If Edsall gets fired, who's on short list of potential HC?

[ZooCougar]

Here’s my short list... plus add in ANY P5 HC who is fired after this season, minus Addazio. View attachment 47203

Wholley? Seriously?

You put him on the list over Al Golden who used to give Randy fits with much less talent?

Wholley is not even really a coach.

 

[ZooCougar]

I will go for it on 4th down. Hire me.

What’s your stance on returning punts?

What’s your stance on returning punts?

It’s commonly accepted football practice. I’m for it.

 

[Waquoit]

And honestly at this point why the hell NOT talk to Art Briles?!?

Because he's an unrepentant creep who is already cheating as a high school coach?

 

[Pudge]

These lists are absolutely nuts.

 

[Irishfan]

NO MORE ASS’ts from ND please. I like Jon Wholley. Although I don’t know much about him. Wasn’t he a coach here at one time or another?

if you feel compelled to take an assistant coach, at least make sure he’s a good one. A Broyles Award winner would be a good place to start.

Next year is UCONN'S breakthrough year baby...and don't you forget it. Randy will drag this program back to respectability by year five regardless of conference affiliation, lack of institutional support, recruiting difficulties, and a non-existent fan base.

Did I just say that? Honey, pass me my elixir.

Good place to end with also. Live and learn fish cakes

He knows how to build a team and how to win. Which people here want to see.

 

[YoungFree]

Let's get wild and pull from the high school ranks.

#12, #17, #6, #18, #25 in that order. Sure none are from CT but they have ties in big recruiting states and know how to win. Plus they'd probably not be as expensive as current college coaches and their current teams could probably give an RE led UConn a run for its money.

I mean, what do we have to lose?

[HuskyDogArt]

Obviously getting ahead of myself, but in theory, lets say Benedict fires Randy Edsall December 2nd.... Who's realistically on short list of potential HC to go after?

Give some names and why.

A high school coach from Vermont! Why? Because any other coaches would need to check into a mental hospital, because they would be insane if they accepted a job with a very cloudy future.

Diaco won a Broyles Award...

Fine throw Al Golden on the list too! Could use some nice new navy blue ties around here! Who’s on your list?

Ok live and learn. I remember the n@m. Guess I will leave it up to you more knowledgeable guys.

Here’s my short list... plus add in ANY P5 HC who is fired after this season, minus Addazio.

I appreciate the effort with the list. My preference is someone who is semi young (hungry is what I want), has been a successful OC and HC in any collegiate level. I want someone who thinks offensively and knows how to run a good program. I would also accept a retread if not too old and they have the drive to succeed.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Yup, Lembo is a brainy type (Gtown Grad). He's all substance with little flash. Warde instead chose a good looking used car salesman.

For a second I swear you were talking about Brodie Van Wagenen #LGM

 

[Scrutineer]

Diaco won a Broyles Award...

As Clint Eastwood said, "a man's got to know his limitations."

Some can have one stellar year as a Coordinator under a great head coach but stumble in the big guy's slot. Belichick failed at Cleveland before he became a genius with the Patriots so maybe we shouldn't write Diaco off but what's happened in his career since leaving us doesn't seem to bode well.

Similarly, Ron Dayne, Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel all won the Heisman Trophy and didn't show in their next jobs that they were what some believed them to be.

I have to say Nick Rolovich is a person of interest for HC

I had to look him up. He's spent his whole life on the west coast and is currently the HC at Hawaii. You'd have to give me one spectacular raise to leave Hawaii for the northeast.
That brings up the question, does the next HC need to have some kind of NE connection or is that overrated?

You don’t really need a NE connection. If they are from the west coast it can open up new pipelines. If a coach wins in NE recruits will have interest. It’s all about building a solid football team.

 

[mike012]

What about Rick Pitino, he is probably looking for something to do and he knows how to sell recruits on a school, that's kind of what the football team needs. A coach that can sell recruits on aSSets that the college life can give.

Why leave Hawaii tho? It’s a Mtn. West member and they can recruit decent players every once in a while.

Anyone else see Noel Thomas’ tweet? Hire him as OC???
