Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

Seems like the first round of announced/leaked coaching appointments were New England/Northeast guys and the rest of the staff from far-reaching areas. Hopefully the right balance of geographical recruiting areas; most important is that they're good positional coaches seven days a week. Fingers crossed we got the right guys.

Could Osborn actually be an Assistant DL coach instead of THE DL coach?

You could make him whatever you like until the official announcement - just going by the Twitter intel.

Good point. Off the top; not one TX recruit has been a + level player yet. In simplistic terms you are either a - player, neutral or plus level player. Maybe Modeste, Y. Walker and verbal commit Xavier Brown (should he stick) have the best chance to be a plus player.

They used to say about oil deals, no good investment opportunities ever left Texas. Maybe the same is true of high school football players.

Not really, Mora may be the defacto DC if he chooses. I want to see the OL coach.

They might all be hiding. Think about it. A RB Coach or a QB Coach only needs to recruit 1 above average guy in the position group, LB maybe 2 per year. But on this team the new OL Coach may need as many as 4 or 5 guys with at least 2 or 3 ready to plug in right away. It's a big challenge.

I am glad Mora spent 3 games watching this Team ... culture and coaching and internal psychology. I think his first hire point to some of his conclusions.

We spent a lot of time discussing how Warde was reactive to things going on around him. Can't say that about DB after the Hurley and Mora hires. Moving on Mora early was downright visionary.

Has got to then transcend these moves into better Players. More creative insightful ways to get the right Line and the WR playmakers. And ... the key still is the QB position. And then Charlton has a voice; but I think we still have the Mazzone insight on Phommachanh. We need elements of tremendous improvement in specific positional need.
 
it's hilarious

ALL of the prep schools that matter to us today (as opposed to 15-18 years ago when it was just Milford) are a short drive to Storrs. Without looking at the roster, I don't think we really have much yield from those in the last 10 years. RVD came from the Hun program in NJ; and we got a few others. But cmon ... what do I like about these programs? It is a grade significantly above the HS programs in NE & NY.

Yep and also he’s cousins with LSU’s old RB Kenny Hilliard as well. And Ike Hilliard is related as well

Nice! We need this kind of pedigree embedded on our staff. He gets it.

Why would he come here for that

It was loosely reported when I asked this. Now things are clearer with him. A team favorite @ Michigan. Should fit in nicely with us as DL coach. Happy to have him.

Underwhelmed by his resume' and got his head coach fired......:rolleyes:

I don't know how to place emoticons in this thread. But I would go eyesrolling on this.

YOU know what? cmon ... give me something>? Skip Holtz was a very successful tenure at Louisiana Tech - that's a fact. And this guy Allen? Was at Old Dominion until recent. Zyskowski has to have been around him. WHO did he mentor as Players? There is a list of guys at LA Tech and ODU on his resume on the Louisiana Tech. Methinks we need a bunch of tall 6-3plus guys plus Clercius; Cameron Ross to come back; Keelan Marion to improve. And there's the task. I am not underwhelmed.

Hands down my favorite add to the staff. Michigan fans out this way not happy with him leaving. Big thing though is we finally are out of the old retread of tired coaches who are just here for a paycheck or a favor from our former head coach.

Coaches are going hungry and willing to bring. The fun back got the game of football.

So anyone want to update their forecast on retained staff? At this hour looking/feeling closer to zero…

No announcement on a tight ends coach yet..........rooting for Corey even though there's little chance.

Sunday early afternoon recap

Head Coach: Jim Mora

OC: Nick Charlton?
RB Coach: EJ Barthel
WR Coach/Passing Game Coord: John Allen
TE: John Marinelli

DC:
LB Coach: Siriki Diabate
DB Coach: Dalton Hilliard?
DL Coach: Ryan Osborn?

Director of Player Personnel: Preston Pehrson ?

“?” = no official announcement from UConn yet
Expand ...
Given you get 10 total assistants that would indicate that there are three unknown, presumably: DC, OL & (likely) ST
 
Stinger92860 said:
Would Charlton also serve as QB coach?
Expand ...

That would be my assumption. The OC would typically work more closely with the QB than any other personnel group anyways as he tries to teach the principles of the offense they want to run.. and historically it was the role he had when he was last an OC.
