Addazio fired after 7 seasons at BC

[uconndogs]

Addazio is no world beater, but he took an absolute train wreck and corrected it very quickly. Then he played a little over .500 ball. Canning him is a bet on getting BC over the hump to compete for conference championships. I think the probability of slipping is much higher.

I knew Steve from his younger days as a teenager. He decent, honorable human being who was and is a good coach. BC got into the ACC because they are the big fish in the pond in New England and produce a lot of tv revenue. Unfortunately, that does not result in getting five star players which is very difficult to do in the East coast. The last truly Eastern team to win a national championship was Syracuse and that was during the period of segregation when the best black athletes were barred from teams like Alabama, LSU , and Flordia.

Football is easier and a better P5 fit at a State University

BC - deceitfully - foisted themselves ahead of their Big East partners in 2003. And lied. And then tried to blackball The University of Connecticut from a position in that conference. They’re creeps. If a sinkhole opened up in Newton & sucked that school down to hell - Jesuit priests First - that would be a good revolting recourse for our pain & suffering.

BC produces nothing at all. Good academic school but athletically, it hasn’t done anything of note in many years and has a minimal following in the Boston market. It is hard to find game recaps in the Boston Globe, let alone real coverage.

I just spent my whole weekend listening to FSU fans complain about Syracuse, Boston College and Wake Forest ruining the ACC.

If we can turn UConn FB and men's basketball around maybe we can replace BC, WF or Syracuse in the ACC. I am still hopeful.

Just think how much harder it would have been for BC had UConn made it into the ACC.

Addazio made $2.6 million in 2019. He ain't coming to work with Edsell for $300k. LOL.

Not him.. maybe one of his assistants.. we currently don't have anybody primarily focusing on one of the bigger issues on our defense, linebackers... We're working with a staff built like a D2 school right now... a coach being the OC and manning OL???? and was never a OC before? at this level no less... and a DC coaching LB's. I feel good about our DC, but let him place his primary focus there... Get a LB coach in here

If we were in the ACC, the fan base and state of CT as a whole would have demanded a competitive basketball and football program. The AAC has led to mostly indifference.

Addazio did a wonderful job with a wonderful job with Aaon Hernandez when he stole him from the Huskies and put him AH under his wing.

Hmmmm, you agree with someone on facebook that your former HC and then current HC "can't recruit" and then you are surprised when there are repercussions? Addazzio may have been a dick to deny him a free ticket, but you can't expect in this word to publicly crap on your old boss and nothing comes from it. I wouldn't have done what Addazzio did - but I also wouldnt have come to the stadium expecting a free ticket once I took my shot at the current HC.

unless you look at Rivals which always had them higher on the recruiting sites due to a Rival individual who went there and always gave them a bump in the ratings.

hmmm

I’m not a “social media” maven. The kid hit LIKE on Facebook. What is Addazio looking through who’s hit LIKE on someone’s Facebook post.

that’s just weird

It was brought to his attention, however its still petty as hell. They poured gasoline on a static shock.

Its a small world. Addazio hits "like" on a post that says Josh Keyes is a crappy LB and let me know how that's suppose to play out.

Have strong opinion, then be ready for what happens next.

I'm not sure I would have behaved the same way as Adazzio, but if I am Keyes, how could you be bothered, surprised or offended on the boomerang?

It kind of fits in with in the younger mindset. Its almost like they feel freedom of expression goes hand in hand with freedom from consequences.

I still think Addazio looks REAL SMALL here however but i get what you are saying.

I thought the Andre Williams was more troubling.

Yup

 

[huskysupporter]

Anyone here who wouldn’t take him as OC/ associate HC is insane. I don’t care what his offenses were ranked. Another real adult in the room would do wonders, he would recruit the area well, and his approach jives with Edsall who we are stuck with. If he is getting buy out money maybe he doesn’t mind making 300k to live where he wants to.

he will get better offers.

 

[Stainmaster]

Unbelievably, after all the past decade has shown, people are still overvaluing UConn as a landing spot for coaches.

 

[Bongo Fury]

He will likely find a good spot. Adazzio is a CT guy who is proud of his CT roots if you have ever heard his interviews.
