The solution is simple

[whaler11]

Fire the search firm. The right answer is on campus.

Geno - please step up and fix this for us.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Amen.

“For those people who think I would be a great replacement for Kevin, I’m flattered,” Auriemma said. “But I probably agree with all those people who think that somebody should have their head examined if they name me.”

Being modest. He’s the great pick.

Geno with the head fake?

That ol horse trader.

 

[August_West]

Yeah when I think of the word humble the name Geno automatically pops in my head.

 

[whaler11]

Never thought I’d see August get caught up in small minded thinking.

This is a huge opportunity for him and the program.

Let’s do this.

He’s already mentally preparing for his new role.

 

[August_West]

Geno would be a great coach anywhere though

Speaking of simple > CD for coach:

Stop

 

[JMick]

It would be a spectacle and they wouldn't have any issue selling tickets. We'd be in the news cycle constantly, especially if it went really well or really bad

 

[HungryHuskies]

Geno already has it made, all the recruits come to him. I would be shocked if he left that. Don't see it happening at all.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

I don’t think Geno is as close minded about this as some people think or he has alluded to. It won’t be an easy sell but it’s not impossible.

Let’s go Geno. Make the move.

 

[Ha Who]

Fire the search firm. The right answer is on campus.

Geno - please step up and fix this for us.

No

 

[Jaker]

Geno could coach both. LOL

 

[StoneyDawg]

Agree. CD should get an interview.

 

[jibsey]

Geno can teach no doubt but don’t you think KO would be successful if he landed the top players every year?

 

[whaler11]

No

What if Geno really encouraged people to drive to games even if it snowed?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Geno can teach no doubt but don’t you think KO would be successful if he landed the top players every year?

No. KO would never get to that point because he doesn’t have the chops to run a program. You act like Geno snapped his fingers one day and he started getting the best players to come. The guy might be the best basketball coach walking the earth today. You don’t think his pedigree would land 5 star men here?

 

[UConnNick]

Agree. CD should get an interview.

Can you imagine what happens when Chris attempts to impose her no tattoos rule on the men's side? We'd have players who would have to wrap themselves in tape like mummies to cover all the tats visible on their arms and legs. It would be like watching an entire team that just got released from the hospital emergency room after a traffic wreck.

 

[Waquoit]

Agree. CD should get an interview.

No thanks to a 30-year assistant. HC material would have shown by now.

 

[Sky ball]

No.

Why not? Cal throws out a ball in Kentucky and does pretty well.

I honestly think Geno could be a successful men’s coach if given the chance, but now that he’s in his 60s that ship has probably sailed.

It would take time to build up the recruiting connections and cache needed to succeed, and time isn’t something either side can afford. Plus, I’m pretty sure Geno is on record as saying if he were to take a men’s job, he wouldn’t take the UConn job, as he wouldn’t want to destroy both teams.)
