Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

So we can’t get one mainstream reporter to get a comment of any kind from the staff? Tell us something.
Who? Jim probably has to call the reporters to get news out. LOL. We are dealing with this in corp media as well. Lack of news places, it is hard to get your story out. So, the answer is brand journalism and owned media.
 
Who covers UConn football? There is no one dedicated to the sport year round in any primary media source. They all got other jobs. I would say there really aren't any beat writers out there, there are people who cover the games, write features in season. But out of season? If it isn't a media invite event, we aren't going to get anything.

But as far as beat reporter stuff, such as recruiting/inside baseball stuff/notes. There is no one.
This is your fault John. Start covering sports again. /s

I really don't care who...just a story with an actual quote from the UConn admin on the situation. It could be any of the pseudo hobby media folk as well, many of them are pretty good. All I want from the quote is a acknowledgement of the Thamel news and an update on the timeline for the replacement. Practice starts next week....
 
Our media is pathetic and lazy. No other way to spin it.
I disagree. I think there are so few resources and reporters left, they only do things that can rate. The little things, like this, don't produce enough clicks, revenue, sales. How do you take them off things that do?

Media is in such peril these days, it's over. You are going to see more stuff like me, UConnblog, that new Storrs Central. Places that have a passion for the niche and will produce content. Won't be as good as the old media, since mostly unpaid, but it will fill the gap.

My suggestion for UConn is to hire a ream reporter. That way you can report news like this.
 
Well you know Lincoln’s first Vice President served in the Maine National Guard as a cook while he was Vice President. He was assigned to Fort McClary at Kittery Point. So VPs have held outside jobs. UConn OC and Vice President. As long as no minor foreign heads of state die during the season we’d be fine.

Perfectly fine with him doing both jobs.

Honestly, if all national offices were part-time jobs, we might all be better off for it.
 
Just to add to the "Where there's smoke" environment ", I was speaking to a former Husky player last week. He said that Dan O. Is getting tired of his tv gig & wants to get into coaching. Dan HAS helped out with spring practice in the past, so who knows...

I’d be surprised.

He’s in year two of a contract that pays him a multiple of what he would make here.
 
does anyone have access to share who might be a candidate?
Marques Tuiasosopo - Rice OC/QB. Worked under Mora at UCLA
Noel Mazzone - Pittsburgh Maulers (USFL) OC/QB. 20+ years as a P5 OC. Worked under Mora at UCLA. Was at UConn in 2021.
Adrian Klemm - Former Patriots OL. Worked under Mora at UCLA. No OC experience.
Bill Lazor - Houston Texans Offensive Asst. Been an OC in college and NFL. Worked with Mora in Seattle.
Gordon Sammis - O-Line/Run Game at UConn.

This is so true. Especially Congress. Stuff gets done if you have to get there by a horse and buggy and dont wan to return. Air travel has made it a commuter job.

Thank you - my vote is Bill Lazor
 
Tuiasosopo may have some recruiting connections in Texas.

Anyone who can help develop QB's works for me.

I like everybody EXCEPT the OL coach... Please no... Not again....
 
I loved how the team was humming the two weeks Mazzone was here last time

I don’t read the paid media guys. Their articles offer little and they never get scoops.

The bloggers do a better job and write better articles.

By the way. You did a good job back in the day.
 
Late + bad timing to replace OC. Need to be consistent to be successful. Did we just go through this a couple of years ago with DC out at the start of the season ? Maybe JM is the problem + and is not the guy behind closed doors we think he is. Can it be he is has a problem dealing with people ? Just a thought.
Kind of a stupid post. UConn is incredibly lucky to have Mora as its coach

Wait so I shouldn't come to the Boneyard for legit Husky news???

Lucky is a strong word. Have a lot of faith in Mora but whiffing on both his initial coordinator picks and the regression last season are not good looks
 
Or Saban or Belichek. (And yes I realize they're both defensive coaches. But that's not the point. They're available).
We filled the DC position.
 
We now need a nice two-step for the offensive side of the ball: (1) make a decent splash with a new OC that schemes a more modern style of offense and (2) pick up some skill position talent via the portal that becomes available post- spring camps.
