2014 UConn Coaching Staff Announced

[Chin Diesel]

Strength & conditioning are extremely important. Remember back in August when PP said at least 10 members were out of shape. That is the coaches fault. But, we need a strength & conditioning guy to stay on top of the players in the offseason.
It is of paramount importance these players add strength and report in top shape in August.

Another major role te S&C coach plys is mentor to the playersand liason to the coaching staff.

During the off-season the S&C coach has the most contact with the players.

Diaco must've remembered the huge holes the Donald waltzed through when Virginia got whooped 45-10 at the Rent!

I get what you're saying, and I am glad we retained Foley, but if you re-watch the Virginia game at the Rent ... several of DB's 1st quarter runs would have gone for no gain or TFL's ... if not for the fact that it was DB. I rightly predicted a win that night ... I just didn't expect that UCONN would dismantle Virginia's D so thoroughly.

Director of Strength and Conditioning job is open. That sucks.

This is the job posting: http://www.uconnhuskies.com/school-bio/job-openings.html

As of now - Jerry Martin is still listed on the staff so I'm not sure if this effects him at all.

Hmmm.... maybe not.

I guess now the players can crank the music when lifting and working out.

A couple of thoughts.

First, he will only be unemployed for as long as he wants. His resume speaks for itself and there's always job openings somewhere.

And secondly, was he really "fired"? Much like Wade Phillips with the Texans last week. These guys are let go, released, whatever.

To me fired implies being sh!tcanned due to job performance. Coaching staff turnover with a new coach is a whole different story.

This Ernest Jones guy... dig him and what he's saying. My energy bucket is filled with wanting to go out and engage in my own community now.

Said the Virginia staff wasn't really expecting that type of environment at The Rent. And that UConn beat them pretty good.

 

[Chin Diesel]

OC Cummings says UConn will run plays that suits the personnel. Like that.

Also said that UConn will run every screen imaginable. I hope that works out well for him because in the past, nothing guaranteed a face palm more than UConn trying to run WR screens.

Yup, we have to try to get that back if P didn't kill it for good. The Baylor beat reporter said the same thing in print. And that the student section was as good as any in the Big 12.

I heard Pasqualoni say all the right things and then do the opposite. Excuse me if I wait to see actions instead of respond to words.

Foxx did pretty well on a few screens late last year.

The difference is Diaco will remember he said it. Besides, we get the ball to start the second half.

C'mon, Pal. The earlier ya get on board, the better the ride!

I'm with you on the wait and see approach.

C'mon, Pal. The earlier ya get on board, the better the ride!

And a little hope never hurt anyone either.

So as fans we have to mash the two together and "Hope, Wait and See".

With respect to strength/conditioning coach Jerry Martin n DFO Tim Pendergast being gone I heard fit wasn't good going fwd#UConnFootball

Too set in previous ways/culture?

PP was a metronome. The Ben Stein character in "Ferris Bueller" created more excitement. It will fall apart if Diaco doesn't win. But, it's off season, and "buzz" is necessary. Actually, in our case, more than necessary.

I know they will get fixed but the spelling and grammar mistakes in this article are shockingly bad. Sometimes speed isn't always best.

Clearly, this is a voice to text translation. It will get fixed.
