I'm not sure if new/additional position or replacement position.

... and no, there is no other football related job posted yet.

Interesting

Why do I have a weird feeling that Balis might be gone? and we have somebody new in place that we won't hear about until signing day, to go along with the assistant that's hired from the posting above?

Do you wake up and take depressants?

I think it's more like Balis is still restructuring the S&C program. There has been a very visible lack of S&C progress with hoops the past few seasons. If Diaco had been replaced I would say Balis would most likely be on the move.

Hopefully they are enhancing their S&C team with additional support.

The fact that the OC position hasn't been posted is interesting. Do they usually wait to post it until they have the candidate in mind and the posting is a formality?

That has been past practice...

So kind of like white smoke from the Vatican...when we see it posted we know someone has been selected. And as long as there is no smoke....someone may still get fired. (see what I did there?..lol).

Maybe we're targeting one of those FBS guys still tied up in their playoffs who like to win 52 to 42.

Probably more likely that someone working under Balis landed a S&C lead gig elsewhere and the position on the UConn staff needs to be filled before off-season workouts kickoff.

Balis turned out to be inferior to the guy who was here - another Diaco used car sales job!

I want a speed coach. 50% of their time should be on speed drills - like dragging parachutes.

I am not sure I agree.

I have a Mississippi State fan at work (yes...we do have those in Atlanta) who talks about how their conditioning has gotten worse since Balis left. He said their teams get worn down easily now. Of course...the players have changed...but Mississippi State fans loved Balis.

You couldn't be more wrong. inferrior to the guy who was here before him? The kids couldn't do the minimum reps on pro day if I remember. Could it be the players in the system or the system itself and has nothing do do with S&C?

You truely show how
Much of a moron you are every time you strike the keyboard in this forum. Jerry Martin was replaced as the full time football S&C guy by Pasqualoni who brought his own guy with him from the Cowboys! It has been posted here a BUNCH of times.

If Matt were to leave it would be for a better opportunity. Certainly not for his immense contributions to UCONN. He is one of the best in the business. Between Matt and Nancy Rodriquez, (nutrition) these young men get into tremendous shape.

It's so obvious when your responses are of "click bait" quality.

Of all the things this team was this year, tired and weak, were not ways I would describe them.

 

[weyuo]

Balis is the only one of the staff that should be retained. The rest, if you can find better, replace them.

How about slow and plodding.

Balis is the head of the whole department, So it sounds like one of the assistants got another job or something. Balis isn't going anywhere
