    Spring game 4/21 @ 7 pm (Parking lots open @ Noon)

    If I had to guess, the time change is geared towards getting the students interested in going. Friday night drinking at the Rent followed by more drinking is much more appealing than waking up early on a Saturday morning for a scrimmage.

    2017 UConn Football Tailgating Survey

    I just filled mine out. Looks like they have some good ideas. Mostly out of my price range, but probably going after making the experience better for the big donors, which is good for business.

    He retweeted this yesterday so I assume he will announce on Wednesday.

    2017 UConn Football Coaching Staff (official)

    Have to imagine Curome Cox will also be handling Special Teams as he did at Coastal Carolina.

    Oh god I can't watch his highlights now without seeing that.

    2017 UConn Football Coaching Staff (official)

    Looks like there is still room for about $180K - $200K of salary for the final assistant. (I'm assuming Crocker will be handling DLs given his background)

    You can criticize Bob Diaco for a lot of things... his hair is not one.

    Yeahhh, the PP days are not exactly what I would chose as a benchmark.

    Diaco to Arkansas As DC??? or Nebraska.

    Well at least we can confirm Bob Diaco did a great job hiring his agent

    Obi Melifonwu in Matt Miller's 5 Names to Know

    3. S Obi Melifonwu, Connecticut A true sleeper at safety, Obi Melifonwu has the intelligence, range, tackling skills and leadership to be a starter in the NFL right out of the gate. He's gaining steam on my board (Round 3) and only rising with each viewing. The Senior Bowl is a great chance...

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    He may have a new gig pretty soon.

    Quick look at the pants situation and it's a match made in heaven:

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    I normally would say this is impossible because he made $550K at Minnesota, but after the Rhett hiring I can't use that one haha
  16. #BleedBlueFam

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    Right, the allocations will be different. The question that needs to be answered is where will the savings be invested and what kind of coaches you want on your staff. A good strength coach is going to run you $200-$250K right off the bat. $200K brings you down to #500 on the highest assistant...

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    I don't think that makes any difference. The savings are probably the biggest factor in affording the Diaco's buyout ($700K over 5 years is $3.5 million). Also it's been reported his pool is around $2 million although flexible: Edsall is working with a pool of about $2 million in assembling a...

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    Randy Edsall I presume?

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    So far we have hired 4/10 assistants and have $845K committed. We still need DC, ST, WR, OL, DL/DB (assuming DC is in charge of one or the other), and Strength. Using last year as a comp, those 6 positions took up roughly $1.4 of salary. That would put us about $200K over the pool. Now...

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    Taking into consideration our current financial situation (read: Diaco buyout), paying our OC $350K, and HCRE being a defensive guy, I think the DC will be less of a big splash and more of a bargain buy to fit the coaches' salary pool.

    Blaudschun: UConn Switching BC Home Game to Fenway?

    Look at it this way: We needed to fund the Diaco buyout somehow, and this is a perfect way to 1) add instant revenue via the guaranteed revenue and 2) cut operating costs from having the game day at the Rent. Most years I would be pissed. But if we're able to beat BC, why not do it right in Boston?

    Blaudschun: UConn Switching BC Home Game to Fenway?

    Your season tickets will have one less game and you will be charged for one less game.

    Who is Randy's coaching staff? Jan 12 is coming fast

    Andrew Breiner (Fordham HC) also follows them. My best guess is that this is more due to overlap in recruiting. Breiner does have UConn ties though and also follows Corey and Randy Edsall.

    Maybe when the institutions and programs make the same realization and stop oversigning, asking kids to grey shirt at the last second, and pulling offers altogether.

    UConn vs Yale - 1/7/17 - 3:05pm

    Considering last season's football attendance, I would estimate at about 300 tickets haha

    OC Job Posted - Assistant Football Coach/Offensive Coordinator (Specialist 2A)

    It's almost as if they are setting up the announcement for 12/27 since the 26th is the day Christmas is observed.

    Is Williams really the answer?

    I get what your saying, but I kind of remember Lyle McCombs as the guy who beat them. 169 total yards. McEntee went 2/7 with 20 yards and a short TD. I remember him more for this.

    The Too Early 2017 Roster Projections

    Yeah I was there and I agree. Think Diaco spun it the way he did to let him save face. He never got off his first read, the ball always came out late, and every throw was wobbling pretty badly. I'm actually excited to see how he progresses next year (assuming they get the TEs involved). With...
