Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLet me spell this out for you so you understand. I think if this coach wanted that, he would already have done that. The question is whether he wants to return to CT where he has roots. If so, there are only two jobs. UConn and Yale. And IMO, Yale is the better gig with more upside. UConn is stuck in a crap conference on an aging campus in the middle of nowhere. You aren’t getting kids to go there over BC or BU, but if you find the right kid, you’ll get them to choose Yale. Will they be top 10 and compete for a Natty? Of course not. But neither will UConn.
Fully understood and I agree. UCONN is actually the one with more upside given where it's been lately. But as the HC is new the spot is unlikely to open soon. He had that opportunity and turned it down. Lots of people want to return home but in a career like college coaching that's much more difficult. You go where the opportunities are and in CT there aren't many.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYale is a step back. He's turned Princeton into a legit national player - top 25 team last 2 years with 2 tournament bids. They were undefeated in the ivy league this year. Why go to Yale from that? There's only downside. So he goes there and does well, so what?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot following your logic. How exactly is their only downside going to a program that you can build and improve (as he did at Princeton). What’s his upside at Princeton now? What happens when they don’t win the league or make the tourney next year? Not accomplishing both next year at Princeton can be viewed as downside, no?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the OP but he's proven he can accomplish something at the Ivy level. No need to prove it again. His next logical step is a big D1. He is still quite young. So he comes here and turns Yale around, then what? Will he ride his career out at Yale just to live in CT? Or is he interested in progressing in his coaching career? Other than UCONN - which he turned down - there is nowhere for him to go in the state. Maybe at another time he'd be interested in UCONN but he wasn't last year.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf he comes and turns Yale around and turns them into a perennial “power”, then he’s proven a lot about his coaching/recruiting abilities actually. Seems that having done that at two schools would be a major feather in his cap and much bigger opportunities would come his way. Maybe however coming back to CT is most important to him? More important than what any of us here seem to think. It’s his life. Wish him well whatever the case may be.
