The problems UConn has are with management of the football program. End of the day, UConn hasn't invested in football. Mora and the coaching staff are making the same salary as PP and staff 11 years later. We have hired coordinators with no experience because that is what we could afford. We were slow to ramp up NIL.I alluded to this in my other posts, but the bigger question(s) and comments is not UConn's NIL in comparison to the Ohio State's and Michgan's and Alabama's of the world. I think it's in comparison to the Sun Belt conference teams' NIL and the mid to lower level team NIL. Why are those mid to lower level teams in D-1A consistently better than UConn in football. I would think their NIL payments are comparable to UConn's. It can't be just the fact those teams are in a conference and UConn isn't-UConn has more resources that should offset the conference issue.
I do have hope for this year even after this debacle. And, I thought starting Fagnano today was the smart play because Evers had never really played a college game or any game in 3 years. I thought bring in Evers in the Merrimack game and let him win the job during that game.
