Nice background: Kendrick Shaver - Football Coach - University of Connecticut Athletics

-> Kendrick Shaver joins the UConn football coaching staff in 2025 and will serve as an assistant coach working with the defensive back. Shaver brings over 20 years of coaching experience including 12 years coaching and recruiting at the FBS level to the UConn staff.

Shaver's last stop was working with UConn defensive coordinator Matt Brock at Mississippi during the 2023 season. He served as a defensive analyst focused on the defensive backs position. He worked primarily with the team's safeties and on special teams while also assisting in the evaluation process of recruiting the transfer portal.

Prior to his stint at MSU, he spent two seasons on the staff at Tulsa where he was the team's safeties coach. He spent the fall of 2020 working in The Spring League as a secondary coach after spending the 2018 and 2019 seasons as the safeties and nickleback coach at Washington State University.

Shaver spent seven seasons working on the defensive coaching staff at Utah State, the last two in 2016 and 2017 as the team's co-defensive coordinator. During his tenure he coached the cornerbacks and safeties as well as the outside linebackers. He helped lead a program that played in a school-record five-straight bowl games, to go along with a 2012 Western Athletic Conference championship. <-
 
Come on! Do your research UConn communications!!!
UConnHuskies.com references Shaver’s last role being at Ole Miss (incorrect) and with Mississippi State (correct) and current UConn DC Brock. Reporting fumble aside, Shaver’s few years as Co-DC with Utah State, couple years with then P5 Wazzu, analyst role with Mississippi State for a year before a head coaching change, and other extended D coaching experience is a positive. Taking the positive.
 
I like this hire a lot. Lots of coaching experience and worked with Brock before. I think we see some more improvement in the secondary.
 
In Mora we trust, in recruiting coaches as well as players.
 
It has to be tough. These vagabond coaches are always on the move.
