OC Gordon Sammis to TCU

Good for him. Would have loved to see him stay, but it’s Castle’s ship to steer and he has to be given the ability and room to do so. Sammis will end up as a head coach somewhere at some point and might turn out to be a good one.

Castle?

Please stop this line - we just poached Toledo's top recruit. And we return to sender.

No, he went where the coach went, just as the Mora took Brown, Van Auken, Viver, Emanuel, Martinez, and Wimbush, who were UConn recruits.

So all is fair in recruiting, especially now.
 
This is good for Sammis and it’s good for the UConn brand. For years the only mentions we got were for being terrible. Our school is going to be in people’s ears going forward with the phrase “He did a great job at rebuilding UConn.”

Coach Sammis did a great job producing solid offensive lineman that gave us a chance to get up from the matt and have a chance to win games again. Then he took on being OC and we joined the ranks of BCS teams that have dynamic passing offenses. I never thought I would see it happen. Best of luck Coach Sammis and thank you.

I hope Candle succeeds wildly at UConn, but I really would prefer an OC. There aren't very many P4 programs that still have their HC do double duty as an OC or DC.

Agreed, but we’ll see. Maybe, he’ll be able to afford an OC he trusts now.

I like Sammis but Joe, Skylar and Cam had a lot to do with his success. He was good, but he also had some good players to work with.

It seems like Candle is a good play caller and even if he does empower an OC to run the offense here, he’ll step in if he doesn’t like the job he is doing. I’m really not worried about the offense. I’m more concerned about the defense. We had no D this year and now we need to mostly rebuild it. It will be challenging.

Well. It can work…see Kiffin…and Candle at Toledo. Then again…the biggest complaint about Napier at Florida is that he didn’t allow his OC to call plays.

Mora called the defensive plays until he realized a DC was a better option. Maybe Candle will change also. But….it seems like he can handle it.

I’m really not too worried I believe Coach Candle will bring in a coaching staff that will get this team rocking. As he said he will have a product on the field next year that we can all be proud of.
