Bad reasons to not fire Randy NOW

[ZooCougar]

Why not the Chesney guy who just kicked our asses?

 

[Yup!]

how would we get Dino Babers?

He’s on the hot seat. If he were to get fired he would be interesting has HCing experience and has an exciting offense

If we fired Randy during the season, who is the interim head coach?

does it really matter at this point?

 

[Yup!]

Spanos just because of his experience

 

[ZooCougar]

New Mexico State. Formerly the dregs of the dregs actually looks good tonight. We can do this.

 

[Purple Stein]

no one else is qualified to be interim.

that's the only legit one I can somewhat agree with

I will take over as interim. My fee is 100k and a car.

I can’t promise any wins but I do promise to get out of the way when we hire a new coach as long as I get to keep the car.

New England guy, been a head coach for over a decade, yet just 44.... Here is his hiring press conf...initially signed for 5 years

We need a guy tomorrow. Not next year. We are done with “next years”. Weist is likely available. If he works out, you keep him. If he doesnt, move on. I guarantee Weist would have the offense producing after 4 or 5 games. There is no salvaging this disaster by waiting. The best we can do is avoid more massive damage being done. We need a high energy, motivational guy. He’s the guy for this moment IMO. I’d take Moorhead in a second but I don’t think he’s leaving a 900k job to jump into this mess.

Is there any precedent of firing a coach and hiring his replacement mid-year? It would be ... Awkward

You are most likely right, however, that is a call that needs to be made when the time comes.

and hopefully he can bring his QB with him. Unbelievable that he is just a freshman. Makes me wonder what our freshman QB can do if we ran read option. We can at least give him a "wildcat" role just to see how it goes.

I would like Mo about ead a lot but as someone said not sure he would want to come here unless he had all the say for the program, unlike Miss St.

How about Charlie Weis Jr, He is offensive Coordinator at USF Zach Kittley
Zach Kittley Offensive Coordinator at Western Kentucky and was at Houston Baptist before.
Corey Dennis at Ohio St as Quarterback coach
Brian Brohm Offensive Coordinator at Purdue

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Moorhead is making 1.15mm this year. I don't see UConn as his next opportunity.

 

[HC1987]

Chesney isn't leaving HC for UConn......it's a step-down in many ways except for financially

Fort the ead, or go home.

Um...that's a pretty big thing to most people.

 

[HC1987]

Um...that's a pretty big thing to most people.

It is of course, but HC offers a lot more to Chesney than the added UConn $$$....better academics/kids to coach, facilities, quality of life etc.....the UConn $ is not worth the headaches....he'll leave HC but it won't be to UConn

 

[BapeKidd88]

Addazio may not be at Colorado State very long…

It was always absurd for him to leave the Northeast.

Not sure what you're implying by better kids to coach…And better facilities?!!! You might want to visit the Storrs campus before you throw that one out there. Holy Cross having better facilities is beyond laughable. The only better facility Holy Cross has over UConn is the church on campus.

LOL, who is choosing HC over UConn for academics? It is a glorified catholic high school.

And by facilities are you referring to the aged bleachers next to the ballpark?

And quality of life in...Worcester???

-It’s too expensive-it’s practically free

-we might lose every game this season-we probably will lose every game no matter what

-nobody will take us seriously-nobody takes us seriously

-all of the talented players will leave-ummmm if there are any, they are going into the portal anyway

-recruits will decommit- they will eventually anyways

-it will hurt attendance-haha

What am I missing?

Nothing. This a great breakdown. All we need now is AD David Benedict to see this and make his move. Start the national search for a new head coach early.

He should be on the phone today. But I doubt he is.

What more does he need to see that the current situation is completely unacceptable?

Excuses and being OK with mediocrity which I always thought wasn’t OK with being an athletic program at the University of Connecticut. But guess I’m wrong?
