Thank god you're not Susan.

It's not a bad point. You always need a plan. Doesn't mean you worry over it, but it's prudent.Thank god you're not Susan.

Can we worry about this when it happens and not now as Warde is still at Uconn?

Agreed - I am not educated enough to have her job.
So you dont think she should have information for possible replacements now? She should just wait until he says 'Hey Hun, I am heading to Michigan - Im leaving Friday?'
Then she should begin to ask around and determine who might be a good fit? Curious.

Tim Pernetti - Has a ton of contacts with the B1G and knows Delany personally. Also has experience with getting a university added to the B1G.
But at the same time it's not our job to worry about it. Nothing we can do.
Changing the dog sounds is one thing. Affecting a potential hire at the AD level is totally different.
There is an entitlement mentality related to Michigan football that borders on outright arrogance. I'm sure that some of their fans are convinced they can get Nick Saban to replace Brady Hoke.
That is excellent. I think if he gets an offer and goes, it means that UConn is not getting out of AAC anytime soon. If he stays, then UConn is going to P5 sooner rather than later. No one will stay in a hopeless place.You are correct - nothing we can do, or maybe you are wrong. Many thought there was nothing we could do about the obnoxious Husky sound but low and behold change occurred.
I am NOT saying I am doing this nor should we but if there was a swell of posters who felt that losing Warde would be an issue they could voice their concern to the Presidents office, march out front with signs - whatever in an attempt to show Warde love or make the President make every effort to keep him.
If its not our job to worry there is no need for the BY then - there are over a 10000's worried posts on this board. Somethings we can change you just dont know it yet...
"Worry refers to the thoughts, images and emotions of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made[vague] to avoid anticipated potential threats.[1] As an emotion it is experienced as anxiety or concern about a real or imagined issue, often personal issues such as health or finances, or broader issues such as environmental pollution and social or technological change. Most people experience short-lived periods of worry in their lives without incident; indeed, a moderate amount of worrying may even have positive effects, if it prompts people to take precautions (e.g., fastening their seat belt or buying fire insurance) or avoid risky behaviours (e.g., angering dangerous animals, or binge drinking).
Excessive worry is the main component of generalized anxiety disorder."

one has nothing to do with the other...For example, Say we were already in the ACC... just won back to back men's titles and went to the Orange Bowl....You still take the UM job every time
The way I see it, if he leaves we have another friend in the Big to go along with a former University President.
...
Honestly, I doubt he ends up with the job - but there is no way anyone would paint it as a negative about UConn. Nobody could paint Buffalo in a negative light because he took the UConn job.
Except that Buffalo wasn't trying desperately to elevate themselves to UConn's level, in the way that we're currently aspiring to the level of Michigan.
Just read the article, what stands out to me is that the writer chose to highlight Manuel's achievements at Buffalo, not UCONN. Goes to show what the rest of the college realignment landscape thinks of basketball and APR scores: not much. One winning season at Buffalo got a full paragraph. "He's now the AD at UCONN" is all UCONN got despite dual national championships and perfect APR scores. Football is the only sport that CR cares about.
I like Warde and think he's done a good job in trying to clean up the mess left by the incompetence of Jeff Hathaway. That said, if he were to leave for Michigan (or another job), while I would not like it, I would be confident that President Herbst will find a good replacement that would help compliment her B1G push. And if he left for Michigan, that would be one more vote in UCONN's corner inside the B1G. He can spread the Good Word to all curious midwesterners about what UCONN has to offer.
