New Year's Wish

Generally speaking the job gets posted after the new coach is found. Then you write and publish a job Req that miraculously matches your new hire.

History at UConn has shown the job posting means they have the new hire. Now they're just meeting legal and HR requirements.

For the OC position, is Jimmy Serrano applying? I sure hope so.

True, in May my information was the Big 12 was expanding and they did go down that path and it took many twists and turns after that - the information was good - but the future is never certain - in this case the networks really pushed back hard.

Huskymedic - you know you are not being fair because I IM you about where a football recruit was going and when this year and it was on the money - you did not mention that prediction in your post.

at work, when my forecasts don't come to fruition, I've used the line "the forecast was correct, reality was off..."
goes over will with the executives.

Say what you want about my next comment, but you know who I honestly wouldn't mind one bit became our HC? He just got canned, yes, but he brings in recruits and his offense normally produce... and yes, he's a little older but...

Tommy Tuberville.

Uuuh no.

Nailed it.

OC job has been posted...he is wrong again! Looking for some one who will be OC/Asst head Coach/QB coach

Laughing at you and Chiefoo going back and forth with both your speculations
But please clarify - you refer the position as Asst Head Coach but I see Asst Coach - to me there is a difference - aren't all Coordinators Asst coaches?
I really don't know - just asking
I also tend to agree to some extent with those who feel that the position has been filled and the state came out with posting outlining the background of the chosen to cover the PC crap

I read it wrong...it is just Asst. Coach. You are right all Coordinators are Asst coaches..some are Asst or Assoc Head Coaches like Diaco was at ND. The way UConn has written the job posting of the past 2 OC hires and the last hire Wr coach Erik Campbell the "Preferred Qualifications" were written around each coach's resume. As for my back and forth with Chief...he's a moron who likes to spot off about his "insider" information here on the football board....when in fact he doesn't have any and makes predictions like this this thread that don't come true.

Kudos Chief

Chief nailed it, all hail to the Chief.

Eh, if your gonna axe a coach you just take the hit to your recruiting class that year. It's not like we're battling Bama for the top class in the country. The only reason for a delay is the buyout money. I'm almost positive Diaco is coming back for year 4 though.

Never happier to have,been wrong.

My wish is that someday we don't lose in-state players like Ben Mason from Newtown to schools like Michigan. He's a 3* and UCONN wasn't even in consideration. This needs to change. Les Miles would change this.

This isn't going to change until UConn is in the P-5. Good, bad or indifferent that is reality.

So would a conference change. P5 is a powerful draw.
