Toledo coaching staff

Weiner- Co-offensive coordinator and QB coach for six seasons. Interim HC for bowl game.
Hallett- Co-ofensive coordinator and O Line coach
Eliano- DC for the bowl game. Last two seasons he was CB coach and was defensive pass game coordinator in 2025.
 
Apparently Candle called the plays at Toledo and has been resistant to give up that responsibility. Not that it was ever likely Sammis was coming back, but I would assume that would be the nail in the coffin for possible retention.

Looking like wholesale staff changes with a new DC coming in as well, not entirely unexpected. Was a fun 2 year gap in his Mississippi St. tenure. Starting to wonder if there will be any holdovers at this point. Would still love to hold onto Pryce Tracy (QBs), Kashif Moore (WRs), Dalton Hilliard (DBs, was a Mora guy probably headed to CSU), Christian Pace (OL, previously TE), and Antonio Wilcox (RBs).

In my opinion, with UConn's resources, you want your head coach to be offensive minded because it is hard to keep and retain a good offensive coordinator. Unfortunately, one of UConn top coaches and a main reason for success was the OC, Sammis. I would think that a P4 school would target Sammis for OC given what he has done over the past 2 years.

DBs have been a strength for Toledo, would not mind Eliano coming over. Toledo just filled their opening with the Mercer coach so should be interesting if he wants to stick with the current FBS coaches or bring his FCS guys with him.

I wouldn't be shocked if there are announcements of who will be joining even if they aren't starting the job until after the school's bowl games. (From a continuity standpoint I can't imagine they'll have new and old staff's mixing at Fenway)

I suspect sammis may be the only one with in the incentive to stick around through the bowl
 
Do we know yet what the salary pool will be for our assistant coaches? Don't believe I've seen it posted anywhere...

Anybody following Kashif Moore's socials? Chatter is he's joining the ex-coach out west. Would've been nice to keep a UConn player as a UConn coach, but at this point we're looking at a total regime rebuild, so as long as we're getting good/competent people who really want to be at UConn, that's all we can hope for as fans.

I would think Doug Shearer could stay at UConn. UConn grad, has done a good job, seems active in recruiting, and Toledo's special teams coach went to Kansas St.

If Shearer’s Miami OH special teams performed well, perhaps a better chance.
 
It's not 11:20am EST yet, but I figure 20 minutes from that time we'll get an update on any possible assistant coaching additions... (let's up hope so anyways)

I think we are waiting for the dam to break on the Toledo staff that are coming to know a good amount of the staff. I am most interested in who he hires to fill the positions that he isn’t/can’t bring with him and gives him the connections in the northeast among other recruiting grounds his staff lacks

I'd love to have him here, but if that's not going to happen, I'm glad he has the opportunity to continue coaching.
 
If they follow Coach Candle I’ll be happy.
