And our new DC will be...

Chan Gailey.

I'm calling it right now - one of PP's buddies from his Cowpokes days...

i was thinking gdl to dc and bring in sprano as oc. then bring in spaz for something and we can all take turns each others asses.

the funny thing is, for a 1 year rental. i'll take him. he was at gtech not to long ago so he atleast knows that kids like sugar and beer when they get recruited.

Except they were never in Dallas @ same time... But Gailey did coach a game @ Memorial Stadium in 2002.

People joke about GDL moving to defensive coordinator (he has experience as a DC), but sign me up for that right now. If that is the only way we get a new offensive coordinator then I will take it.

The football board is so miserable right now because we have no hope for next season and the only way to create hope is to shake up this staff. If we are stuck with P and P is so glued to GDL that he can't coach without him then his move to the defensive side of the ball will at least bring about some changes that will give us some reason to have hope. We desperately need hope.

If he can do for the defense what he's done for the offense we won't have to complain about close losses anymore.

GDL is an expert at keeping offenses out of the endzone. He might be a defense savant. He is also on record that the best way for this team to win is with defense, he might be pining to be a DC.

I rather have Hank as the DC his defense was pretty solid and GDL as the water boy yep I said it.

 

[uconnbill]

GDL should be made assist head coach and tight end coach and leave it at that. Bring in a new offensive coordinator and running backs coach

I liked that post so much that i "unliked" it so i could "like" it twice.

Of course, the better option would be to use him as a tackling dummy.

Prefer that they try to bring in Ken Wisenhunt. Perfect new OC

Hank is the AHC can he recommend himself for the job. Or can he not do both?
He has proven he can do the job, great bio and been here 12 years.

Would be a great pickup, but he'll have a lot of job offers, including pro offers.

 

[ZooCougar]

We won't get any name that is high quality or well known. Nobody established wants to sign up for a one year thing at a school that doesn't even really have a conference for 2014 and beyond.

 

[Nostical]

DC will either be an internal promotion or an old dog for a year e.g. Spaziani. WM knows that next head coach will need to choose his own staff and won't be spending big money to attract a big name yet. I see the next head coach being a big name with a bigger budget for assistants to coincide athletically with the SH push on the academic side.

I'll go out on a limb and will face palm myself as soon as I hit "Post Reply".

The next DC will be PP.

Love this post. GEL is definitely expert. Surprised he can look others in the eye after stealing from the good people in Connecticut for the last two years. But, then again, PP does the same thing.

OOUCH! For you on the face palm and the same for the rest of us should your prediction come to be...

It's doesn't matter. No guy will come in unless he thinks he has a chance to be HC in short order. Otherwise, he knows he's hopping on a sinking ship for a very short ride. Of course, that assumes normal logic with an AD who actually has the balls to make a decision rather than posing to collect a fat pay check. My biggest fear is we win 4,5 games and bald headed dunce thinks he can escape responsibility for making a decision.

Blue, just reaching out here not scolding. But does your description of our AD make you feel intelligent? Warde nor Susan got where they are because they are dunces. Both were thrown to the dogs, pun intended by timing. He has not been here long enough to deserve this kind of slander period.

We as Uconn fans are all hurting by the turn of events the PAST administration has left us in. Hathaway deserves your wrath more than Warde. Please do not forget, or do some research on just how powerful Larry McHugh is. Warde did not hire our present coaching staff but is bound by contract and ethics to let them see next season. That and also at a state school in a state that is broke $$$$.

Paul will be hiring the new coach or moving people around to fill the void not Warde or at best with his approval. As for nobody wanting to come in with out becoming a HC in short order. There are many out there in the lower divisions looking to move up, just like every coach that has passed through any program. Don Brown did not start his career as a DC looking for the HC job.

Maybe I am just too old to understand that maybe you are too young to do the same.

No Warde needed to fire PP already. Show some fortitude and determination. Keeping PP is malpractice.

 

[Srqhusky]

Hank Hughes bio states he lead the big east in defense when he was dc. Good enough for me

I'll keep it simple, fire him and hire who? In our situation...
Do you not get we are a state school $$$$$. Without a conference...
Can you cough up the ching to buy out his contract this before given a chance to put his players on the field?....

Perhaps so. In my world, you are expected to perform and your performance is measured by outcome. I would beg to differ on a couple of points. First, there is no correlation necessarily between where people have managed to climb and practical intelligence and performance success, especially the further you are removed from competitive business. Education is a classic. I know plenty of Masters and PHD folks that are such plain dumb. Intelligent? Yes. Smart? No. I can distinctly point to a fair number if Harvard, Yale , Wharton B school grads who are frankly useless when it came to actually getting something done and making smart decisions. Some think they are just entitled to collect money and be praised because they came from an elite institution and others are very brilliant but suffer from analysis paralysis and incredibly poor decision making skills. So, my experience has always been the only way to know if somebody is good at something is by performance and outcome. In the case of managerial roles, leadership is an intangible but real attribute. It has nothing to do with intelligence per se, and everything to do with being able to have an objective or vision and getting others to be inspired and motivated to achieve the vision through the sum total of individual achievements working within a team.

So, in terms of assumptions about folks and credentials, they are informative but rarely do warrant suspending common sense standards of measuring success based outcomes. The problem I have is really a basic one. Neither deserve the benefit of anything other than being held to a standard of success. Both are classically adept at saying nothing concrete regarding vision or objectives. Neither commits their reputation to a self imposed measure of succes, at least not to public scrutiny (yet expect to collect large pay checks).

Compare JFK's statement about going to the moon, and what Warde and Susan have said in regards to anything. Read Susan's pathetic excuse of a letter and consider that. Imagine JFK saying, we're monitoring the soviet space program and we'll stick with conventional aviation programs for the time being. Is the space program the same as the sundry problems of a university? No, not in magnitude, but yes in species.

By "dunce" I mean to be scathingly dismissive, because the man has not earned my respect nor yours. He has shown no vision, no leadership and accomplished nothing. As for Ms. Herbst, the more I learn, the less I like. The technology park is a strong idea that has been around well before her arrival . She gets credit for Sheparding that. But, it suffers again from no strategic alignment. Where is Google, IBM, etc. in supporting or committing to this project? What happened to the research science park at the Rent? As far as sports, she has presided over an absolute dabacle, plain and simple.

Irrespective of whether they came in at a difficult time or inherited a mess, they get paid a lot of money to fix it. Time is one thing. Time frittered with no plan is another.

PS- I guarantee I'm older than you by a long shot unless you're nearing retirement. So, I suspect I have less tolerance or patience for a lot of things. Been around the block a few times and have seen this story unfolding in many contexts.

YOU - if need be! Paul Pasqualoni should never have had the chance to coach at UConn. He was (and is) a tired, old, retread. He's had two seasons to inspire some confidence in a program that was in pretty good shape when he arrived. He has failed miserably, turning off the fan base like a cancer.

And as far as $$$$ goes, either UConn is in or they're out, as a big time program. If its the former, then fire PP today. Period it's that simple.
