Subject: Re: UMass hires coach Author: Son of Eli [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:30:27 12/04/24 Wed In reply to: Ivy wanna be 's message, "UMass hires coach" on 09:59:26 12/04/24 Wed Great news for Yale. Vicki Chun should immediately get to work in giving Reno a contact extension. He is one of the top coach’s in Yale’s illustrious history. Let’s not forget that not that long ago Yale had lost 14 of 15 to Harvard. Now they’ve won three in a row and six of the last eight. Yale can’t afford to lose him.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: UMass hires coach Author: voy vey [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:19:47 12/04/24 Wed It's clear that Reno does not view his current job as a "lifetime appointment" the way Cozza, Restic, and Murphy apparently did. If he continues to succeed, he'll be gone sooner than later. If he doesn't continue to succeed, it's a moot point. Coaching contracts are essentially in pencil; a long-term extension wouldn't prevent him from leaving for an attractive FB$ job. And then we'd be left with the horror of Ms. Chun hiring his replacement... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: UMass hires coach Author: Son of Eli [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:37:58 12/04/24 Wed That’s exactly what I want to avoid. A contract extension would increase the buyout and also increase the stakes for Reno in giving up job security. I know it is by no means a guarantee to keep Reno, but it would strengthen Yale’s hands. Plus there’s always the old adage to consider that people quit their bosses, not their jobs. Perhaps Reno feels unappreciated. A contract extension can rectify that too. Yale has managed to keep James Jones by giving him a lengthy contract extension, and he is arguably more marketable than Reno. They can keep Reno too if they put the same effort into it.

I agree that Reno has done a fine job at Yale. But it doesn't look like he's going anywhere now. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
