This has become just plain sad

If he does, he'll have a ton of cash and have no need to work right away. He'll wait for a P5 job if he wants to return to college.

I am sure he'd be willing to hear out Dave Benedict and Geno Auriemma. But we need the money to be able to pay.

he is the absolute best case scenario. he's a tremendous coach and it might convince some players to stick around so the roster isn't completely bare.

Do you really think a coach of his stature would want to coach at a mid major that plays in an also ran conference that plays before 3500 fans?
Maybe if John Wooden comes back to life he’d be interested also.

god you people think so little of our University and this program. Donovan is 52. He spent the first 20+ years of his life in the North East. If he gets back into college ball he probably wants to go somewhere he can coach for the rest of his career. He can recruit our backyard and put together very good teams.

there's a lot more to like about being the HC at UConn than some of you dckwads would like to believe

I'm beginning to regret that grocery stores have quit using the big, brown paper bags that fans of the 1970's era Saints (Aint's!) used to wear over their heads at games.

Don’t use the plastic ones!

It really is amazing to see how little people think of our own school. I am going to assume they didn't go to school at UConn.

This is what "our school" is at present. Stop living in your head and join us in the real world. I'm sick of this make-believe.

Billy would take the UConn Job with the hope of landing something bigger in 2-3 years.

Then how come Benedict ain't in such a rush to leave? Maybe he has a vision that is worthwhile?

like you said @Butch - it's the ones who didn't go to UConn that think so little of it

It's the ones who didn't go to UConn who use logic instead of emotion and self-delusion. We're the only sane ones here.

You really have no idea. Keep sulking in your self imposed misery. Besides, my happiness is not based on my freaking alma mater. This is a hobby. Not my life. I go to D3 games. But think whatever you want about who's sane.

It doesn't mean we can't be better. I don't think anyone is thinking we are gong to be the powerhouse school of the past. We though could be a team that is competitive and finishes each year in the top 3 of this conference and has a chance to make the tourney. Presently we don't have that with KO.
 
JMick said:
No you just have the most negative view of UConn of almost anyone who posts on the board.

I am most in tune with how UConn is seen outside of the "bubble" this board serves as.

Oh, many are. Many are.

Every game, there are dozens of references to how recruiting/gameplanning/in-game coaching went under JC. That is the standard folks are used to, and that is why they are so upset.

If we were Cincy/Wichita State/Gonzaga over the next 10-15 years, this board would be similarly miserable, no matter how often people deny it.

The mass demonstration of depressed fans with Stop and Shop bags over our heads at the XL!
Yeah! That’s the ticket.

I'm not miserable, because I'm not delusional. I'm not one of the people who picked us to lose only 3 times during the 2014-15 season, or proclaim that we'll beat every single top 10-ranked team we play, or complain about how Jalen Adams wasn't a preseason All-American. You are all stuck in the mindset of the JC years, and you will be the miserable ones for as long as that is the case.
 
Butch said:
I think it's time. Can someone set this up??
Expand ...

I could. I’ll ask if they like Bill Walton. Based on that we will either try and save them...or not.

What do both of those schools have in common?

HCs who stayed there for 10+ years to put their unique system in place.

Nobody here has the patience for that. I really feel bad for the new coach as it pertains to the "win immediately" expectations he'll have on him.
