It would be a great way to demonstrate to more than half of the student body that the school cares more about winning than their safety so I guess that’s pretty exciting
Meh. I don’t believe in the death penalty. Again, hire Kendall if Art doesn’t sit well.
Many real good coaches have coached in the MAC, Urban Meyer, Jerry Kill, Nick Saban, Gary Pinkel and Dave Clawson just to name a few. Sean Lewis is worth taking a look at if interested.
You can go back to when Sid Gillman was coaching Miami (Oh) in the mid 1940's. A ton of great coaches worked their way up the ladder from the MAC.
Miami (OH) - the cradle of coaches. Bit dated but you get the drift.

Same… he’s going to be the next man up in the MAC IMO and we should make a move asap
oh my god
.Kent States defense is ranked 121, definitely would have to invest in a good DC if he were to get hired.
A lot more if the defense was better
A&M put up 595...Maryland had 525. So yeah, they contributed to the poor defensive numbers. But that western Michigan game, man. Doing their best UConn on that one.
He named big time programs as if that is the sole reason why Kent States defense is ranked 121, but as you can see Buffalo and Western Michigan also put up some numbers on that defense. At the end of the day I would love to hire Sean Lewis but he would definitely need to use the coaching pool money to find a really good D coordinator.
NOT at least being willing to pay $2+m would be the criminal act. To put it in perspective, every $1m is about 1.25% of the entire AD budget. Seems pound foolish to pinch pennies here.Exactly, and this guy makes $500k a year.
Those that insist the only way UConn will win is to spend even more $$$ are absolute crazy. Paying $2M for the next HC is a criminal act for this program.
Too many people want to keep throwing good money after bad. MAC schools have historically found some of the top college coaches early in their career at bargain rates. That is the model UConn needs to follow.
Let the MAC schools do the job of finding good coaches for the cheap and then we can sweep up the coach that proved himself in the MAC just like Cincinnati has done, that’s the model we should follow. Sean Lewis makes 500k a year we can probably lure him in for about $1.5m a year, that’s a great bargain.Exactly, and this guy makes $500k a year.

Plus he’s the 2nd youngest active coach.
Nope. Uconn can do much better than Spanos
Hell no. Dude is a 6' 7" bad ass. Keep the beard. Lots of personality.
Nosti, you're starting to sound like a curmudgeon! UConn needs a culture change on the gridiron! Dude looks like a descendant of Vikings with a warrior mentality. The facial hair stays! Take no prisoners!
