Coaching search…

- 12 years of head coaching experience for Chesney vs just 3 for Harasymiak.

- Maine was already a quality football program when Harasymiak took over. Chesney has built up 3 programs.

- If Harasymiak gets the job over Chesney we are putting a lot of faith in his one good year at Maine.

IMO 9 extra years of head coaching experience with success at three stops trumps working for PJ Fleck a few years.

Diaco spent many years with Brian Kelly and that ended up being worthless.

Harasymiak is a good candidate (much better than Golden) but to me Chesney clearly has the superior resume.

Hard NO to Chesney... that is all

Why? Just because no FBS experience? It's one step up the ladder. Chesney is 43 and ready to take that step.

Why do you think he will fail?

BTW, its highly doubtful we can get a MAC coach like Lewis because he would view it as a very risky lateral move.

If we want a current head coach it will probably need to be someone moving up the ladder.

So it's down to Moorhead, Chesney, Harasymiak, and Campanile? Gotta think they are in final negotiations with Moorhead if that has not already been done and they are just waiting until 11/28 to announce. But if it's not, I am OK with any of the first three although hearing the Chesney podcast before the game really impressed me. Humble, articulate, really sharp. Don't know anything about Campanile. I'll trust DB on this, not that it makes any difference. None of us get a vote, and besides at this point there is no hard core opposition forming to any of them anyway. Gotta be impressed with how little has leaked out. The mark of a professional operation.

I agree, if Benedict wants charisma Chesney has it in spades.

1) Moorhead
2) Chesney

3) Harasymiak

If we can get one these three I would be happy, but thrilled with the first two.

Yeah, the thing I noticed about Chesney is that he doesn't fall back on tired old football buzzwords. He has a large vocabulary and can really explain down to the nuanced detail.

I toured/consulted in their football facility while I was working in the baseball facility. It’s going to better no question about it

So can you show some pictures of the actual differences or at least state them specifically? That would be more persuasive then repeatedly posting “I was there, they’re better.” Specifically, what are you claiming that they have that Connecticut lacks?

Yes, me too. I do not draw conclusions without data however much I respect the source. Need detail.
 
Outside of the assistant from the Dolphins, I'd be pretty pumped to have any of those coaches. That being said, we gotta push as hard as we can for Moorhead.

Probably have Mazzone and Spanos..

If Mazzone's offense can do what it did the week or so he was here, then I personally don't care who the DC is. We'll just get into shootouts and that'll put butts in the stands.

Thank goodness that wet dream is over... We're getting a guy that has been somewhere before that can work to elevate us a little quicker and not his own brand... Chesney is not the answer here now... He's got some qualities we like, but, uh.... not now...

Syracuse grad Pete Thamel in his recent Yahoo article on UConn Football:

“UConn’s football facility is among the nicest outside the Power 5, as the Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center would fit in at a Big Ten or ACC school, as it includes a spacious indoor field and modern locker room.”

But Auburn! That's how I knew Gresh was just mailing it in when he was at WTIC. He kept saying UConn needed to invest in facilities. He couldn't be bothered to visit the place even though it made up 50% of his on air discussion at the time.
