He may be one of the worst National Championship winning coaches ever.

He should if he loses to SMU today. He’s not the worst coach in the floor though today.

Remember when the NBA wanted him as head coach?

I wish it would have happened. Would've been fun to watch.

He should be.

That program has been on a clear downtrend every year Calhoun's been gone.

He’s the best example on why not to judge a coach based on winning with players he didn’t recruit. His UConn team also got really hot in the tournament in a down year in basketball.

He’s esentially the basketball version of Orgeron but lucked into a historic tournament run

You shouldn't disrespect Kevin Ollie like that.

There is no better comparison for Kevin Ollie than Gene Chizik.

He should be shite canned before the final buzzer, with Security escorting him off the court.

He's embarrassed that program

Has a program ever gone from elite to complete shite this quickly? They won it all in 2014 and now they're one of the worst teams in a mid-major conference.

Didn't they have a mediocre year where they were middle of the pack in conference?

They beat us twice. We only lost 3 games total (the other being @ Wisconsin).
I think Kentucky would've beaten us in the title game. They SHOULD have beaten us in the SECTCG but their PG slipped on the final play.

They have no money to fire him. They had to rehire Randy Edsall at $1mil a year they are so broke.

For all the money in CT, most people went to private liberal arts colleges, so the booster base is weak.

Uconn hadn't had a losing season in 30 yeads before last year. They are now at back-to-back losing seasons. Pathetic.

That UConn team lost some bad games, but they also had like 7 top 25 wins or some shite going into the tourny and was responsible for 2 of UFs 3 losses.

I was about to ask if someone knew what their financial situation was. I read Ollie would be owed about $10 mil if they fired him, so they're pretty much screwed with whatever decision they make.
