That will be a very short conversation. UConn will be an independent for a very long time and no efforts are being made to change that nor will they be in the future unless the landscape changes i.e. UConn gets really competitive, BB and Hockey win national championships, and they achieve AAU membership. Also in the unlikely case that a P5 suddenly needs another member. None of the G5 are a fit.
But the defense was great so in BDs mind they actually won.
The Mizzou and Navy games did it for me with him...
All you need to know is Purdue fired him last year and now they are a top 50 defense.
Was that the game where he went with a freshman quarterback who he said would win the Heisman at some point?
Navy i literally ran up to the TV flipping Bob the double bird. My wife thought i needed a mental health evaluation.
I think that Williams first game was at least the week before. He had made the call right before a weeknight game at the Rent, as I remember talking about it with folks at our pregame tailgate. It didn't go well that night either.
Tbf our football coaching staff was never really "well funded" it was the bare minimum to get by. Hathaway was cheap and the school didn't want to budge on academic requirements for admission so Golden had a significantly easier job recruiting kids that were able to make an impact immediately.
Wasn't the redshirt burned against Temple before the BC game?
Yes you’re absolutely correct, especially if you’re offering the coach you hired, who is worth $2M, only $1M.
There's the rub. UCONN can't be an independent for a very long time so something has to give. My guess is the landscape keeps on changing due to the level of competition, geography, and most importantly, greed.
Yep that's it. Friday night against Temple. 21-0 shutout (could've been worse, UConn picked off PJ Walker twice in the end zone late)
Think about it Zoo, why would Dave even want Lashlee? The guy has more negatives than positives and the main negative, no HCing experience and Dave wants a coach with some kind of HCing experience. Honestly, this job is too much for Lashlee, we’re out of his league at this point. Good not great coordinator that needs a lot more experience to even be considered.
You’re right for the first time, but Golden is not worth no $2m and I wouldn’t want to take a risk on a guy that hasn’t been a HC in over 6yrs. Whether you like it or not he’s a risk, a major one. I’d prefer to lessen our risk and hire a guy like Lewis, Cignetti, Entz, Moorhead, Herman, etc..
Well, I guess that I disagree.
Yes you’re absolutely correct, especially if you’re offering the coach you hired, who is worth $2M, only $1M.
You sealed it for me. I was giving you a chance, but man you’re a clown and have a peanut brain for sure. Why are you even a UConn fan if you think so little of us? Even with all the positives that UConn has to offer, and most were posted by yarders. Real fans. Don’t answer please I don’t want you to keep embarrassing yourself. Clown.
You must have been picked on as a kid ! I'm sorry.
Imagine consistently being that bad and amassing multi-million dollar annuities fir being horrible. You almost have to respect that.
One small point. UConn was only three years down the road from the Fiesta Bowl. And the first two years of PP we're not all that bad. In fact, even in the third year Weist had three wins. The Diaco hire was done against a much more hopeful background.
That's a huge point. 3 years out from the fiesta bowl vs the worst team in college football the last two complete seasons.
Lots of time to make fish cakes
