Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4484745, member: 974"] No, I said something completely reasonable. That we shouldn't let Marinella get away. The responses range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Can't raise his salary? Of course we can. We can also give him another title and greater responsibility. Second, yes, assistants want to become head coaches. But many wait until the right opportunity comes along. They don't all jump at the first chance that appears. What an bizarre and provable wrong assertion. But that is what you are suggesting Marinelli should do and that we shouldn't try to keep him. Besides, he will have many equivalent or better opportunities than CCCU in the future especially if he can be part of the group that revived UConn football. Third, you keep, ignoring that Marinelli is a special case. He has more value at UConn than almost any other place. Connecticut is his home. He comes from a long line of important Connecticut high school coaches. He has credibility here and can relay his experience to potential UConn recruits. When he speaks of the value of staying home, he is not only talking about the recruit, he is talking about himself. I'm not dying on any hill. It's just common sense. Surprised you can't see it.
