Shea Ralph Gets Contract Extension

[YoDore]

Vanderbilt is a private university and does not release details on contracts. I'm sure they're taking good care of her, though. She has been all they could ask for in her first three years on the job.

My hope has always been that either Shea or Carla would make their next stop UCONN.

Fantastic! Happy for Shea and Vanderbilt

Shea will eventually be the UConn head coach.

Congrats to Shea. Continued success at Vandy.

No way in hell. She is carving out her own destiny at Vandy in the best conference in college basketball. A contract extension means she is doing all the right things. This year she secured her first top 10 recruit, and the roster she has now would be good enough to play UConn and not get blown out. She is where she wants to be, and after all those years at UConn her hard work has paid off and she is very happy about her situation. I wish Shea the best in the future which I see as very bright.

Heck every game we have prognosticators proven wrong, that's not something new here. Congrats to Shea and may she keep on winning.

While private, when they signed Steph White back in 2016, White announced she was making over $1 mil per year, she lasted only lasted the 5 years of that initial contract. My guess is Shea is earning $1.2 mil with yearly increases and other stipends built in. Well earned and I hope she can continue to build upon this early success.

We’ll see! You could be right but you could also be wrong! I’m sure she will let us know which when Geno & CD finally retire. Of course, I hope you are wrong as I believe she would be the best candidate to take over when they go.

I bet Shea got a nice COLA increase. The next HC, Shea or Carla?

 

[HuskyNan]

Geno signed a 5 year contract extension this year. He's here and will stay here until he or the University announce otherwise. Please don't speculate on this.

UConn Coach Geno Auriemma to Return on Five-Year Extension

The school announced on Tuesday that it had signed the legendary coach to a five-year contract extension worth $18.7 million.

Just based on the improvements in the Vandy WBB program, Shea deserves the best
As for HC at UCONN….
We’ll see what the landscape looks like on 5 years.
Shea, Carla and other Husky coaching alumni may really like where they are and what they’re doing

Congrats, Coach Shea!! Pretty awesome and well deserved.

Shea will eventually be the UConn head coach.

Wish so, but don't think so. I think she likes the culture and weather down there too much and you can fit 3 of Geno's offices in hers.

Those trophies take up a lot of space.

Picture this, Shea walks into a high school gym to watch the no1 prospect and she is recognized as the head coach of Vanderbilt or the head coach of the University of Connecticut Huskies.

Bigger office, nicer weather, nice culture at Vanderbilt?

What about the millions of extra dollars, and most importantly for an intense winner like Shea, the probability of multiple national championships.

Millions of extra dollars? You mean for Vanderbilt? Probability of multiple national championships Well, lately ... Actually Shea still has a long way to go to draw the quality of recruits UConn draws. Some time down the road we'll get a feel for how much of a draw is Geno and how much UConn.

 

[itsasport]

No. Not Vanderbilt. Millions more from UConn and the recruiting edge and championships for UConn.
