Warde 'not commenting' on P future

[Alum86]

No they won't. When people move on, it takes a lot to get them back.

True. Don't see many people reupping their season tix to see a 3 to 4 win team, tops, in the AAC. Especially if they get a coach approved by Larry and the HS coaches.
I want them to hate and despise the next coach.
Then I know he'll be great

Get ready for a less than zero attendance the rest of the way

Less than zero? Can't wait to see what that looks like.

What scares me is the money pool. I can see holy hell being raised locally if UConn gives the next HC $2 million, even if it comes directly from Jim Calhoun himself.

If Sue/Warde are as attuned to the financials of the FBS coaching market as I HOPE they are they should not listen to the ivory tower ninnies on editorial boards of news papers or who write letters to the editor decrying the "big money evils" of college sports

Can't go cheap. 2 mill, minimum. You can get someone with some "gravitas" for that borrow a phrase from Sue.

The next coach has to be worth that much. I've had a similar conversation with a Cowboy fan friend of mine about Doug Free (full disclosure: I'm a 'Skins fan). Just because you pay him like an elite left tackle, doesn't mean he plays like an elite left tackle.

I'll be there with THE GF. So that's at least 2...

I'll be there. Will my two friends who are not UConn-specific fans still come with me? Unclear...

(I might be a tailgate of 1 for that game)

Or if we're real lucky, they'll hire a "Rock Star"...

 

[Palatine]

I doubt we do anything

Dan, I'll bring some IPA's and THE GF will grill your sausage, so that's at least 3 for your tailgate...

Does she look anything like the avatar? If so, I'll let it slide that it says "Geaux Tigers" across her...well, across her...

 

[Caronimo]

Alright. Warde probably thinks and knows he could be a better coach than pp and I can assure you he wants him fired now. However.... If we think he has all the power in the decision we are wrong. I'm sure Suzy aka the soft president who should have nothing to do with sports has half the decision.

THE GF strongly prefers Bama to LSU (she adopted a 2nd team to root for on our drive up to the Grand Canyon on hearing the Edsall news, theorizing Hathaway wasn't competent to hire a competent replacement), but yes, she looks pretty much just like that lil' tiger, except with bigger hips...

I read in an old CFB coaches salary list that Coach Quinn of Buffalo was making 2.5 mil. How does that happen?

 

[noeynox]

I'm sure that is not accurate. At UB he is probably making 600k, and that would be near the top of MAC coaches, I would imagine.

This one has him making 400k:

I can't substantiate it with any other link though, and there is no audit trail as to when this was published. I'm assuming it's recent, since it lists PP as 1.7mil. However, I heard Quinn signed a new contract very recently. Still, it would be hard for me to believe that Buffalo gave him a raise from 400k to 2.5million....talk about over-paying...

Tee hee.


Sorry, with the debacle that has become UConn football under PPGDL my personality has fractured into at least 12 different personas, and the dominant one seems to be 12 years old...

Join the club. I'm sure Dan welcomes you to our tailgate and THE GF would grill yours too...

That's at least three sausages to grill...should be fine, I think...
