Message: [QUOTE="coachcap, post: 5335777, member: 621"] Having had a social relationship with Jeff Hathaway from his former incarnation as assistant A.D., I can vouch for him being a great family man & human being. Clearly he was in over his head with taking over the UConn program after "Big Lew" left. He & FHCRE butted heads, stoking the Randy to Maryland fiasco after the Fiesta Bowl. Now facing his signature hire, he went the safe route & hired Pasqualoni. I remember at the time the Fruit fans from RIVALS flooded our board, & said his hiring would be UConn's downfall in football. I said at the time, instead of signing P.P., Hathaway should have hired the then toxic Mike Leach who had perfected the shotgun offense at Texas Tech & was available. When Leach was eventually hired at Washington State & later at Miss. State, he gave those teams credibility, something UConn lacked until the hiring of Coach Mora. Okay, so much for the history session. Back to Husky football... [/QUOTE]
