Let's get smart.....

[uchusky32]

Let's get smart and hire Joe Moorhead right now as "offensive coordinater". pay him what we pay Idiaco and wait for the buyout to drop in 2018. We should also strip him of any decision making and just make him a lame duck.

Why on earth would we get smart?

Because then what happens if we somehow go 7-5 or 6-6 and make a bowl? We now are in the position of setting a precedent of firing coaches after four years who make bowls in two of those first four years.

You're actually concerned about this happening.

Yes because being an OC is better than a head coach at a 1-A program. You can try to kill UConn all you like but it is still a better job than an assistant

I don't think you understood anything I typed.

First, I typed that he would not be here as an OC. I hope you agree with that, otherwise I will question your sanity.

Second, I said we would be lucky to have him as a head coach. He's going to command a lot of offers and a lot of money, that's for sure. Especially after what his offense is doing tonight.

Do you disagree with any of that?!? Really? If you think I'm dogging my university, you are mistaken. But is my university willing to pony up the money to get rid of fish oil and pay Moorhead the money he would command on the market? Hopefully, I'm pleasantly surprised on January 2nd...

No, but did anyone at this time last year think we'd be 3-9 and score 0 points for 16 straight quarters? Theoretically, we could go 6-6 and hiring a "coach-in-waiting" as a coordinator makes the situation completely untenable if that happens. Do you fire Diaco when he goes to a bowl? Now you've set a precedent that you fire coaches at UConn who make bowls, that's bad. Do you keep Diaco on and tell Moorhead he has to continue being the "coach-in-waiting?" Either fire Diaco now or keep him and hire someone later when you do fire him. Coach in waiting is a ridiculous idea.

Does he have a kid? Skip Moorehead?

I hope so. That was a highly rated episode of Happy Days, and they went on to years of continued success.

I would suggest spending time thinking about options that are logical and possible.

The only thing I can come up with is when the professor who's working on the time machine finally gets it done we hire Matt While to replace Edsall.

As you typed that, did you hear the professor saying, "Good news everyone!"

You do know they designate coaches as "head coach in waiting" when you have a coach about to retire. They don't designate a head coach in waiting for a coach about to be fired.

This whole concept of getting Moorhead at UConn as an OC is just silly and won't happen. Saying he would be head coach in waiting doesn't help your case...and is even sillier. I would suggest spending time thinking about options that are logical and possible.

It would e better to stick a pin into him/her (from afar, of course) so all that hot air/hate can explode. But as he said- why respond if you thought he was being silly. His/her message was for the like-minded. Reading the post tells me that this is not just/only about firing Diaco- it's about humiliation. I fear that a call is just around the corner to have Diaco tied up at the Rent. so that the student body- the willing-- can go and spit on the man/the false prophet.

From a Community episode. Now that's a great show.

I love threads that start of by saying we should do something smart and then offer up an undeniably dumb idea.

Moorhead is not coming here to be OC. We'd be lucky if he would actually agree to come here as a head coach, much less an OC...

I'm starting to think that when Diaco gets the ( Joe Pesci scene from Goodfella's) axe no one will want to come here

I think he's just saying Don Adams could do a better job.

Well, we can always offer a lot of cocaine, like Ray Liotta's character...or like Louisville...
