Fire PP (and GDL) Now before the USF Game Thread

Dear Warde:

Time to earn your paycheck. Its time to stop monitoring and actually make a decision. You blew it last season, did not act after Towson, and know we are 0-4 with a humiliating loss against Buffalo. THIS DUMPSTER FIRE IS ON YOU, ROCKSTAR.
 
Dear Warde, have a "conversation" with P and convince him he should spend more time with his family. We promise we will buy the retiring due to "personal reasons" jargon.
 
If PP isn't shown the door soon, WM may be shown the door as well. Stop monitoring the situation & act!

If PP and GDL are not gone by tomorrow, my anger will turn towards Warde and the blame will turn on him from hear on. It's as simple as that.
 
Said many times PP and his staff should have been fired last DEC. It was a mistake to hire him in the first place. Many of us wanted Rich Rod or Mike Leach. Warde needs to fire this staff tomorrow and put OC as interim coach for rest of the season. Once again, this is on Hathaway and now it is on WM.

Dear Mr. Manuel-

As a recent UConn alum, donor to the university, and proud fan of our football program, I'm writing to ask you to lead us in a new direction by letting go of Paul Pasqualoni and hiring a new head coach.
This has been a long time coming now, and after today's display the time for evaluation has ended and the time for finding new talent has begun. I realize that promoting someone from within probably won't produce the future head coach of the program, but it will be a signal to me and the rest of Husky Nation that this kind of performance is not tolerated by the school.
I believe you're a competent AD. Your hiring of Kevin Ollie is exactly the kind of move that UConn needs. Now it's time to do the same for our football team.

Regards,

Amory (no, I didn't actually put Amory in the real email, duh) :)

Well, what did you put? Jack Mehoffer?
 
I'm wondering if Warde is scared of PP....any competent AD would have fired this clown and his sidekick already.

I wanted him gone last year, sent Warde an email after the Towson game, and here we are 0-4. HE NEEDS TO GO NOW!

I think what will happen is that GDL will be fired and P will stay for the season. Or if P won't fire GDL then they both go this week. It's a mess.
 
So disgusted with this situation. Ranked preseason 119 out of 120 schools in 2002, the program took off. 2013? Postseason bottom 10 with a loss to an FCS school. Maybe winless. Send an email to Warde this morning.
 
Dear Warde,

Lane Kiffin was fired in week 5 with a (3-2) record. Paul is (0-4) and has been given too many chances, now its your turn to make a move

My email to Warde (w/ Susan on CC this morning)

Dear Warde Manuel,
I have never been so embarrassed as a fan of UConn Football. I used to be one of the biggest supporters of this program and now I can barely bring myself to watch the games. I grew up in the heart of SEC country in a city called Roswell, GA. Everyone I went to high school with follows schools like LSU, UGA, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Florida. I used to be able to go home and talk up how great UConn Football was and how we could compete with the elite teams in college football. I used to be able to tell everyone that we were a young program but we were going places in a short amount of time. I used to be able to point to evidence – beating South Carolina, pulling off an upset against West Virginia (finally), beating Notre Dame (@ Notre Dame). Now the best I can do is change the subject and wait until basketball season.

Coach Pasqualoni is not your hire - any smart UConn fan knows that Jeff Hathaway is responsible for that hire. Without a drastic move though, he has become your guy. The results of the UConn football team the previous two seasons were disappointing (5-7; 5-7) but now we have reached the point of embarrassment. I am tired of hearing platitudes about how we can turn it around in conference play or the season is long. We are currently 0-4 with losses to Towson and Buffalo. If we can't compete at FCS level, the conference schedule will be a disaster even against our weakened conference.

I have been a season ticket holder since 2005 when I came up to the University of Connecticut as a Freshman. I have enjoyed some wonderful games throughout the years. The 4 OT game win against Pittsburgh, the game against USF in the snow, the Fiesta Bowl out in Arizona, the game against South Carolina in Birmingham, and many more. I have so many great memories experienced at UConn Football games. I also remember the hard times. I remember the day Jasper Howard was murdered on campus. As a fan, I cried for the loss of a young man that I got to know as a UConn Football program. I watched a team and a fanbase grieve and come together. The words are still up there in the football practice facility: “You have to play each play like it's the last play you'll ever play."

I woke up this morning – still disappointed about the loss – to the news that a major university had made a drastic coaching change and fired their head coach. It wasn't UConn who made this bold move. It was USC. Lane Kiffen wasn't even allowed off the flight home to LA before being let go. The verdict is in on Coach Pasqualoni. His time has passed and he has been a disaster at the University of Connecticut. Every single day that he is kept on as our coach, it tells me that the Athletic Department and the University accepts the results, feels that the right man is leading the team, and that the future of our football team is in serious jeopardy.
Fire Coach Pasqualoni.

Warde,

If you keep PP for the rest of the season you are sending a message that is loud and clear to this fan base. UConn is not committed to putting a competitive football program together and have thus sealed our fate as forever being a mid-major program across the board. If you decide to do this I cannot see why it is worth my time to devote any of my resources to the football program when clearly you have decided it is not worth it for you to. Therefor I will turn my attention elsewhere to the basketball program and others. It really hurts to write that as football, especially college football, has always been my passion. However, I cannot honestly say I want to commit another dime to the football program should you decide that you cannot listen and see what the fans and players are saying.

Enough said.....
 
USC just fired Kiffen, that's what quality programs do...It sends a message, that you (coach) are not good enough and our university and their fans deserve better.

what are they waiting for? The rock star has to see the writing on the wall. It's inevitable, there's no more evaluation needed, you have to end the misery for the good of all parties involved.

It took too long, but Warde finally did come around with respect to Kevin. He's just a few steps behind the rest of us :)

Manuel didn't hire "Coach" Pasqualoni, but you are giving the one who did too much credit. The proper baseball metaphor is three called strikes right down the middle.
 
Never mind before USF, I want them both packed up and out of their offices by lunch today. It's been too long already.

I don't feel bad about it one bit either, these guys have pocketed a hell of a lot of money in salary over the past 2 years for what they've managed to do, and the head coach will get a nice severance check.

I honestly can't believe that they haven't packed up and left yet, and really, I bet the two of them can't believe either, that they're keys still work to the building. I'd have had the locks changed last night.
 
So, Lane kiffin is fired on the Tarmac while he still has a winning record!

Our geriatric coach was welcomed home.

See a difference? One school cares about football, the other couldn't care less.
