“Former UConn quarterback Dan Orlovsky reportedly had discussions with the Carolina Panthers and the Indianapolis Colts for an offensive coaching role, according to ESPN colleague Adam Schefter”

Hail Mary if needed

Dan seems like a really good natured dude. I watched him on Dan Patrick last week slinging the football trying to hit the infield from the Giant's spring training home in Scottsdale. He seems to be a well respected football analyst and is another good representative from and for UConn. He seems to have a good gig at ESPN.

He’s very well liked by the average fan that doesn’t even know where he played. I’ve heard several people say they like his work.

Watched him enough on ESPN's studio shows the last 2 years. Seems to really know his stuff and is a wiz with the breakdowns of Xs & Os. Really has raised his status there.

Dan Patrick discussed Orlovsky on yesterday's show. He is a frequent guest on the show and DP thought it was only a matter of time before Danny O. becomes a coach. On the show they often bust his chops on his safety with the Lions when he stepped out of the back of the end zone. He always handles it well.

I love the way he breaks down plays. He is informative and passionate about football.

Dan O has been on many of these shows, I used to listen to him on the Pat Mcafee show and got a chuckle when he and Darius Butler were on together. He has a great gig, not sure why he would get into coaching.

I agree, especially with young kids. He can stay at ESPN as long as he wants, why roll the dice on a coaching job that can be temporary while displacing your family.

Dan O basically coached while as a back up in the NFL for what 8 years or something like that. Plus we was behind some pretty good offensive talent/coaches while in the league. He's a man of the game and if he wants the coach he will have the opportunity, but I think he's killing it at ESPN and he's well liked pretty much across the board as an analyst there.

Didn't DanO just sign a new deal? With a nice bump, I'm sure.

He's a good listen on the NFL and a really smart guy. His food takes on the other hand, are truly insane

Any examples of his food takes. He has also taken criticism for saying that Joe Montana is not one of the top 5 QBs.
