UAA has a job that needs a coach. Miami has a bunch of coaches that need jobs. Someone should put all these folks in a room and just get this deal done. UAA can sign co-head coaches and split the salary 50/50. When you're in UAA's position, you need to think creatively. Employing both as the head coach will also help drive down unemployment.

They had to re-open their coaching search last time the job was open and come up with six new candidates after people in Anchorage didn't like any of the four finalists. I could see them re-opening the position again.

At the time I though UAA made the right choice, thinking outside the box. Could Corbett or anybody have gotten thru our struggles better? That's worth a pitcher or two.

Two canidates said no, seemingly due to lack of support and or $$$. What exactly is going to change?
