Message: [QUOTE="FearThePups, post: 5071502, member: 12856"] Then I guess I have my answer. Hire a real football coach but we first need a search committee who understands football as this is totally lacking from the prior coaches including the 2nd coming of Edsell. We, and what I mean by that, whether it’s our elected officials, state officials and UConn administrators ALWAYS look for the cheap way out. I think they finally learned the lesson with Danny’s new contract. But way way past due skimpy upgrades to Gambel, the Civic Center, the free contaminated land offloaded by Pratt and then the building of a stadium from a bygone era vs a stadium on campus all smack of stupidity and lack of foresight. This state is the land of steady habits, risk adverse, and whatever can be called beyond frugal. If we want to play with the big boys, suck it up, think creatively and spend the money. I saw a bunch of politicians walking in the Husky parade all basking in the glory but scatter like rats when the light shines on them. There’s a reason our men’s soccer program hasn’t been relevant for 40 years. We never hired a replacement worthy of Joe Morrone. We did with Danny however after the ineptitude of Ollie. Glad to see Geno is sticking around for 5 more years but the school will need to have a succession plan before Geno’s out the door. We need to start locking now for a Mora replacement [/QUOTE]
