Is next season "our" time?

[rich1122]

And we know what you, SDHusky, Medic, Dan, Rich and the other Pasqualoni apologists think.

And every time you guys make your attempts to rehab his efforts here, someone will be there call you on it.

Not apologist. Not happy either. Just want you to stop hijacking posts with the idiotic fire the coaches stuff. Enough is enough. Don't act like a big baby.

Zoo take off your HFD edition sunglasses and enjoy see some of the good that's going in. We have a great recruiting class. Stellar defense , and we r passing better than before. Come along with us for the ride to the top

Amen to that.

But the difference is that I'm doing it on a thread titled, "Is next season 'our' time?" I'm going to say, "yes", and I'm willing to list the reasons why. I'll mark you down as a "no"...

This thread was a nice daydream until the amnesia wore off and everyone remembered who the head coach and the offensive line coach were.

If you go back and read how the topic shifted, you will see that it happened quite logically.

So yeah, mark me down as incredibly skeptical.

We've heard the "good recruiting class" nonsense before, hopefully these coaches won't be here long enough to see these guys take the field.

Don't read my posts then. It's that simple Rich. Sorry but I am not going to fall prey to the offseason amnesia. That way come October, I won't be surprised.

Again.....sounding like you are rooting against UConn, not FOR UConn.....just sayin'....

It was the same way with Edsall with some posters. I find it weird that some do not want Coach P to be successful. I am less than thrilled with his stewardship thus far, and would not have been upset if he was let go in the offseason, but I wish him nothing but success next year.

No. I have just reached the point where I assume that Pasqualoni will fail. I fully believe that bringing him back is a waste. When he is gone, we will be in a position to move forward. To me, to pretend otherwise is completely irrational.

I don't think engaging in false hope is being a good fan. Supporting a coach who is obviously bad for the program overall is not being a good fan.


I'll still buy tickets, still spend too much on airfare traveling to two or three home games and maybe some away games. That's what a fan does.

No, it actually sounds like you've gone past "assuming" that Pasqualoni will fail and are now openly desiring it. And of course we all know that there is only one way that PP can fail, and that's if the team fails. I just don't understand that thought process, Zoo. I CERTAINLY don't understand it from someone that buys tickets and travels to away games like yourself. If anything, that is the thought process of a casual fan.

Contrary to popular belief, I KNOW you aren't a casual fan, because what casual fan in his right mind (or even wrong mind) comes here almost every day to a UConn fan site? But can you explain to me a way where PP "is gone before his recruits hit the field" AND UConn wins a lot of games (without envoking a Sandusky-like scenario)??? Please fill me in, because I'm dying to hear it...

I assume that maybe one or two of them will actually see the field next season. For UConn's sake I hope next season is Pasqualoni's last as the head coach.

I think that you are seeing what you want to. It's not that I am hoping, it is just don't see any other outcome.

Last paragraph like!

In all due respect to the initial post, 2012 should have been our time. We might wait a long time before we see a UCONN defense play like that again.

All P and GDL had to do to win 8-9 games with that defense and against that schedule was continue to put a solid runnning game on the field. Instead, we got complete and utter BS in terms of development of the OL and another RB to balance with McCombs. Honestly, it just infuriates me that P let GDL do what he did to that offense.

I will be at all the home games next season and do what I do every season. Cheer my balls off for the kids. But, these guys instill no confidence in me.

I am very confident that Weist should be able to make a big difference on offense. Is there any way we can get GDL on TEs and Foley on OL?

By all reports GDL is the OL coach. We went from physical run oriented OLs to what you saw last season under his guidance. He's 168 years old, he's P's long-time buddy.......I'm not optimistic.

It is possible that Weist can dictate what kind of blocking scheme to teach the OL to play. We'll find out. At least Warde was able to seperate PP and GDL at the hip to some degree.

This is really it. Pretending that P is the answer just puts the program that much further from a chance to hire someone that is the answer.

He's not a good enough coach to take UConn to the next level. Maybe you need four or five years of evidence before you can come to that conclusion. I don't.

I hope he proves me wrong and they win 10 games. Fantasizing about that is like thinking about what I'd do if I won Powerball.

I'm pretty sure that Weist WILL dictate the kind of blocking schemes to teach. Based on the small amount of info I've seen on him, he doesn't strike me as the type to kow-tow to the guy working underneath him. That's certainly one of the reasons for my optimism for this coming season. I also think that it's pretty obvious that PP is separating at the hip from GDL, regardless of the fact that many think this will be a repeat of his Syracuse experience. The difference is that this will be his last coaching job of his career, and he knows it. He wants to go out with success for his state university...

Your posts are immaterial. Just, please do not drone on about the coaching situation. I am not going to either endorse or criticize the coaches on this thread. It's not the place. Honestly, I really respect your opinion. But to bash the coaches on a post called "is next season our time" it's just piling on on IMHO. Find another place to discuss and leave those of us who want to discuss football alone.

You ARE the Hater Blog!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[whaler11]

I guess I'd ask this about P. How long did it take to realize Ollie can coach? Half a season?

Why does P get 6 times as long to prove he can't?

Ok talk about the football team's prospects without talking about the coaches.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Pasqualoni sucks and every day he is in charge is a bigger hole UConn will have to eventually dig themselves out of to get back to respectability.

Even ignoring taking a program that had been to 4 consecutive bowl games to back to back 5-7 seasons Pasqualoni has:

-Reassigned Foley who was our best positional coach in the program.
-Failed to properly use timeouts - not timeout strategy - but literally not understand when to call timeout.
-Failed to recognize the proper situation to kneel the ball and end games.
-The Wildcat...dear lord...the Wildcat.

I have absolutely zero faith that we can even get back to an Edsall level with Pasqualoni which was a consistently Top 40 type team when he left.

The point is, even if P can take us to 6-6 or 7-5, we're still delaying the inevitable, which is he has to go if we ever want to dream of being a consistent Top 25 type program.

Go post at the two other UConn sites then.

Where is the right place?

Next season will not be our right time. Because we don't have a good coaching team. The one coordinator that was worth a damn fired Coach P this winter.

How is that not on topic?
