Can confirm @YahooForde report on Joe Moorhead and UConn. While flattered by rumors, he has no interest in leaving Penn State right now

dangit

 

[Adios]

Key words, "right now". Season is not over yet.

Time shall tell.

He doesn't want to be a distraction to his team as it prepares for the bowl game.

Yup "right now" is very ambiguous. "right now" = Show me the money

Moorhead coached at Fordham, of course he would take the UConn job

Not quite sure what you're implying? I mean, Vince Lombardi coached at Fordham, Moorehead is a Fordham alum? By the way, Moorehead's 2013-2015 Fordham teams, that beat Army, Temple, etc - would have given UConn all it could handle.

How have I not seen this username before? A+

Todd Orlando?

 

[Devland]

Living down here in football country, I'm hoping we get Les Miles but that's just a dream. The guy can recruit w anyone including Saban. We will be a top 25 team in year 1 , hands down! And if he decides to leave later on he would left the program in great shape.

Tampahusky lives in Texas?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Moorhead or Miles please.

If we hire Shiano I'll cry.

Edsall is fine but that would likley mean our first options said no.

Al Golden is intriguing and probably realistic, but he's your classic retread.

Orlando would be boring but solid.

 

[MASSconn]

Schiano would bring a TON of publicity to our program. If he was forced to bring in a very good OC I'd be so in.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I think it was mentioned somewhere else...and I know he said he didn't want to get back into head coaching due to his health...but Jerry Kill was at Minnesota when Benedict was there. To be honest, I didn't know much about Kill...but looking at his background, he would be a good choice. Especially with successful HC experience in a tough place to win.

I still think BD will look to someone he knows....like Lashlee or Kill.

Kill is now at Rutgers as the OC. Signed on last week.

Is his first name Road?

I know. Doesn't mean he wouldnt make a change to be HC again.

im surprised there hasn't been more mention of fleck

 

[SubbaBub]

You guys have a lot of faith in familiarity. Too much I think. TJ? Really?

Next guy needs a dramatic turnaround. I could give a fig where he used to live.

 

[SubbaBub]

Im hearing Moorhead took himself out of consideration

As he should. Guy is one year away from a P5 job. Going 5-7 at Uconn is going in the opposite direction of that.

 

[SubbaBub]

I hope DB has his guy. If only to shorten the weeks of speculation.

Agreed. TJ would be disheartening. We cannot be someone's training ground again. I would personally like Les Miles despite his offensive issues. He is a monster recruiter and can run a program. Total nut job but he could easily make us an 8 win program in the short term.

and the dribble on this board.

To name a threat "The official not to hire ..........." is ridiculous.

 

[Walker11]

Didn't see this posted.

Granted, there are dozens of threads so this is tough to keep track of. But this has been brought up multiple times already.

Whatever the hire is, I like this guys train of thought.

Plenty of #uconnfootball alum who have been earning their stripes over the last decade. They need to be considered for assistant jobs

The Fat White Guy ‏@TheFatWhiteGuy 2m 2 minutes ago
Can we agree that there has to be an assistant on new staff with UConn roots and ability to recruit? <cough> @JonathanWholley <cough>

 

[ZooCougar]

Some reporting from Fox Sports as well as a TV station in PA confirming Moorhead is not a candidate and will stay at PSU. More smoke accumulating that he is not coming.

Or just an echo chamber.

 

[Waquoit]

The man has the potential to get a statue of himself erected around the Rent.

That would be quite an superjohn.
