HCRE 2.0 Presser Thread (with Link to Watch)

Didn't know where to put this but doesn't warrant a new thread...wholleys Twitter likes...basically all UConn and RE stuff in the last few days. He's coming here

Diaco talked about love for this program. If you were in the room today you wouldve felt it from Randy. Big. Freakin. Difference

His frame of mind might be:

"UConn gave me my first head coaching gig. They were good for me and I was good for them. In this business, good chemistry like that is rare. I had something special here and I pissed it away. This is where I belong. This is my football family".

Combine that emotion with needing a coaching job, and here he is. I'm happy he is here; we needed a real coach.

Finally just watched it...I had flash backs to how he coached through that JH year. His comments after the ND game. While I still wonder about the MD dream job comments, I really do think RE has a personal connection to UConn. There aren't a lot of coaches that have that with a school...lets hope he is our Bill Snyder.

I have no problem with his dream job comments. He said he grew up going to Maryland football games. I can see why that would be a special program to him.

My son grew up going to SMU games with me. His first game was when he was a year old at the Ford Stadium opening against Kansas. He's talked about going into coaching. If he was a coach someday at New Mexico or Louisiana Tech, I could see how the head coaching job at SMU would mean something extra to him.

But I think Randy is over that. He realizes that he and UConn are a good fit.
