Carolina Panthers add Paul Pasqualoni to coaching staff

[ZooCougar]

That's death to a coach. Very few coaches can succeed in college if they don't have a passion for recruiting.

I honestly don't understand why a coach would take a job if he didn't love recruiting. And.... recruiting is a special skill. I know I wouldn't have the patience to court 16 year olds.

Mora seems to enjoy recruiting...and I think it's one of the reasons he went back to college versus NFL.

This is the book. It was pretty good for its time but is dated even now.

I seem to recall a scene in the book with Ed O. then the Ole Miss HC, on a treadmill before sunrise drinking a Red Bull with some Copenhagen in his lip. That’s intensity.

Pasqualoni developed feeder schools and he knew how to target kids.

Remember, it took Pasqualoni leaving to ignite Rutgers and Shady's recruiting. Greg Robinson didn't work Pasqualoni's schools and Shady got into them and Syracuse spiraled down and Rutgers improved.

PP was 61 when UConn hired him....Mora is 60.

Not saying anything about PP, but Mora is a young 60.

Yeah but Mora feels like he is 50 and Pasqualone he felt like he was 70.

Urban Meyer did

Urban Meyer was out of touch on his Own.

I think PP biggest mistake was making George DeLeone OC and ran the 1980's Syracuse offense which didn't work in 2010.

He is a nice man and had a young family at that time and was looking to put roots down.
I always wished him well after he left.

What was the score of the Michigan UConn game? Who coached that game?

Oh, he was touching.

Negative ghost rider. Rutgers was already recruiting better. Pasqualoni hadn’t been recruiting well for ages.

What was the score of the Towson/UConn game and the Buffalo/UConn game?

PP took his losing team to Louisville (who were having a great year) and beat them as the ACC was deciding which team to take.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

Amazing...PP was not the coach UConn needed, but I'll wish him luck on the Panthers..

 

[Vowelguy]

He wasn’t a good fit for us, but if he didn’t get results he wouldn’t keep getting gigs.

Sorta yes. But capt red pants is kinda a counter example.

Oh not really. He got lots of gigs, lots of good gigs. and it took quite a while for him to stop getting opportunities.

 

[raf46]

Panthers are doomed !

He peaked in Danbury, or some may give him Syracuse. But definitely spoiled fruit (no pun intended) when he got here. But good luck to the man still working at that age.
