Lastest Coaching Rumor - UCLA OC Noel Mazzone

[ZooCougar]

I only agree with the hi-lited part of your post but it's enough for a like from me. If Ambrose is hired it's because Warde & Susan don't take UCONN Football seriously. I'm 95% certain Rob Ambrose will not be our next head coach. If he is, I'll gladly give up my 11 year season ticket status. They'll be cheaper in 3 years during the next head coaching search.

What a weird comment. That being said, if we hire Mazzone then I will be wondering if Warde is channeling Jeff Hathaway.

Ambrose is a killer. He would kick butt here. But there are plenty of coaches who could do that and better. We could do ALOT worse than Ambrose.

You only find it a weird comment because you have a, "we could do a lot worse" mentality. I chose to demand more.

"A LOT" is two words by the way.

Bingo (on both accounts):

>>When questioned if he has spoken with UCLA about a possible pay raise to stay on board, Mazzone shared that there hasn't been any dialogue quite yet, but added "that kind of stuff is for after the season." Mazzone is receiving $350,000 this season and is set to make $375,000 in 2013, according to ESPN's Peter Yoon.<<

One of the lower paid major coordinators in the PAC12/P5. UCLA DC makes $55ok

If this is really true, you gotta wonder if UConn only is lookng at a guy like Mazzone because they know he'll be cheap in comparision to a Narduzzi or even a MAC head coach (Lembo or Clawson). Right? This guy doesn't seem like the rigth fit to me.

Supposedly UConn is not looking @ Mazzone per Des but Mazzone is making more than Lembo ($350k +/- ) and is close to Clawson ($400k in 2014). Narduzzi is @ $512k.

Thanks grammar dude. That didn't add ALOT to your argument. Ambrose could be the best guy out there, and he would cost a fortune up front.

Thanks ALOT.

The Ambrose possibility from Desmond worries me a bit. I don't think he's what we need. More than anything, the next coach can't be a New England guy or be associated with UConn (unless Belichick). He must be associated with a school in the P5, and in the upper half of its conference historically. I think it's important for UConn to create a connection to a strong football program by association, to distance ourselves from small time and mid major status.

Yeah, he needs to be young and be able to coach too.
