Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 4162614, member: 2844"] Pudge, If it was directed to me - Don't tell me to STFU - who's the sour arse person who says this on Christmas? I'm happy men's soccer was your favorite sport at UConn I've been involved in the program before you were born and coached the sport for nearly 30 years I surmise you very little squat about Coach Reid or Chris. Again - DB knows zero about soccer, zero about the legacy of Coach Morrone, etc. I spoke with him at length at a Friends of Soccer event this past October and it was reinforced by his feedback - all he could talk about is the facilities My circle of soccer contacts that range from MLS, college and national youth leaders all feel that CB is a safe choice but not the best choice at this time for UConn - but what do they know - not as much as AD David Benedict or you Pudge - your claims of knowledge of DB's handling the search is unfounded and I'm guessing it's pure hyperbole. You nor I know squat about it. If it is me that you consider to be a Connecticut curmudgeon, fine - I pour money into the AD for all sports every year and support them in good and bad - not a fair weather fan. You won't catch me saying: [I] I desperately want us to compete at the highest level. I [B]will[/B] go to games.[/I] I [B]do[/B] go to matches. I never claimed that CB was/is a bad choice, I merely said if Jared and Marc were finalists then AD David Benedict missed - most anyone in the US Soccer arena would agree with me.[I] [/I] Again, I wish the best for Coach B, UConn soccer, all UConn athletics and a Happy New Year 2022 [/QUOTE]
