More like an "It rubs the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose" kind of a thing.

I'm struggling with Patterson's mustache. There's a fine line between Tom Selleck/Burt Reynolds awesome and some weird creeper that owns a white minivan with no windows... I'm trying to put him in the Ron Burgundy zone though.

He's a real renaissance man. He used to have a cooking show called "Death by Chocolate".

I thought we kept our director of strength and conditioning and were looking for an assistant? That makes me a touch nervous, just look at our combine numbers year after year. It's much more than an ancillary job.

Diaco should demand the firing of Mike Enright. Horrible media/public relations guy based on all of the errors and grammar mistakes in media guides and communications. Shameful when an English student at uconn could be a better leader in that department. It speaks volumes to the young talent of our university, but reflects horribly on the inept old-guard leadership.

And he has a perfect dismount from the soap box. All the judges, except the Russian judge, give him a 10. 4.5 from the Russian judge. :-/

Alabama's Scott Cochran? I don't have the link, but please see the 60 minutes piece on him... dude speaks his own language and has buckets of energy.

1.) Dig the staff. Can't wait for the blackout period to be over to get some more headlines and speculation of potential recruiting turnover. Even if we get no one, there'll be fodder to keep us interested. 2.) Foley coaching the O-line. Yes. Thank you.

Diaco must've remembered the huge holes the Donald waltzed through when Virginia got whooped 45-10 at the Rent!
 
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.
 
Diaco will fill that position. He said yesterday that Director of Football Operations, Player Personnel and Strength and Conditioning would be filled.

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.

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.

UConn has fired 2x National Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year Jerry Martin after 20 years in Storrs

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.
