John Dunn Takes the Reins of UConn Offense

>>Dunn emphasized a player-driven offense, as opposed to a play-driven approach. Using the spring practice season to assess the team and each players’ skills will be crucial, heading into the summer months.

“That’s part of the process going through the spring and figuring out what is our best personnel grouping, and figuring out how much running we can do and how much passing we can do,” said Dunn.

If there is one thing Dunn has learned since beginning his coaching career, it’s to not make quick judgments in player evaluations over short periods of time. This spring, he will focus on skillsets, using effort and toughness as the baseline.

“Effort and toughness have to be the foundation. That’s something you have or you don’t,” said Dunn.<<

Love his comments on effort and toughness. Those are two defining characteristics of winning UConn football teams of the past. Tough, hard-nosed, gritty, high energy guys that never quit and wanted it more than the guy across the line. Love this!
