Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

[The Viking]

Good thing for us is if there is expansion in the NFL, his connection to UConn may get us in as the next team.

 

[ZooCougar]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

 

[UConnJim]

You sure about that option? Report: Former Montana State OC Taylor Housewright 'taking a step back,' won't join Akron

Welp…..

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

i am sure the local beat writers will be all over this and get to the bottom of this story

 

[CCSUblue]

This close to spring ball, there better be someone already in place.

 

[huskymedic]

Welp…..

Timing indeed sucks @ times.

 

[huskymedic]

We better not lose Welliver

[Bomber36]

Thank you god!

 

[firstnline]

Dawn of a new Era. Maybe this is why it's been so quiet around the program.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Losing?

 

[Exit 4]

#JasonWittenforOC

Got to be top of the list

This is a good thing for the program. He represented the program well, so I won't say "good riddance," but this is our chance to improve the program.

Ideally need to hire someone before spring practice. We have until the 24th. It is a short timeline, but I would be surprised if Mora hadn't been making calls long before this announcement.

Pretty sure that our Spring practice starts the day ( 3/19/24 ) before our Pro-Day ( 3/20/24 )... We better get moving on a OC.... Something tells me we've already got somebody in mind/place... just hasn't been made public yet...

 

[ktuck911]

Maybe Marc D'Amelio knows.. maybe we should ask him???

 

[Stinger92860]

Nick still listed on the website. Remember rule #1.

 

[Makryspost]

Good for him. And if the idea that we have connections to the NFL for coaches, we are a better looking spot for coach talent. Same as it works for players. Spin the story the right way

 

[JMick]

Timings bad. Result is good.

It'll be very interesting to see who we bring in and how long it takes.

Report: UConn OC Nick Charlton leaving for NFL job

UConn will have new coordinators on both sides of the ball this season.

[Buffett10]

This is great news! Wow what an unexpected boost to the day. I hope Mora learned his lesson and can bring in someone innovative and who can actually understand how to properly call plays based on the in-game scenario. Oh, and choose the proper QB1 for Week 1.

My thoughts go out to any Cleveland Browns fans out here, hopefully his impact is minimal on your team's results.

Who was the proper QB1?

 

[History Geek]

I wonder if Mora has been quietly looking and has settled on the replacement. It will be interesting to see how fast the listing comes out and what the criteria is.

If I am Fagnano, I probably am concerned right now.

If Im Fagnano, Im updating my resume

 

[storrsroars]

Ignoring UConn for a moment, this is the epitome of a Browns hire.

 

[WNConn]

I wouldn't be shocked if Sammis becomes the OC and we look for an OL coach.

 

[uconnfan68]

While I know Charlton wasn't the best, losing your OC in March right before spring practice is not ideal for the program....

Just one more thing we have to forget. Not ideal, BUT... worth it!

While I know Charlton wasn't the best, losing your OC in March right before spring practice is not ideal for the program....

This. If you wanted him gone, you wanted him gone not later than signing day. NOt on the verge of spring practice.

 

[ThabeetDown]

Who was the proper QB1?

Uhhhh the guy who ended up starting the majority of the season? If you thought Fagano was the answer then you might want to re-evaluate how you watch the sport.

 

[ThabeetDown]

One name I’d love to see as a replacement is Bill Lazor. Was Mora’s QB coach the last year in Seattle. OC at UVA, Dolphins, Bengals, and Bears since (and an analyst for one year at Penn State). Actually did a good job as play caller for the Bears, but Matt Nagy was the problem there. Spent last season as an assistant for the Texans. Unsure if he’d want to be an OC again but always tough to leave the NFL.
