Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2440803, member: 7597"] If Ollie somehow turns this around, quickly, which eventually leads to a spot in the dance as, at least a 7 seed, I am willing to give him another year. That result yesterday set him and his team back for sure. For fans to be okay with giving Ollie another year, I think, requires Uconn to really bounce back big time. Because that is the kind of loss that knocks a fringe team that is on the bubble off the bubble come March. If Uconn is anything like they were two Marchs ago for this coming March, pundits will not let anyone forget 102-67. THAT would be a death knell if this year is otherwise similar to two years ago. Uconn has to hope Arkansas does an amazing job in the SEC this year to lessen the blow of such an awful loss. Because if they are middling, that looks even worse, terrible for Uconn. Any way, if Ollie continues to lead a team as poorly as yesterday into late December, if I were the AD I would start searching by that point. I wish Uconn could just join the BE and promise that conference that "hey we are also coming with a new coach too" IF Ollie indeed continues to sink and at the same time, do whatever they can with football that is agreeable to the Big east (keeping it in the aac or otherwise). Uconn will recruit better in the BE. I think they should go for it, seems like the best possibility, best fit, etc. Uconn was never a football school, we need to stop pretending. vs Oklahoma that one year was just a flash in the pan. Go back to a conference that suits the schools history, bball. I feel like I am off the Ollie train, so to speak, and patience is very very thin. [/QUOTE]
