Important to tell everybody [the performance] was unacceptable. There are times it's gonna happen but... combined with some of the losses from last season it was too much.

Not an important criteria for the coach to be able to shmooze with the media! Coach must be great with players, academically as well as on and off the field! Fluck the media!

Warde Manuel: I played for Bo Schembechler... he wasn't the greatest with the media...I'm looking for someone I can believe in...can win.

Manuel says he would love to hire a charismatic coach who can inspire, but would rather have one that can produce results #uconnfb
 
Warde is on top of this. I am now completely 100% confident in his ability to turn this program back around again.
 
Maybe now people can back off WM and judge him from here on out. Now if the program continues to go downhill you can point to WM since its actually his hire. One of the biggest cleanup projects from the Hatheway era can begin.

I love this man. He cares. I love that his voice is as hoarse as mine was after the Michigan game.

He didn't make a personnel decision on the tarmac and he's not going to call coaches behind the backs of other ADs or HCs. Clear evidence to the contrary.:rolleyes: (Read: Sarcasm)
 
Warde is beyond impressing me. I have full faith he will hire a winner.

when he gets done with the presser he should fire the web guy. All-Access stinks. Seen the GEICO and Scotts ad about 10 times
 
Press is asking the type of questions they should have been asking PP! The sports press around UConn are more interested in their own rapport with coaches than with insightful press coverage.
 
On whether he threatened or demanded from PP, he says he doesn't go around threatening to fire people. PP a good person...
 
He's talked to several of our donors and we're not going backwards (pay scale).

On money...

Has spoken to the donors. "We're not going backwards". Not going to spend $5M, but we're gonna spend.

Introducing TJ Weist.

Pretty clear that Warde and TJ were not close prior to his arriving at UConn - "have gotten to know him over the past several months".

Its not important to watch the presser. Put it on in the background. There's still about a half hour in the work day :).

It's basically like Warde stayed up all night and combed through the Boneyard and summarized that he shares all of our frustrations and concerns and shares our goals, even down to the monetary concerns of hiring the next coach with PP's buyout.

He nailed this thing. Hopefully he follows through on his end.
 
I'm seriously all tingly over this press conference. Guys, this is the first day we are turning this thing around.
 
Wonder if the Horde wants to ask TJ how much the offense will change --- or "did you feel as if you were really in charge of the offense"?
 
Weist is boring the s--- out of me.
