Wonder if it’s to keep UVA and VT in same league. Clemson over VT all day. UVA feels like Big10.

The Oligarch is wrong. Reno might be on list. He’s not available and isn’t coming. Sammis would be incredibly underwhelming as HC hire. I hope he stays as OC. My guess, he becomes this decades TJ Weist. Although I think Sammis might get a HC down the road. Just don’t think his first...

I really don’t care why he left. I wonder if there was a way he could have coached the bowl game and then left. Was it UConn that said you’re out immediately? Was it CSU that said no, you either take this job now or we’re moving on? It seems almost every situation is handled different This...

I said disappointed…. You can be mad. But it’s not as personal as it is for players. And it’s not like UConn is the only team to lose its coach or still be looking. Many high profile P2 schools are still looking.

Not sure how many follow or followed Mora. After he took the job, but also after he changed the profile picture, he was actively re-posting Fagnano and Skyler praises. I get the whole Mora hate. As a fan, I’m disappointed. Hearing things he may have said also suck. But reality is, the only...

Reality is, we’ll have same challenges in FB if we make P4. The hurdles in FB are bigger and more expensive than BB. There will always be 10-20 programs that can get their guy regardless. Look at SEC where the coaches get poached by fellow SEC schools (see Kiffin). Fortunately, for BB...

That’s been our problem. Until Mora, or HC hires have been abysmal. You could see the rationale for each, but none panned out. PP- NFL, UConn guy, HS ties, college success Diaco- upcoming talent, Broyles recipient, high energy RE 2.0- cheap Mora- NFL, college success, intangible factors...

That’s my point. Viewership won’t remain high if 5 of the Top CFP teams are a shell of themselves. Viewers want to see best teams matchup against best teams. If players and coaches are sitting out, what’s the point? If the viewers start to have apathy towards the product, and viewership...

When the media partners start to push back because the CFP and bowls are a joke and nobody cares, You’ll see a change. Until then, business as usual.

Ask Michigan how that works.their coach is over his head I’d also like a coach with more than 2 seasons as OC. Need HC experience.

I like Sammis But let’s be real. He has been OC for two years. Prior to that he’s been OL coach. I am hoping we get someone with HC experience. If Sammis bolts, so be it. Hes not getting a HC job at the FBS level.

Don’t know source, but someone on X mentioned Brian Hartline from OSU

We’ve played that card. Now it’s whatever is the best coach we can get that: A) understands, accepts, and has the right experience to work with UConn’s Indy status B) can bring immediate credibility to recruits C) can see what made Mora successful and build on that as opposed to tear down and...

Clearly Mora didn’t ’Bleed Blue’! 😢

Are there people thinking UConn should leave BE for anything but P4? Only conversation in my mind is can we get fb only somewhere and keep BE for everything else. No way do you take bb out of BE for anything but P4.
