I wish people would stop, not getting a on campus stadium

I feel this topic has not been discussed enough, and we need several thousand more posts to explore it fully.

People act like this is the end all be all, when in fact, really no one cares except maybe the students. And they’re not even showing up consistently. Let’s focus on the people who are actually spending money to buy tickets. And they don’t care.

The larger football world definitely cares. It's a staple of college athletics

I don't understand how we could do an on campus football stadium unless they build a new highway to Storrs at the same time. Thinking about the traffic on 195 and 44.... 😨

Agree with your last statement. The statement before just shows how bad Conn the thinking is and is why UConn isn't in a major conference. What does it say that most state universities are in big conferences. New England? Zero. Explains a lot about the region.

UMass!

Program is in peril. Need to think big. Belichick loves Connecticut and deserves another chance

Not with that baggage

For what it's worth, i asked Gemini AI who would be the best candidate to get the head football coaching job at UConn based on Communication/PR skills, Recruiting and development, Raising funds/NIL, and Northeast ties. In all catagories one name was rated the best or tied for the best: Tony Reno.

If we got Reno and could keep Sammis, does the BY think that would be a home run? Does keeping Sammis and making him head coach make the most sense if all the other top candidates (including Reno) insist on full control of the offense?

I am on that board. There is no secret answer to why Mora has not offered anything to UConn nation about this turn of events or any thank yous

What would make me nervous about any FCS (and particularly an Ivy League) coach is the level of experience in recruiting from the Portal and dealing with NIL. The Ivy's don't have nearly the volume of that, that will be necessary to be competitive against next year's schedule. It can certainly work, but there would be questions until they actually proved they could or couldn't do it. That makes me lean more towards a former FBS head coach, a major conference assistant or even NFL guys, who've more experience in melding a team that changes year to year.

Ultimately anyone is going to need help in the GM/Player personnel space (especially given Mora is expected to take the incumbent at UConn with him).
