Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

I think the original target had a change of heart.

That and some other possibilitie materialized for their Plan B. Why else would the deadlines keep getting extended?

Compensation snag

Well, that would not cause the deadlines to keep pushing out unless a failure to reach agreement on compensation happened with the last acceptable candidate.
 
Could also be as simple as the target wants to visit campus first, and has been delayed for one reason or another.

A million possible reasons.

We can't find a suitable DC and this is how Spanos will back into the position!!!

At one point after The Edsel was sent to the junk yard I was hopeful for Spanos. Not anymore.

The closing date for the job postings has been changed to December 13..

On a positive note, 4 days of decreased DC-hiring clicks.

Post Army-Navy game: DC candidate reporting for UConn duty ?????

Or, FCS DC candidates from this weekend's semi-final playoff participant: Sam Houston St, Montana St, NDSU, or ETSU (SE/Mid-Atlantic recruiting target range?) ?????

Other, T.B.D.
 
At this point Mora should take the DC job, he’s better at running a defense than anyone he would hire lol.
Seriously though you wonder if we are churning thru our top candidates and falling short on them if we end up going back to Spanos.
 
Is it just me, or is this situation slightly unusual? (Yes, I know, I am leaving myself open in posing this question.) On D, UConn has hired the DL coach, the LB coach, and the secondary coach withour hiring the guy they will report to. That seems awfully odd. I understand grabbing desirable candidates quickly before they go somewhere else, but not having input to the position coach hires would seem to lessen the attractiveness of the situation to a candidate DC. Is this a common situation in CFB?

FWIW, DL still hasn't been announced.

Pretty sure RE didn't default into Uconn in the Football Big East. He was hired specifically to get us into Big East Football. Hiring Edsall provided the gravitas needed for acceptance. Edsall was perfect for team moving to Div1

If you think so. Im not putting him down for the way he was transitioned. I do know I went to games he coached against D1A teams as we were talking about transition and our D got pushed all over the field. He surprised me by being adequate in the BE but he certainly benefited greatly by Danny O staying home. I’m sure he felt under appreciated and that’s why he exited to MD the way he did. He was never as good as he imagined himself and sadly flopped like a rag doll in his reincarnation. I just want a respectable, entertaining product for my seasons ticket money. .
 
I wonder why they waste their time telling us a closing date when it just keeps getting moved at will. Just say you will have a DC by April and cut the BS.

Honestly Mora doesn’t have to worry about dc as much
