To prevent Pasqualoni from being hired away, is it time to renegotiate and reward him with a raise?

[Rumrunner]

By my estimate Pasqualoni is somewhere around the top 45 to 50 of the highest paid college football coaches. That has to change.

UConn can't afford to lose him to a more desireable fbs school. Neither can it afford to lose him to the NFL. If Manuel doesn't open up the UConn treasury, all this talk of Pasq as the next head coach at Arkansas, Tennesee, Auburn, even whispers about Mack Brown's job, could hurt UConn. Also, having a hot offensive coordinator like Deleone can also inject uncertainty. What happens if they lose him? Would we see Boise State type offensive consistency?

I don't want an A-Rod kind of contract drag on the school, but maybe do what Jurich is doing over at Louisville and publically proclaim that UConn will match any offer that Pasq receives, as well as provide an immediate raise of eleven billion dollars, a Generac 5500, and the chance to name the next calf born at the Dairy Barn.

Completely agree. If we don't crank up DeLeone's pay to be on par with other heavily compensated assistants around the country, we risk losing him. Kirby Smart and Chad Morris are both paid over $1M/yr so I'd say DeLeone should get double that. And we should rename Jonathan the Husky to George the Husky. As for Pasqualoni, I'm thinking a lifetime contract worth $10M annually is a good starting point (keeping my fingers crossed that that's enough!!).

 

[VAHuskyFan]

Absolutely. Double Pasqualoni's salary (but take out the buyout provision). Tell him it's a reward for his excellent job running the program.

Pasqualoni has shown himself to be so delusional, he just might sign the damn thing!

On a serious note, PP's buyout is a bargain compared to the one Joker Phillips is getting at Kentucky.

from @darrenrovell

Kentucky’s buyout of Joker Phillips will cost the school $2.55 million over two years. That’s $3,493 a day NOT to coach.

Buying out a terrible coach is like divorce. The reason it's so expensive is because it's worth it.

So says the attorney.

LOL - some funny stuff.

Talk about the coup de grace in the PP vs RE saga. I can remember being genuinly concerned when Ga Tech and others were courting RE. And happy when RE's salary was bumped. As for PP, the mere title of this thread made me shudder.

As I said before, Kentucky got rid of their Joker....when will UCONN do the same?

Probably the same as UK, during year 3. But if PP wins the Big East next year along with the games against Michigan and Maryland....

Only if John Marinatto is charge of the renegotiation

I may miss it while shooting pigs from the sky...

They need a few more years to get their kids in.

Yeah. Good times. I remember when Edsall interviewed for the GT job, didn't get selected and Hathaway gave him a raise anyways. He still left. Hathaway was pretty damn effective.

I think Edsall was discontent with the way his coordinators and assistants were compensated. We were losing coaches in part because Hathaway was a cheapskate.

You could shoot pigs from the sky. The helicopter door would need to be open, and the pigs would be on the ground of course, but if that is how you want to spend your recreational dollars ....

to spin wildly off topic, I did see that on some TLC or Discovery show how they are trying to wipe out the wild pigs somewhere...

dammit I need to be more creative and clear when paraphrasing cliches!!!

Man if I awoke from a coma today I could easily figure out this has sucked by the start of this thread

Forgot season sorry

Year 3? Year 3?! Man, say it ain't so. At the end of this season let's have AD Manual and HCPP go off and have a nice lunch. Afterwards they announce that Pasqualoni is "retiring" due to health and fatigue issues. Thank him for his service and off we go.........

I think first we need to get rid of the smoker and the midnight toker.
