New DC Candidate Possibilities

[Exit 4]

Defensive coordinator job is reposted and will end 1/7/19

Wow, really has been extended again. What can you conclude?

Perhaps we had two different guys soft circled who backed out at the last moment? Perhaps those dudes got the pay raises they were looking for and decided not to come.

An error has occurred.

Would be nice to grab a guy like a Jay Bateman (DC at Army) as well... Decent resume here:
Army West Point Athletics - Jay Bateman - 2018 Football Coaching Staff - Army West Point

I think it will be hard to find one that is decent. I hope they don’t hire a joe smuck

Uh-oh....

 

[ktuck911]

I truly hope we don't go the Lashley route (again.. one and done)...

 

[gioff2323]

Uh-oh....

With all of the movement in coaching circles, I am not surprised to see this. There are a lot of college and NFL coaches that are now available for the right opportunity.

So probably one of Todd Bowles? Vance Joseph? or Marvin Lewis?

Of course not. But their whole staffs are essentially up for grabs.

 

[CL82]

Of course not. But their whole staffs are essentially up for grabs.

I wonder if the delay is due to a new target becoming available. It probably is due to change of heart, counter offer though.

AP - Storrs, CT.

Meh McMediocreson will be named new Defensive Coordinator at the University of Connecticut. He will reportedly make $30,000/yr. His sterling resume includes leading ITT Tech to a 2011 top 500 defense in the prestigious tech trade company football conference, creating one takeaway during his 5 year stint as DC, and running a northeast friendly 2-1-3-2-3 prevent defense.

"I'm excited to get this opportunity," McMediocreson said. "The days of UConn giving up touchdowns on the first play from scrimmage are over. My prevent defense will ensure it will take at least 2 plays. And if I have to sneak a few cones or tackling dummies on the field, I will do it."

In an unrelated item, UConn also announced the hiring of a new Tiddly Winks coach who will make a reported $5M/yr and construction on a new on-campus quidditch facility will begin immediately. Estimated cost of the quidditch facility is around $1B.

"It's important for the UConn brand to continue to fund all non-football sports at absurd levels," AD David Benedict said. "The less money we devote to football, the more often UConn Nation can enjoy iconic moments in our program like our coaching staff collapsing to the field in exhaustion and complete bewilderment after barely beating our FCS rivals."

AAC Tiddly Winks chairperson was unavailable for comment.

what a stupid post. If you have no interest in uconn get off the boneyard

Oh boy, someone just crawled out from under a rock. Dooley is one of the most vociferous supporters of UConn athletics. He is venting..he is having some fun.. chillax

Welcome to the internet.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I give you an "A" for effort. However, you are fully responsible for all the follow-on attempts by other posters which will be truly abhorrent.

I rest my case. This is on you Dooley.

I am so very sorry. I admit that I did not confirm with my source of the exact contract details. Can you please confirm and write up an update to the original news story? I'll share the breaking news credit with you 50/50.

 

[Dooley]

You tried warning me but I didn't listen.

Yes, I knew it wasn't serious. Hence the "of course not", an acknowledgement that it was a tongue in cheek comment. But the staffs are something Edsall will be looking at.

Saban wasn't willing to come be our DC until after the NC game.

Yes I suppose you were doing a public service by shutting down that tangent of silliness early.

Edsall does have a legitimate gripe about moving signing day 2 up to the first Wednesday in March.. because of these type of coaching changes that go on..

Nobody cares about the UNC thing - opposing fans get their panties in a bunch over it, very few athletes and even fewer people in the coaching profession care about it.

What this says to me in a completely uneducated way is it’s potentially someone on the coaching staffs of either the Eagles or Colts. Both of them went into the final weekend playing to get in, if they didn’t the hire could have occurred this week. Now the date is extended to the 7th to see if they win their respective wild card game. If it gets extended after this week to the 14th and one of those two teams win, we could speculate which team and potentially who. But I also could be 100% wrong.

Whoosh, the sound of the clear distinction sailing past you, I.e., chapel hill’s purportedly-eliminated no work, no class course strategy versus the USMA which Bateman departed.

 

[gioff2323]

It wasn’t that subtle. If you feel there is ONE program that doesn’t bend requirements for athletes, name it.

Maybe Rod Marinelli from the cowboys

I’d have gladly done no work for a grade/credit and many of my teammates were able to do that - never register for a class hop in on the final where the questions were given in advance and get the grade and miraculously get the credit. It’s a school that ranked higher in the academic rankings than UConn - do those rankings mean anything, probsbly not.

I didn’t get to take advantage of that but did get the athlete friendly professors and classes where I was able to get grades to remain eligible while doing little to no work. It also happens at all levels - D3-D1 schools

People feign ignorance of such things - it’s hardly uncommon.

It’s absurd that it happens and it’s equally absurd that people still think much of college athletics have anything to do with college.

The topic has been discussed plenty here over the years.

Subtle? No, the example for Bateman was specific.
