Uconn’s next coach

[Block C]

I believe John Thompson III should be our next coach. My second choice would be Hurley.

Yuck. I live in DC. Watched his teams for years. Never did much.

With the state of the Huskies he wouldn’t be a bad choice, or do you want to stick with Ollie.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

His last two season were 15-18 and 14-18. Pretty sure we already have that guy.

Billy Donavan

Billy Donavan

He is a pretty good choice probably won’t get him. With how the money is we probably will go with a cheaper choice. That’s my speculation

Hurley or Eric Konkol. Forget JT III.

No.

 

[the Q]

If it can't be Donovan....

Hurley, Oats or Otzelberger

The first two there can bring in recruits to replenish the talent...the latter has a good recruiting background.

 

[Block C]

I can’t wait to see what is going to happen. The Ollie saga will be a long one until they finally fire him in the next coming days hopefully. I love Ollie but he should only be an assistant coach.

 

[Showballot]

Yay can’t wait for the Princeton offense.

 

[Lefty2one]

JTIII is a dreadful coach. He's so bad he'd be a lateral move from KO.

 

[the Q]

I don't mind the offense.

But JT3's teams tended to underachieve.

 

[Mano]

Wtf is wrong with some of you guys??

I still think he is not a bad choice though. His teams at times underachieved. I do think he could definitely recruit at uconn

As @whaler11 likes to say, sometimes I think we deserve everything we get.

 

[whaler11]

This is absurd. Please stop.

 

[willie99]

JT III?

Gee, why not Kevin Stallings

 

[huskyrob1]

So what if he can recruit, he'd be Ollie all over again. First we need a coach that knows how to prepare his team and can coach the team during a game, then we need someone who knows how to mold raw talent and show them how to play basketball and show players in practice how to improve their games, neither Ollie nor JT III have a clue on how to do that.

Will UConn fire Kevin Ollie, bring back Jim Calhoun?

"Benedict brought back former head football coach Randy Edsall to stabilize the program in December 2016. He could very well do the same for the men's basketball program in the coming days by re-hiring Calhoun."

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

JT3 coaches our team harder from the announcers booth than KO did from the sidelines. Still a hard no.

 

[UCDaveD]

Donovan is a pipe dream.

JC2.0

I honestly don't want to see Coach Jim taking over a difficult situation that he easily could have turned around in a few years at a different stage in his career. Why put him through it and risk any of the polish coming off a HOF career? Instant credibility but other programs will be recruiting against a limited time horizon. I just don't see anything other than loyalty to the program bringing Jim back, but hopeful he is consulting with the AD as we speak.

Calhoun as HC. Glen Miller as Assistant. Glen takes over in 2 years. Hmmm.....
