You can't compare Mora to Hurley. Hurley just won a NC and has been here for 5 years now, building up the program.

Mora did a great job turning the program around in year 1 and if he continues to perform, he'll get his raise in due time.

Nobody compared Mora to Hurley

And if you did, Mora would be 20% of Hurley salary wise.

This is about what you should be paying ANY football head coach salary wise in a p5 conference.

That is, if you are aspiring to be in a p5, which is where we assume UConn wants to land.

Don't think these conferences are not watching this.

Are you Mora’s agent? It is not a matter of being able. I believe BD was paid pretty well?

Years back I lost a ton of credibility on this forum (assuming I ever had any of course!) when I relayed information from a discussion I had with warde. Turns out he was blowing smoke and I naively posted it here. So while I still believe (great Frank Turner song btw) gonna wait for official confirmation this time And of course. Rule #1

David Benedict retweeted:



Come on guys. You have to actually look at the tweet. Benedict didn't post this. He retweeted. Who is "Coach Nicholas"? He's the Assistant Coach of St. John's women's basketball team. So, is Benedict giving us a secret nod through the assistant coach of a Big East team? Seems like this has nothing to do with realignment.

Imagine if Benedict retweeted "Packing our bags for the trip we've been waiting for." We'd be fired up only to find out it was just a retweet of a friend's tweet who is going to Australia with his family.

Yes, yes he is. We're headed to B10, though.

Unexpectedly.

Idk what info you specifically posted, but is it possible Warde was just telling you that he was headed to the big 10 and you misheard him

FWIW when things were going down with that both Susan Herbst and Warde Manuel were told by ACC contacts that there was nothing to worry about. Within a couple of days we were out and Louisville was in.

I recall how pumped I was after reading your post. Not on you, you just repeated what you heard. This time, lots of tea leaves for the good guys.

I vaguely remember this, but weren't you tight or neighbors with the Edsall's? Feel like someone here was.

Paying 1 coach $1M more than the school makes annually from their conference/media deal seems… not great. Something’s gotta give
The guy who said he'd rather eat glass than go to the Big 12 is complaining about retaining our NC Coach. Is there some cognitive dissonance going on here or are you just having a bad day/week/month?

What does this have to do with diaco? Get off of it. Football is not comparable to basketball no matter how hard the basketball side tries to rationalize things

You would think this is showing confidence. I won’t believe it until it is official. Been let down too many times.
Exactly. Unless it is explicitly and officially stated I am not believing any of it.

Dan Hurley's team sells out the building they play in so he earns more money. When football sells out the building they play in then the football coach will get a raise.
If we start selling out a 40,000 seat stadium every game . Then I suspect Mora will get something named after him .
