Whoa. Sucks to be Union.

Quite a shock if this is true. I would have thought the race was between Grillo and Bothwell, with maybe DiGiulian (the assistant) having an outside shot.
I wouldn't want to be the Union AD right now, but it's not impossible to find a decent coach this late. I recall another ECAC program that made a pretty good hire late in July about eight years ago...
reports are true, accepted yesterday, wants to tell Union players today and starts at Vermont tomorrow. 3 year contract at $100,000, had a one year deal at Union.
Casey Jones applied for Vermont. Good luck to him if he applies for Union also.
For his sake, I hope he doesn't get stuck with the Union job :-)
Why? It is a great stepping-stone job. :-D
