He's not a mouthpiece for RE. I think their is more going on with Re and DO than people expect
If Re really wanted DO around don't you think he would have or could have made that happen with DB
or would RE not want to have DO around for fear that if the program started scoring points and doing good things it would be a repeat of when DO was a bigger name than Re. just sayin

Also, I'm certian he has been offered jobs on the pro, D1 and D2 level but I think his podcast are starting to take off!

So Penders coached at URI and still follows the team - just saying for all the Hurley folks out there. Ironic, that's all...

He probably follows the team because he played baseball and basketball at UConn.

As it relates to DO’s comments, the thing that bothers me is the radio silence from the AD leadership over the last few months. The basketball team is awful and getting worse. There are no signs that they’re is a game plan with the program. Have the former players abandoned the program instead of rallying around KO? What is the plan and why should I feel that there is hope? My brother calls me the biggest UConn fan that he know, but I am getting apathetic about basketball. Something needs to change.

At least, Randy has me feeling optimistic about the future of the football program. He is visible and has reengaged former players from his last stint to this program.

I know who you are, but your take on Randy not wanting him to steal his shine is silly.

When Dan O wakes up in Minnesota and takes a handful of Advil, I’m sure he’ll clarify... ;)

Great..........because it doesn't get more stupid than talking to the media after you had few.

Yesterday they emailed the men's hockey season ticket holders about a really great postgame event tonight with an autograph session.

Four hours later, they emailed them again to announce the earlier email was a mistake and there is no such event.


Thought you'd get a kick out of that.
 
really and truly unnecessary...wait until the KO situation is resolved at least. is there some decision Dan would have made different than DB in the last 2 yrs? the football program has hope - what more can one ask for after basically a decade of pasqualoni/diaco
 
Man that was dissapointing. Hoping he issues an apology, keep it in house Dan, calling the ad a schmuck in a public forum does nothing. (I am not opining on whether the ad is in fact a schmuck).

Will also add that Dan O is a legend and the single biggest recruit in UCONN football history. Hate that their appears to be a fracture in his relationship to UCONN.

I also believe, like some, by the tone of the quote, that the comments stemmed from something that happened recently. He was gung ho UCONN very recently.

Thinking about it today, they do have a away game against Brown on Saturday. Game would end around 9:30. 1-2 hr autograph session.
Bus ride back to storrs. Players wouldn't get back until 12-1.
 
What does it matter since it looks like DB is out, anyway? After words like this, I don't see how DB stays.

Penders for AD would not be a bad idea. I would say he's our best option right now, if he wants the AD job.

There isn’t any one specific thing.

It’s the ongoing tirefires. The dead silence. The collapsing attendance.

Candidly the annoucement that they lowered ticket prices yesterday annoyed the crap out of me - they did no such thing. Either they are stupid or they think we are.

Based on what they did, Edsall may have put him in a tough spot by going public with the lower price plea.

Based on DO’s comments wouldn’t be surprised if it is a rift with Edsall and wouldn’t be surprised if Corey and their inability to make that go away is a big part of it.

I go back to his quote many years ago Of Putting DO at qb is like puttin a round peg into a square hole!
There was so much behind the scenes stuff that only a few where privy to. Some of it is downright funny 15 years later some of it is really eyeopening in terms of the character of some folks

I will say no more on this.

I do enjoy reading some of this stuff though!

Lol at the notion that Orlovsky’s words are what determines DB’s fate.

They don't. There's RUMORS there will be a new AD. Not just DO. Learn to chain possibilities.

In this thread we are pining for a guy with zero coaching experience be hired and an ex basketball coach become the next AD.

Only on the Boneyard.

I was thinking of the baseball coach. I apologize, my wise master.

Speaking of "only on the Boneyard", you spaz out here quite a bit.

It’s more like I’m sitting back and laughing. Wondering how some of you guys tie your shoes in the morning.

Here’s another thought. Perhaps Randy wanted to hire an ACTUAL FOOTBALL COACH.

Yeah if Dan is mad about that it would be pretty stupid. If he wanted the OC job.

Yea so 12 years in the NFL dosent qualify him for a coaching job at UCONN.....where the quality of play over the last 5 years is a laughing stock.

In every career people start at the bottom, usually. However, if someone has certan experience in the given field it is not necessary to start at the bottom.
Ga usually start on breaking down film for tendencies, they do that for 2-3 years and then usually roll into a position coach for several years moving around their side of the ball and then maybe after 10 years can entertain thoughts of a coordinator.

You mean to tell me he cannot develop a qb with reasonable skills based on him playing the position for 20+ years, or he cannot game plan based on calling plays at the LOS for much of those 20 years.

UC does not have a dedicated QB or passing game coach. Why?

I agree he is pining for the UC job as he needs a job lol. And the UC job is like working for Saban at Alabama

Fair enough. I wonder if he's the problem though.

"He's the face of the UConn program," Edsall said of Orlovsky. "It's not me or anybody else. It's Dan. He's the guy who stood up and said, 'I'm going to be different. I'm not going to go to Purdue or Michigan State. I'm going to come to UConn and make it special.'"

Just sayin.

So if he is the face of the program why didn't Edsell fight to bring him on board
