barf. i want skip and spaz on this staff. if were going down hill, its going to be epic or lame and i want epic.

Wow... how'd Blauds miss that one. Never mentioned him. This will hurt recruiting in CT.

People wonder why SH/WM kept PP. Until conference realignment is settled - Big East is a wasteland.

Addazio is a good coach but BC is a graveyard.

Great recruiter who will be sniffing all over our back yard.

 

[RedStickHusky]

"The hiring of Addazio is the first significant move for Bates, who was hired this fall essentially to fire Spaziani and lead the search for a new football coach." But is Bates a rock star?

This is not good news. First, I held out hope that after one more year, if we move conferences, we would look at Addazio. Second, and more importantly, this will make BC more of a player for CT's best recruits. A coach with a background in FL, or PA, or NJ, might have had less of an impact on us.

I like him but just don't think he's a good fit for BC. They needed a coach of a different mold. To expand on it - I feel BC is a traditional program that needs a steady hand. Addazio is a much more ra-ra guy and a great recruiter who would be a better fit at an up and coming program.

yup. yup again...

... and somewhere Flipper is giving us the finger and laughing his arse off!

this is a good hire for them. this guy is a beast behind closed doors. bc was a funeral home and media blame game the past couple years. hes going to recruit his ass off, pump up fans and have brawls daily in practice. hes a warrior and his teams reflect it. bc football will win as soon as he touches campus. i'm not sure if he gets them top 25 good but they will be relevant very soon now. just remember warde sat on his ass and watched this happen. just wait until u see some kids transfer from temple. and i wonder who he brings staff wise and who he keeps. the next 2 months on the trail for uconn are very important as to what P will leave here after year 3, the diz may have a field day on us. i hope not...

As a student at UF in 2010, I watched Addazio coach the worst offense in the SEC under Urban Meyer. His play-calling was very similar to GDL's, and he's part of the reason Urban left UF.

I am thrilled that UConn will stay as far away from this guy as possible.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

If you read the BC board, they, uh, don't like it.

Thank you.

People around here are blinded by where the guy gets his driver's license and ignoring the reality that he was a decent recruiter but a horrible, horrible coach.

u mean espn is thrilled that uconn stayed away so uconn can continue to devalue itself with espn helping...

i have been exposed as to why i love this....

He's a bad coach. Period.

Not sure I buy the "that's part of the reason Urban left UF" - Agree it was a horrible offense that year but your saying Urban was forced out then? The head coach left because he couldn't fire the OC?

 

[uconNYC]

I think he is a Schiano type. He would have been good for UConn. We would have become delusional like Rutgers fans always talking about recruiting rankings and how we're going to be the USC of the east. I actually think that would be healthy for us because there has been no life in this program since Dan O graduated. Even the BCS year was not so fun.

I don't however think that is what BC needs. They are an established program and have strong recruiting links. I feel they needed a great gameday coach.

Where is this BC Board you speak of? I haven't seen much activity on a few I've seen. Can you point me to a link? Thanks

Addazio and Marrone are somewhat friendly (his son plays for Cuse)...Addazio ran out of ideas playing Cuse in the Temple game and lost the last 1/3 of the game badly...seems like a hire that can get BC to a minor bowl game...maybe that is what they need right now. Seems like he could be a pest in CT for you guys with his background. How do the CT HS coaches feel about Addazio?

could care less Steve A from Ct but I saw first-hand in October the man can motivate players . . . well maybe Don Brown can get Tyler Matakevich (sp?) to transfer here.

Great pick-up for BC. I played high school ball under Addazzio, and he is definitely as advertised. He will have the BC kids running through walls.

To BL and others who think he is out of play now for us, should we find a way to shed PP. Don't bet on it. This is one of the rare occassions where I actually have some inside information, and I can say fairly confidently that living and working in CT is his end.
