Dez

[huskymedic]

A lot of folks ran with it... Even a Giant's Blog.

Check this out: http://www.giants101.com/2013/01/03/uconns-george-deleone-to-join-new-york-giants-coaching-staff/

"As it stands right now, Pat Flaherty is the offensive line coach for Big Blue, and he's highly respected by his players and others around the league. There have been no rumors about him leaving the team, but it certainly isn't outside the realm of possibility with so many vacancies opening up around the league."

"Another option would be DeLeone being brought on to serve as assistant offensive line coach – a spot previously held by Matt Rhule, who recently signed with Temple as their head coach, and currently held by Kevin Gilbride (by default), who also serves as the teams offensive coordinator.

"Whatever the case may be, rumors of DeLeone's possible departure have been like music to the ears of Huskies fans. Like Gilbride here in New York, he is blamed substantially for their offensive futility and given no breaks whatsoever."

Hey - we can always look forward to doing ths again with GDL, Sparano and the Jets

They got the flavor of our feelings right for sure...

I've been thinking about this after my initial disappointment that the news is not true. Many companies tell employees that they will be let go and give them time to look for a new job for the benefit of the employee. Maybe GDL is looking for his soft landing and Dez's sources jumped the gun on the Giant's job, but there is no way GDL is back as OC.

Hey, I'm trying to put a positive spin on this!

 

[huskyblooz]

I officially hate Dez! To give us a glimmer of hope and then break our hearts!

The man is evil!!!

 

[Uconnalliance]

This!

This is why I hate new-age journalism. Tweets, blogs, Facebook,....bull$#it. Be the first one! Be the first one! Nobody does any investigating anymore, nor do they care if they get something wrong. They just follow it up with a "mea culpa." And I'm not just pointing out Dez. I think Dez is the least of the problems. The entire industry is just broken....

My father said a long time ago" like everyone trust no one" Dez will be hearing bout this for a long time to come.

 

[huskyblooz]

Boycott the Courant!
Oh, I already did because of Jacobs.

 

[jdb50]

Watching news with wife WVIT at 6:25 Kevin Nathan says late christmas present to Husky fans GDL is leaving UConn (we both shout YES!) and he is going to the NYG to be offensive line coach (we both shout Oh No!). This has got to be true at least the first half. I had a total change in outlook looking to next year and then I come on here and it's all up in the air. Damn!

 

[Mr Blueskin]

Man, this really sucks being a UConn fan and Giants fan...talk about a lose lose situation with this guy...he is awful and the fact that the Giants are looking for an assistant to the assistant of the Oline makes me question the Gints O...tell GDL and his Oline videos to try Pop Warner.

Sorry, but I can't take you seriously when you harshly criticize and censure Dez for one rumored tweet yet you are the same posters hanging on the every word of MHver3 and establishing a thread-gasmic orgy of comments every time he mentions a word that begins with "U" or "C". I could only imagine you all after you watched Sesame Street when you were little. Twitter is cool, but just like blogs before it, it is unreliable, quantity over quality dominates tweeting. If someone posts it on the Internetz, it must be true.

I will admit that Dez has not been on his "A" game lately, but he does a lot of positive things to showcase the program. He has sparked more pro-UConn media attention and he gets people to come in and offer multiple perspectives. Since when did he confirm this rumor, he did not. He went to the source, GDL himself. Would Deleone even be trusted to tell the truth if he were a serious candidate in the midst of a possible deal? No.

Just because he tones down his expectations and chooses not to give his opinion on certain matters, you treat him like he is incompetent or against UConn. He can't please every reader, but many of you create a unrealistic expectation for a journalist. He had to deal with people asking when Mike Nebrich would be put in to spell Whitmer for crying out loud. It is absolutely ridiculous. The sensationalistic (yellow) journalism you expect should be tossed in the "dumpster fire." Maybe the national inquirer is more suited to your liking.

Journalistic integrity and higher standards arguments in 5...4...3...

He's a P sycophant loser now chastizing the fans for no support. There has been 10 years of robust support and folks paying premiums. F. U. Dez. Go write for your love, the Cuse. I am tired by the number of abject losers from Syracuse and Buffalo surrounding the program...a little upstate mafia of incompetence.

 

[FBUCONN]

Ooopppss......there goes the Pulitzer!

 

[Sean]

For a guy who claims that he doesn't try to break stories because he wants to make sure he's right...

Des has been awfully wrong on two big coaching moves.

What's good? Not his reporting.

 

[FBUCONN]

This guy who works at my Dry Cleaners, knows a guy at the Oil Change place, who has a Niece at UCONN who dates one of the football Equipment Managers, who once shared a cab with an Alumnus, who was married to a lady who used to clean houses for someone in the Athletic Dept, who was marooned for 2 years on an island with monkey who was in the UCONN Health Center Experimental Drug Unit, who got a tweet from an unnamed source.........how am I doing as far as qualifying my sources?

Yeah. This.

 

[Waquoit]

Can't we just can GDL on the pretense that he was out looking for another job? Don't we want coaches that want to be here? And don't wear a bib when they eat?

PS. His blog is replete with typos and unprofessional slang totally unbecoming a professional journalist whose currency his supposed to be written word. The Courant was hip in 1781. Now, it supposed to be the main printed news source in Connecticut. If I'm his editor, I'd read him the riot act. We don't need cool and hip, Desmond. We need critical insight and good reporting. Dez is the written equivalent of DJ Dogpound.

HFD with a jab, love it!

To everyone who considers Dez a rofessional journalist....you deserve today's disappointment. He's a clown.

Now I'm mad that I'm not on Twitter because I didn't get to see the jab. Are you going to hook a brotha up and link it here for me?

So Lagow was in the mix, too??? Wow. Sometimes, I really really worry about Twitter. I hope that none of this ridiculous crap spooks this kid, because I think he's got a chance to be a really good one for us, and I want him to come here!

It's time for you to give in to the Twitterverse... dooooo it.... I resisted for years. You might as well get to see it all go down as it happens.

 

[whaler11]

I'm no Des fan but he says he has sources and he posted it with a question mark indicating it was speculation.

Maybe he got burned by the sources, maybe there was some truth to it and it changed, maybe it still happens going forward.

I'm not really all that upset. GDL staying means it's much more likely 2014 comes with a fresh start. I honestly don't think it matters because this isn't a bowl team anyway but GDL makes it a certainty.
