Because why not, he is pretty much having the career path that Kevin Ollie had, career backups usually make good head coaches, he's worked with many different qbs including Peyton Manning. Kliff Kingsbury is around the same age as Dan O.

Now I'm not saying fire Diaco he needs more time to be fair but down the road you never know.

Dan O is not qualified to even be a position coach. Maybe some day but he needs to be more than a clip board holder in the N F L before he gets any major coachiing position, anywhere.

I'm not saying now he would need a good 2-3 years of coaching experience before becoming a HC.

I would usually think this is a dumb idea but after this year I learned career assistants can coach for years without learning how to run a program.

Given the hours and days he has spent in film and analysis and advising the starters, I would say he might be overqualified to be a QB coach.

If he chooses that path, he will have a great career as a coach.

Steve spurrier was a clipboard holder, nick Saban never played pro football,same with urban Meyer and most coaches in the SEC or Big 12

That being said he could imo be a super qb coach or oc NEXT year at UCONN
And a head coach in the xext 5-7 years

People who say he can't do it don't know him well enough I would never bet against him
And btw he has been around some good qb' sand coaches in the Nfl not many Qb's are in the league for 10 years

Great. So he can come here and do a bad job and then the BY can hate him too. Lovely idea.

Dj Hernandez has some coaching experience at least. He is the tightend coach at Iowa, not sure if he would return to Uconn, but certainly makes more sense to talk about than Dan O.
