would love to see Matt Brock grow tons in his role at UConn, and ultimately position himself to grab the torch after JM retires (I doubt JM'll leave for another job at this point).
I like this guy, idk why.
No, we should go with the best person available. They should have all the head coaching prerequisites. No one needs training wheels here.I would rather see a head coach from the offensive side of the football. Edsall, Red Pants, Pasqualoni, Mora are all DCs. It's an offensive game. We should reflect that when JM's time is up.

It's a small sample, but man has the defense be night and day difference even from the Maryland game. They're locking up on tackles, getting immense push on the line and LBs are making good blitz's. If the defense keeps this trajectory, he's going to be a hot name for DC positions at bigger schools or HC's at lower P4 to upper G5Great start. Maybe see more body of work than a few games to make judgments like this. My guess is no one thought this after opening day.
If they are better than the rest, go for it. Head coaching is different than either side of the ball.You think there will be no good candidates from the offensive side of the football?
You can get a guy with head coaching experience that is from the offense side of the ball. Mora had head coaching experience but he came up on the defensive side.If they are better than the rest, go for it. Head coaching is different than either side of the ball.
You do realize he was a P4 DC last year?It's a small sample, but man has the defense be night and day difference even from the Maryland game.

not just P4, but an SEC DC.You do realize he was a P4 DC last year?
For 1 season.not just P4, but an SEC DC.
1. I fully agree.You can get a guy with head coaching experience that is from the offense side of the ball. Mora had head coaching experience but he came up on the defensive side.
Maybe we need a mechanism to help UConn invest in their coaches just like they ask for our assistance with NIL????Brock is making about $300k it looks like. We got a steal if that's accurate. He should easily be making 2x that - I hope that doesn't incentivize him to leave after this year. Hopefully they can get Brock and Sammis bigger contracts.
