Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 2287137, member: 5260"] I have no time for your pollyanna "we will be back to the glory days because we are UConn" argument, it's self-evident and not grounded in reality at all. The only national success this program ever saw was a direct result of its coach and its conference, the likes of which will never be replicated again. You folks think that we will find a coach to take us back there now that we a) don't have Big East payout money, b) are on this BS AAC TV deal, and c) would be dealing with a hypothetical buyout. If next year goes badly enough that we are looking for a new coach, why do you think someone would want to come here when they had lower-risk, higher-reward options in P5 conferences? Does the magic sparkly UConn dust outweigh 1 tourney berth in 4 years, potentially two straight losing seasons, a graveyard of a roster, a conference that's impossible to recruit in? Note that I'm not arguing against a coaching change, I just think you guys are fools to think it will turn out fortunes around. [/QUOTE]
