Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 2477266, member: 2524"] This is what I don't understand. Expectations are so low at Rutgers, he's got zero risk of failure. The facilities are poor but they'll get better. If Ollie is fired then you not only have the AAC baggage, and the athletic department losing $30 mn per year in a state with terrible budget problems creating an expectation of athletic funding cut problems baggage, but also the perception that even a national championship is not enough to buy a coach 5 years of job security. I can understand loyalty to past employers or one's alma mater, but when millions of dollars are at stake, you tend to take the certain millions. I'd expect Pikiell to be interested in a UConn opening mainly as a way to leverage a sizable raise out of Rutgers. [/QUOTE]
