If you look at the replies to this post you will see at least 3 players asking to be looked at. Interesting - I wonder if this ever happened in the RE era(s)?

It happened w/ the same frequency on Edsall’s Twitter account.

That bat signal husky logo is what I will miss most about RE2.0, that used to get this place pumped up haha

It’s liked by a Pat Collins, whose twitter has no picture and no tweets, but says he’s UConn Football Executive Director. I cannot find anything about him online but he’s my only potential based on twitter activity. Anyone know anything about him?

What is the link to his twitter account?

Is today the day the rest of the coaching staff gets announced????

Mike London as DC?? Lots of UConn football followers. Charlton just followed.

That could be cool. He was a good coordinator and strong recruiter in dmv tidewater region.

It looks like a potential home run. Head coaches as coordinators.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Not familiar with him.

 

[ESLNKY03]

His son is on staff there as WR coach, wonder if finding his son a new home is the hold up?

 

[Ajs120102]

makes around 350 k currently, could easily match that.

could be Mike London Jr

on William & Mary staff as well

That would wreck my HC to DC angle

 

[AD DB Burner]

idk how much i would read into this one, could just be circumstantial since Charlton was a former HC opponent of London, Sammis was just hired directly off his staff, and Barthel was a former assistant as well.

Mike London Sr: Bill & Mary head coach now, ex-head coach of UVA, Richmond (FCS national championship team), and Howard.

This would be a huge win! Not much experience as DC but he is very familiar with the DMV area and was the head coach a Virginia. From a recuiting stand point this would be amazing. Mora can help him with play calling on defense.

Less DC experience than his old man, the ole WR assistant to DC career ascension switcheroo /s

or we're striking out with those we strongly want

We’ve got all these other great coaches (including on defense) and we’ve been striking out for weeks on a DC? Seems fairly unlikely.

Pure speculation but my guess is he had a couple candidates lined up who couldn't be announced as quickly as the position coaches were announced. During the delay, due to additional coaching turnover throughout the NCAA those candidates decided to wait and see what would be available for them outside of here. Either Mora said "fine, if you won't give me an immediate yes I'll move on", someone committed to a different job (under our radar) or the additional time allowed Mora to cast a wider net.

Regardless, I'm not worried about this detail.
