HC Candidates

[UConnSportsGuy]

Hire a consultant and let the chips fall where they may.

Given our financial limitations at UConn, maybe we can get a great deal on a consultant if we are using them for a search for Football, Basketball, and Soccer all at the same time!

I worry about bringing in another coordinator. I really would like a candidate that has been a HC for 5 years. Someone that knows how to assemble a coaching staff that isn't packed with friends, someone that can manage in game and someone that can bring toughness, speed and aggression back to the field. I long for the days of McClain and Edwards returning punts and a LB corp that made plays in the backfield. Most importantly, someone that can identify talent and development talent.

I would give a top-shelf offensive coordinator a shot, but I understand that reservation. I'd rather have a coach with decent experience/success ideally.

Set more money on fire. Good idea.

Just giving the admin. cover in case they go that way. The can say, "But I read it on the Boneyard!"

The threads here on candidates are more valuable than the work the department has done since 1/1/2011.... scary!

When do we announce our endorsement to the Courant?

I know that it sounds funny, but The Boneyard endorsement is EXACTLY what should be sought by the administration, as we are likely the highest spending per fan that UCONN has. We also spend the most time on this type of research, and if we all agree on a list of candidates, there's a good chance that we've got the right idea...

The fact that none of us came up with Diaco or PP in the last 2 disastrous hiring cycles proves this indisputably.

For me finding a coach who can do more with less should be the first item. The climate and conference is a big deterrent for speed burners and most players from the south.Installing an offense such as the flexbone is a fast way to alleviate recruiting issues and succeed because of a system not individual talent.

How many freezing bad weather games have we had this year?

Zero to this point, I think there was one last year.

Well ECU blamed their loss in Storrs from the weather also are we taking a poll of one season,doesnt seem to smart.Running a program in a state with so little talent in high school screams out for the recruitment of ball control scheme players. The post said climate as well as conference.The rest of the aac gets the spill over of local talent from football rich areas who have to opt for second or third choices in schools .
