Good grief it's not about getting your buddies paid it's about attracting people you feel you can win with.

This is starting to look like amature hour.

Actually you are incorrect Message Board Warrior. Narduzzi already knows who he would take with him for oc and dc. You can think what u want but the was an excuse was just a no thank you. We will k ow the answer when we see where he ultimately lands up

This from Spartan Nation
"Sources inside the UCONN athletic department told Spartan Nation that, “Pat (Narduzzi) met with Warde Manuel (UCONN AD) on Monday in Atlanta. He was very impressive. After he (Narduzzi) won the Broyles award on Tuesday, Manuel again contacted and asked Narduzzi and Donna (his wife) to meet him at a law office in Atlanta. Subsequently Pat was offered a five year deal on Tuesday night and earlier this morning turned the job down.”If this is true I'm extremely pissed.

If this is true.....

He's not a proven winner, I don't understand that sentiment. Hasn't won a conference championship at any level since 2004.

Thank God there is somebody else wondering what the draw is to this guy. O.K record, poor post season record, and all small schools. TJ has more HC BCS coaching experience just this year alone.

If the requirement is to have BCS HC experience, why did we ever fire PP? He has a ton of BCS HC experience. And he sucks.

Oh he does. He told you. You know they would take whatever they gave Narduzzi to pay peopke?

You are proposing he turned down the job because he can't pay his buddies. Even if that bit of nonsense were true - UConn still looks bad... Yet again.
 
Very good reason to utilize a search firm outside of Connecticut to keep all matters CONFIDENTIAL, positive or negative, so as not to embarrass the school
and hurt your chances with all those previously interviewed candidates, vett and screen. Would like to know how this leaked...maybe I don't.

Move on QUICKLY. PUT TOGETHER LEMBO AND TJ.

TJ has more COACHING experience, of any kind, at the BCS level than this guy. Lembo has spent a grand total of zero days of his life playing for or on the staff at a BCS school.

The post on Spartan Nation sounds like BS. Like someone from "inside the school" is going to discuss anything with members of the UCONN BY.....worthless post to protect a favorite son. MOVE ON...he missed a great opportunity with a great school.

All this and we do not know whether or not the source is credible?? It's a long game.

Woody the wood pecker had a ton of experience though. He didnt make it very far.
 
If someone from UConn was going to leak info they would do it with a CT reporter. Why would they give info to someone in MI.'

If this is close to reality, it is the coaches agents releasing info to make sure everyone know his guy was the first choice & a hot candidate.

Incorrect, he was the OC there for two seasons before being promoted to HC. Huge difference going from FCS to BCS coordinator as opposed to HC.

Not true. Assistant coach salaries are a significant budget item -- at most BCS schools the sum of all assistant coach salaries is equal to the head coach salary, so we're talking $3 million per year at many schools. At UConn there might be a $2 million budget for assistants; but maybe to make more room in the head coach salary they cut it. Regardless, the budget for assistants is probably well below the average BCS school, and this limits Narduzzi's ability to put together his staff.

If Narduzzi knows who he would bring in as assistants, he also knows how much they cost, and what budget he needs. If he couldn't get that budget, couldn't get his staff, he might reasonably turn the job down, even if his own salary was attractive. It's not just about money, but about being able to succeed. If you don't trust your staff, you don't trust your odds of success.

Neither did countless dozens of guys who failed, either. Cuts both ways.

I'm a little upset to read a post that isn't just shouting nonsense into the echo chamber. This isn't representative of the BY that I know and love! You are relying on reasonable premises to support a theory that actually makes sense. While it clearly shows that one person here is logical, I personally disapprove of this sensible form of communication. Back to shouting!

HIRE LEMBO NOW AND DIG UP BEAR BRYANT TO BE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR.
 
I thought we were willing to pay 'whatever it takes' to get a big name coach. As I recall the assistant coaches salaries were a problem last time when we were talking to Whipple.
 
I think Lembo would be a mistake. My gut tells me TJ is better. He totaly changed the trajecture of a nose drive season and that's hrad to do. He changed the body language on the sideline and the play on the field.

Yes that makes sense. I believe he knows who is assistance will be and what. They will command. Would love to know the nimbers though to see who was being unreasonable. For examole if he is going to make a position coach coordinator they cant command the same money as an established coordinator.

That's the question for a program like UConn -- can you invest not just in the head coach, but in a top-notch staff?

This is why I am furious with whomever leaked this info. We look small time.

We need to change the perception. And find the mole.

We don't know if it was leaked by UConn. We don't know if any of it is true.
