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.
 
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.

Do you have actual sources or is this your opinion? If more than just an opinion, I'm going to go out back and put myself out of the misery that KO is responsible for.

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.

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.
 
Ollie will be gone if we miss the NCAA tournament again. It won't happen mid-year, but at the end of the year. AD Dave and the university aren't about to let Ollie have consecutive "one more" years to figure things out no matter how many zeroes the buy-out involves.

I heard the same thing. I checked the Courant Web site and twitter and nothing is being reported. Sounds like the caller (who supposedly was from Storrs, Ct) just wanted to create some fake news and start a little media/social media storm.

OK, what Boneyarder did this?

Fess up, you'll probably get a real lot of likes

Lol yeah. firing Ollie will bring better than mediocrity? Have you spent some time thinking about what a program that fires their head coach looks like? it certainty won't be better than mediocrity. and when the new coach comes in and he has the same amount of time to win a NC and not suck a couple years later. What has it been 6years? Fire him and do it again. Foolish!
By the way we are not Mediocre right now. we suck! It kills me. and I blame Ollie as well. but.... the last thing we should do is fire Ollie!!!!! If anything we need Ollie supported more(maybe the nba will come calling again because he is so highly liked?) Our programs history will hold with a couple of losing seasons because of our NC's and we will be back and better than before. = Patience and support! Find some positives you'll be happier.Low expectations the key to happiness.
Questioned to ponder. If Ollie is here for 2 more years and turns next years team into conference runner up and a sweet 16 team. DO you hate yourself for hating Ollie or still hate Ollie and want him fired?

"Low expectations the key to happiness" gives it away.

Maybe a program like UMass or Central is more your speed.

Yeah who fires a coach? Nobody has ever done that and improved.

The NBA doesn’t generally come looking for coaches who can’t win half their games in the 7th best NCAA conference. The NBA is weird like that.
 
Just like Diaco last year, the school can't afford not to make a change. That 10 million is a sunk cost, DB needs to raise money for the next coach who will probably come in making less than Ollie.
