Joe Moorhead's profile is 10x Edsall's profile right now, even after his firing. He'll be snapped up as a HC soon, but for next year, he's a likely candidate as an OC at a top 10 school.

This is likely correct, but if we can find a decent amount of money to make him OC and heir apparent to Edsall we should certainly try. As for the "if he's coach in waiting what are we waiting for line," the answers are the first to occur of time or a good excuse.

This is the interesting conundrum for Edsall. Bring in Morehead (seems unlikely, but okay less contemplate) or young Breiner and you are bringing in two guys that have successful stints as former head coaches. Therefore, either one immediately becomes a defacto coach in waiting. If the presented the opportunity for either as OC, does Edsall pull at Diaco and pass?

I think it's unlikely Morehead would come here as OC even if he had waited for years to work with our head coach. I hope I'm wrong. But it's also easy to see how without any history that sends the wrong message to everyone unless Edsall is being terminated, which I don't see happening.

Breiner, however, should happen the moment Morehead turns us down. Edsall's not going to be threatened as much by someone Breiner's age whose only prior head experience is at Fordham. Edsall knows he isn't here forever. He either turns this around in the time he promised Benedict, at which point he's mid-60s and looking for his endgame, or he fails and goes away. Breiner is a good guy to have on staff either way, and at his age and from the northeast would presumably be a reasonably priced option.
 
hypothetically- if this happens. what happens to Guifre? Will he be happy to go back coaching strictly the OL? I’d really like to keep him on the staff.

As the defense counties to mature and improve, I hope that the offense opens it up a little more like Lashlee’s offense.

Agree with all points, but I do think Breiner would have the core fans talking and talking and talking about the what if's at the end of the 2020 season.

Thing is, if Randy views himself as the guy to restore this program and get it to a sustainable place, then part of that picture has to be finding a Breiner in the next few short years. There is no one currently on the staff that really meets that definition .... at least from our limited point of view (ie we aren't in the locker room).

Why the hell would Joe subject himself to working under Edsall for 500K when he can sit home and collect 3 million a year from MSU for sitting on his ***

He would still collect the $3M. It would be $2.5 from MSU and $500K from UConn. At least using your numbers.

Some of these posts are crazy. Why would Joe Moorhead come here to be OC/coach in waiting? You fire Edsall on his arse and come up with whatever money it takes to hire Moorhead.

Not every former head coach lands at a new head coaching job after being fired. Most of the time they spend one to three years as a coordinator again before getting another shot.

In the case of Moorhead, the chances he lands here as the new OC are extremely low. I don't think many of said otherwise. He'll get an opportunity at a P5 program to be an OC again in very short time. It would have to be pretty unique set of circumstances to lure him back to Storrs.

Anyway, I dont think AD David Benedict will dump loyal Randy. There will be no need to hit refresh 10k times like we all did during the Hurley sweepstakes.

Loyal Randy? Is this a joke? It's hard to pick up sarcasm on a message board.

Unique set of circumstances? How about having a dinosaur laughingstock as a head coach who is overseeing arguably the worst program in America.

Its also difficult to tell if you are talking to someone that actually watches college football

Why would I assume you don't watch college football?

Was loyal Randy a joke? Were you born after 2010?
 


With that seemingly done I’m interested to see what happens w/ Rossomando as this moves forward (does he stay or does he go).

Moorhead wouldn’t come here. That’s a fantasy.

the craziest thing is people think he would come here for $300,000 as a couch in waiting. OC job here probably pays close to the least amount in FBS. Also we don’t have a conference and have been utterly horrendous. A guy like Joe Moorehead will have 75 better opportunities and that will include head coaching gigs.

Who thinks he's coming here for 300k? It would have to be big money...like highest paid OC in the G5 for starters and of course when that happens (which it wont) he we obviously be HC in waiting...as in waiting 10 more seconds (or at most one season).

The real opportunity is Breiner, who also coached under Randy already...can he come here to be the OC. Would he want too?

What could possibly give anyone the idea this administration will put any money towards coaching salaries?

i wonder if Breiner will follow Moorehead to whatever school he goes too. Should at least give him a call.

Indeed, there should be no faith in the idea the school has a checkbook for this opportunity.

i would be on the phone and offering 2.5 million and an increase in staff salary for his assistants. Then would send Edsall packing. One can dream.

Come on man, UConn is arguably only the next to worst program in America thanks to our former Yankee Conference buddies in Massachusetts.

You called Randy Edsall "Loyal Randy." How on earth is someone supposed to tell if that's a joke or not? It's like calling Kanye West, "humble Kanye."
