I've been trying to think of a good, face-saving way for P to get out of Dodge before he does any more damage to the state U's future football prospects - and he has to go one way or another. I'd like him to bail tomorrow, but if it takes another game or two, fine.
1) Fake a health ailment. P could just walk around like he has rickets and then tell the press that he's retiring to attend to his health and that the pressures of coaching a football program are preventing him from getting enough vitamin D.
2) Fake his own death. It's easy and he has the added advantage that no one will spend anytime trying to uncover his deception. (He could announce his own passing at a press conference and I would take it at face value.)
I'd even help - if he wants to spend a weekend at Cape Cod before disappearing, I would happily spend an afternoon chewing on his wallet and sneakers to help stage a fake shark attack. I'm sure we can get another volunteer to swim around with a fin on his head if it means preventing the wholesale destruction of our football program.
It's not like he'd have to be away for long - just spend a week at the beach until we scrub his name and influence off of every proton, neutron and electron of UConn football.
3) This is a wild one....P can just realize the obvious and do the right thing.
It is not going to happen for him here and every day that he's still here is a day that needs to be undone. It doesn't make a lot of sense for him to suffer the bludgeoning that he and the program will take if he sticks it out until he's canned in December. Every soul with even a passing interest in the school likely believes that we're dead in the water with him in place and good God, he can lift that cloud just by heading for the door - why endure hell on the way to the inevitable?!
Negotiate a deal or whatever and just let UConn move on with an interim coach.
4) If all of the above fail, we somehow need to get a great white shark into Shenkman.
