Message: [QUOTE="UConnStats, post: 2501447, member: 5842"] The general public believes Ollie is a bad coach now. KO’s brand is what is ruined. A lot of UConn fans would still give him another year because he won a NC and they’ve stayed loyal to him. His buyout is huge too. I’m fairly sure that Benedict wants him out, but it’s a ton of money to raise. At the same rate, UConn is losing a lot of money because of the product (not that it offsets, but losing like this is a big opportunity cost). I love KO, but I look at the data we have on him and I can’t find any way to skew it to make him look like a decent coach. We consistently get the highest ranked recruiting class in the AAC, and do nothing with them. Chillious is a great recruiter, but did that translate to Romar winning in Washington? No. I don’t know if firing him will be possible, but I don’t realistically see Ollie turning things around in Storrs next year. [/QUOTE]
