tQUOTE="noeynox, post: 1005722, member: 156"]What fishy described in his post has been my/all of our anxieties since this started. Its why we were incensed about the lack of urgency going on at the virgin islands. The situation today is no more bleaker than it was the day Louisville was picked over us. UConn really only has till exit fees dry up to find a way out. After will watch as Ollie, and Diaco move on and they are replaced by coaches making 500k, and looking for their next job when hired.
I've never bought into "uconn is going to be fine" talk. Our position is perilous and I think we've somehow convinced ourselves it isn't too bad due to the dual national championships of this past spring.[/QUOTE]
I "like" your post because it is a candid assessment of where we are. UConn won't "be fine" until we escape the AAC. We can never stop pushing Warde et al that change is, not only necessary, but a job evaluation criterion (at this point maybe the only one).
I am confident that Diaco will do a good job. We already know the quality of KO and Geno. Coaching is solid. Now Warde must get up every damn day and engage in strategy to get out of the gulag. Until now, Warde et al have gotten the benefit of the doubt concerning CR. It has been stated that this is out of our control or that is out of our control etc. As I have posted, though - while failure is an orphan, success has a thousand fathers. Right now we are in a "failure" phase of CR and benefit of the doubt has been granted. Failure has been blamed on things out of our control. Nobody has come forward to say this could have been different if only "I" did... Nor would you expect it. However, rest assured, if the B1G or another P-5 conference called tomorrow, UConn's top brass would be elbowing their way to the front of the press conference to beam in the klieg light of publicity. (And I bet Blumenthal would show up too.) But now the rubber has met the road . Now's the time to perform.
