Any updates on assistant coaches? interviews? anything?

[ktuck911]

this should be the next thread before we get back into recruiting.. gotta finalize that staff that closes the deal on the future athletes of our program...

He said interviews would take place next week.

I'm hoping we get a report tomorrow that Diaco was spotted at Newsome's last game.

Not to disappoint you but Coach D flew home last night.

Could this be true?

@goldendomer55: Bob Diaco to announce Notre Dame D-Line coach as his defensive coordinator at UConn. When will the ND bleeding stop?

I want ALL big-time Coaches on this staff! Keep loading them into the system Bob. This is the only thing that will change the tone/environment in this program and it needs to happen now!

Anyone wonder why Foley stayed after being demoted for GDL? With his success as an OL coach did he not have any offers? One would think he should have had options.

JMHO, but I think putting whaler's quote in your sig line is as tasteless as one might find the original quote itself. I just think you're better than that. Take it for what it's worth.

Two interesting things.

First, even the Memorandum of Agreement doesn't start until 12/16 (although the buyout clause if immediately effective).

Secondly, I read somewhere today that the pool of money for assistants was in the $300K-$400K range. The article didn't give any relevance. I don't know if that's an increase above existing asst coaches pay or any other meaning. Trying to find the link.

You are absolutely right.

I don't know if this carries any weight, but this seems interesting. The possibility that DJ Hernandez is added to the staff:

Tyler Lorenzen‏@TylerLorenzen
#UConn folks are certainly agreeing with my comments about @DjHernandez14 and Diaco's staff. Great football mind, lives for it.

Found this.

Manuel went out of his way to point out that UConn had put $300,000 to $400,000 into a pool for assistants before the search started and that the data puts UConn at the top of the AAC. There had been reports that Narduzzi pulled out because there wasn't enough money for assistants.

"There is money," Manuel insisted.

. The money was in addition to. There was one article that made it clear and one made it sound that's all tbd money they had

I can't find the article that clarifies that it is "in addition to".

It's definitely in addition to. Hugh's makes 250k alone.

 

[formerlurker]

@coachingsearch My sources are telling me Bob Diaco has offered HuskyFanDan the OC job at UCONN.

 

[UConn Dan]

I can't find the article that clarifies that it is "in addition to".

It was Duffy that made it clear:
Reports cited low assistant coach pay as the reason for Narduzzi's withdrawal, an assertion Manuel refuted. He said the Huskies had put an additional $300,000 -400,000 into the assistant salary pool.

what's wrong with you? he did the right thing by taking it out, and you poke him in the eye for it?

FWIW i enjoy your contrarian views, often agree with you. can we just leave this one alone and enjoy the #uptick?

I got a couple of ties for him to choose from.

Nothing worth rehashing.

God I wouldn't even know where to start.

I didn't really poke him in the eye. He and darren have had some odd obsession the past few weeks - it's really a bit confusing.
