Interim Coach Will Be

[UConn07]

It's between Weist, Hughes & Foley.

It's between Weist, Hughes & Foley.

I think it has to be Hughes. He is by far the most qualified of the three. This guy has put up with a lot. He deserves it and as long as Weist is actually given free reign over the offense and Foley gets the O-line back, I don't see any downside with it. He's professional enough to know there's no guarantee for next year and I think he can view it an an audition for a HC job somewhere.

Honestly, I want Weist and Foley focusing only on fixing the offense.

Either OC T.J. Weist, TE coach Mike Foley or DC Hank Hughes will be interim head coach I'm hearing

I agree completely. Hughes seems like the guy.

It's still a sad day in UConn football when "the guy" just oversaw a defensive unit that gave up 41 to BUFFALO.

My guess is Weist. He's the newest kid on the block. I'm equally as excited to get DeLeone out and Foley back on our OL!

In my opinion it should be Foley. He is the only guy with head coaching experience in college on his resume (Colgate). Plus, it will allow you to keep both your offensive coordinator (Weist) and defensive coordinator (Hughes) in place. An interim coach is more of a figure head anyway and the OC and DC lead their respective units. So Foley would be most natural.

TJ Weist to become interim #UConn head coach

TJ was a given. He's Warde's guy and he is auditioning for the job just like KO had to.

Good. I hope it is Weist too since it means we are serious about cleaning house.

Game 2 for him against his old school should be interesting

agreed. As much as I like some of our assistant coaches that have been around during the Edsall and Coach P eras it just doesn't make sense to keep guys in that manner. Not at this level of football. A new HC should bring in his guys.
