Wholley, 3rd time? Seemed like he and Captain Lou did not mesh. Always liked his enthusiasm for recruiting and UConn.

Don’t forget Jon was also the LB Coach under DC Don Brown when he was @ UConn and who is also looking to put a staff/class together as well.

I feel like I am finally waking up from the long, horrible dream. A legitimate coaching staff coming together! Can’t wait to hear what the next dominos are!! !

I agree, Mora is moving very strategically here. From what I’m hearing he wants to keep as many kids home, which in turn would also bring fans ( local kids friends and family ) to the games. Marinelli as most of you know has a great offensive mind so it’s a plus plus.

@Yup. Keep the updates coming. Love the updates without giving away too much.

I’m trying… lol that’s how I’m getting the info, he’s giving me information without giving me too much. They’re doing their best to not leak anything to the public because Mora is trying to iron things out with the coaching staff. The introduction may be where most coaching staff will be announced, if not some.

Supposedly in the 12 team playoff proposal the top ranked G5 team would receive an auto-bid. So yes a one loss G5 team could get that bid.

It will be an easier path than being independent and receiving an at large bid.

Regarding the 12 team playoff… that’s not the world we live in yet.

That said, IF and WHEN that happens, I think your idea is overly optimistic. I think the only AQs will be for P5 teams. I don’t think there will be equity for G5 conference winners. 1 or (maybe) 2 spots will go to G5 (as at-large teams) but the rest will go to P5 at large.

I don’t think it makes a difference if we’re part of C-USA or MAC. If it bares out differently, then maybe that IS a reason to join up, but until then, we just need to focus on winning. Period. I’ll be happy when we’re actually in a position to get snubbed.

Angus McClure is an interesting one. I admit I know nothing about him but in his current bio on the Cal website they repeatedly state he’s one of the nations top recruiters. I’m sure it’s a bit of a puff piece but who knows. Anyone know more about him? Seems to have been a successful OL coach throughout his career.

Me too .. Can't wait to see what Lindy's 2022 College Football Predictions will say about UConn's coaching hire...
 
Not sure if his name has been brought up but I saw Michael Nysewander of Ole Miss being mentioned. Walk on at Alabama as player. Nice article on his playing time there.
