL.

 

[Chief00]

He's finishing the season and will be back next year. 2018-2019 campaign is do or die for KO.

There’s some good arguments in giving Blaze a chance to work. Recruiting is the key.

This was the most damning thing of found on the Ollie situation. Apologies if it's been posted before. Ollie is #1.......

Let's put Kyle Parsons in charge he has it all figure out.

Why hasn't Blaze been retooled to actually improve on-court performance?

This is huge because everyone thinks Brian Rauf knows all. He makes some valid statements but who the hell is he? No one cares about him or wha he says, he's probably a Dukie.

It doesn't matter who he is. More bad press. Pretty bad to be at the top of the worst things in men's hoops this year, don't you think? I don't care who's list it is.

Also, I didn't have to search for this story. It came up near the top of my Google search so he must have some clout.

Ollie is not getting fired this year.

He’s earning it, but it’s not going to happen.

 

[QDOG5]

I don't have a clue what's going to happen. I would love for one of ours to be successful again. I don't know if that is going to happen. I do know that UConn mens hoop is my passion, my obsession. I have a wife and 4 kids and they know they are a close second. I hope to have that overwhelming feeling again like when I was in Detroit in'91 and had to be restrained from trying to get at Laettner. You people know what I mean. Anybody who went to the BE tourney knows we are some crazy .... I just want that feeling again, please.

 

[uc1990]

Please do, or just go be a duke fan you'll be happier. You don't have what it takes to be a uconn fan.

 

[UconnFanDC]

Well it's not like anything is happening today, they already left for Tulsa and while I don't think KO should be the Head Coach going forward, it doesn't make a lot of sense to fire him midseason.

Well, i kinda feel like if your going to do it, do it b4 the end of the season for recruiting purposes. This way if we're going to lose recruits we know who and if we going to gain some we have time

Most felt the same way after BD made it through the 2016 season all the way to Christmas.

I'd wager that if someone backed up a Brinks truck and took the finances out of it, KO would be done at end of season.

Being that there isn't a Brinks truck that we know of, Ollie is coming back for 2018-2019.

Benedict had the $$$ & RE lined up to rid the school of Diaco. He doesn't have his ducks in a row for an Ollie departure just yet.

And, 7 zeros following a dollar symbol and another # requires a bigger bag than the Fenway Park football game paid to help dispatch Disastro. Surely, all of the big sackers calling for Ollie to be jettisoned stepped up 12/31 to donate to the If you want to get rid of Ollie cause
