Coaching Issue?

[RSTuthill]

What kind of engineer were you Tuthill? Since when are two data points (in this case, seasons) represent a trend? You must have been turning knobs every time a process made a point of inflection. Tail chaser you. There are people in this thread that were slobbering all over Mora after becoming bowl eligible in 2022. Let the season play out.

Sorry, I have no clue what you are trying to say.

I don’t know where I heard that. I must’ve dreamed it. It’s not even close. View attachment 103365

You really can't judge the crowd size by taking a picture at halftime when people are on the concourse at the concessions, etc.

That looks like pregame before the team comes out of the tunnel.

Well, that was from a few minutes before kickoff, but I’ve been coming here for 20 seasons or so. There is no way there was ever over 30K in the stadium at anytime.

FPI is not a real authority...you really think that Maryland is one of the 30 best teams in the country? Phil Steele is who you should go by. He has them as 10th in B10 and not even Top 50 coming into the season. That's the authority I go by. Not some random number generator.

This Maryland team won 8 games last year, returns less experience this year. They will be around the same with a MUCH weaker schedule this year. This is a middle of the road B10 team who beat us by 43 in a game where we had 2+ months to prepare. Its not a good look and its not acceptable. At least to me its not. A loss is fine and absolute inhalation is not. There were many FCS teams that competed better against better teams this entire weekend.

Yeah, but how many inhaled the way we did?

Let’s get real. The coaching is at this point by any measure related to outcome and production, poor. I get bringing in a bunch of new guys doesn’t help, but so are a lot of other squads. There is nothing uniquely different at UConn than any other place, and many respects better than most. Excellent facilities, great school, very good market, nice campus, flagship, better funded than mid-tiers. There is no good excuse. None.

The pie that UConn gets for all sports from the Big East Basketball Conference is smaller than a chicken pot pie, $7 million in a good year. The football stadium is in decrepit condition and is 25 miles from campus on an abandoned WW2 airstrip, and the only reason it was built in the first place 20 some odd years ago is because the land was free, and the reason it was free is because nothing else can be built on it. How is that better than most?????

Because the land was free?

Wow, that’s quite a dark spin. The Stadium is very nice and serviceable. The facilities on campus are A+ and the school has an excellent academic reputation. I think we can say we can compete with most places.

Spot on. For all the guff the Rent takes for being a "small" stadium and being a half hour off-campus, it is a great place to see a game. There really isn't a bad seat in the place and it is a great tailgating environment.

It's fair to question whether significant investment is better spent extending the life of the Rent or put towards an on-campus stadium, but in the near term our 40,000 capacity stadium is "serviceable" and then some.

Been to few other colleges for games, some big time (Vanderbilt, Puke, crazy Missouri game with fake FG attempts, LSU) and the minus is not on campus but to me a plus is the tailgating space is special.
