New Head Coach Criteria

Matt Patricia mentioned. IDK about that.

Maybe as a defensive coordinator, of course I doubt he's leaving Ohio State to come here.

He has no interest in recruiting or anything like that, and he was horrible as a HC in the NFL. The BB Coaching tree as HCs is kind of awful.
 
I want someone who has been head coach before, knows how to deal with the portal and NIL, has both College and NFL experience, will engage with our fanbase, understands what UConn and Storrs are like, understands goal of getting us into the P4, over 6 feet, handsome, likes dogs.

Is that to much to ask for?

Hasn't been a head coach. This is a very tricky job. Going from a position coach to HC? I don't know.

Looks like a great coach though.

But he has been an associate HC so he has presumably been a part of running the day to day. And he is an all-star recruiter.

Really? Know nothing about him.

Who could the NFL coach be? Better not be Daboll or Adam Gase.

Spencer had a cup of coffee on the Giants staff a few years ago. Could be him.

Saban wants to see Dabol at Penn State.

It's Spencer. He used to coach in the NFL and he's from Hartford like the tweeter.

Spencer in a hot minute, yes please

I would like him as a Defensive Coordinator if we lose Brock.

I would like to get a quality coach who can recruit and keep the system going.
I wonder if Mora knew he was leaving on Senior Day? Why did UConn have 37 people walk?

There is really one thing we need in the next coach we hire and that’s NFL coaching experience. I mean real coaching experience, not an assistant line coach or any obscure thing like that. They to have connections with players in the league and connections to others within it.

Let’s be real. This is a tough gig and you aren’t getting transfers to come here for the stadium/campus atmosphere, national exposure, or chance to win a championship. So why was Mora so successful? Players loved him and knew he had the knowledge of what it took to play in the NFL. He still was connected to the game and knew what his kids needed. How many transfers said that Mora’s NFL experience was a big reason they came?

If we hire a coach without previous success as a college head coach, we need someone who has previous experience at a good level in the NFL. It’s the only angle we can play and why we were able to get the players we did.

Oh. I don't know about a position coach going to HC.

If we do something like that I hope we bring on a mentor (someone who has had success running a program before).

We should be looking to NDSU, Montana, Montana St and other Missouri Valley coaches. All completely dominate the FCS with little to no NIL money and smaller athletic budgets than UConn.

I have had a few posts in the past mentioning at least NDSU. Both Montana schools would be good, too. NDSU is a top tier FCS team that play mid-level P4 teams tough.

Saban swears by Daboll

Says he's a good recruiter, a top OC for him, and can put together a good staff. We could only hope he would consider us, Saban wants him at Penn St.

Northeast guy. Giants are paying him next year so we can even pay him low the first year. His problems with the Giants stem from an awful GM and the defensive side of the football, which means he needs a top notch DC of course.

After molding Josh Allen, Jalen Hurt and Jaxon Dart he should at least be able to pull in QB's, which is half the battle in college football.

In addition, he's a name who would show the power conf. crowd that we continue to be serious about football

It seems extremely likely it was a lifestyle decision. I figured he would coach here a couple more years and then retire to the mountains and rivers.

I agree 100% This was why I thought all the speculation would be just that, speculation. I didn’t see him wanting to move again, start over again, and run the risk of flaming out to end his career. I thought he’d continue to build what he has here and retire in a few years to the mountains and be able to look back at the masterpiece he had created. Instead he went down the river to CSU.

given the players we are losing this year along with much tougher schedule there is a great chance next season will not go very well. Maybe that is why Mora decided to leave now while this on top.
