I hate to point out that Diaco won this award while at Notre Dame.

To be fair, his defenses were always very very good.

Wait I thought he wasn’t a good OC? (Snark intended)

I thought that, then I watched some replays and I honestly thing he's been the best OC we've had in a while. If the Evers hit half of his throws, i'm Sure Sammis would be a shoe in.

-> Honor for Sammis

UConn offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Gordon Sammis has been nominated for the Broyles Award, which honors the nation’s top assistant coaches. Sammis was among 65 nominees chosen from more than 1,500 coaches. A select committee off football writers, broadcasters, Hall of Fame selectors and head coaches will eventually choose semifinalists, finalists and the winner. … Lundt, who has accepted an invitation to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl, will train in Minnesota following the season before heading to Mobile, Ala., for the Feb. 1 game. This has proven valuable to some of Lundt’s former linemates now in the NFL, including Matt Peart, Ryan Van Demark and Christian Haines <-

I'll be honest, I was not excited about the hire and felt we just settled for the cheap option. I'm still not in love but I've been impressed with the offense. We're one solid QB away from being a team that can beat, not just compete, with low end P4 teams. Credit to Sammis for getting the offense to that point. Hopefully we can use some new found NIL to get a QB or hope Welliver becomes the QB we all hope he can be.

they awarded 25% of all the DC/OCs in college football. While good this is not that good.

edit: I've already forgotten the last guy's name... it should point out just terrible he was.

Why do you have to be that guy.

I don't think that you do.

I’ll admit that when the promotion happened in the spring, I thought here we go again - cheap hire, unproven, stretched thin. He’s been really good and shows signs he will expand the playbook in time.

Now, after all that, I could argue he’s not the best coordinator we have. Feel like we have a very strong staff and I pray we run them back in 25.

I think we’re a good QB away from the top 25. I’m really impressed with the program overall.

I think we’re a good QB away from the top 25. I’m really impressed either way the program overall.

This!

We're #47 in scoring offense (31 points per game). That's with QB play that we can all agree has been lacking.

Imagine if we got excellent QB play?? If we increased our scoring 10 points per game, we would be the #2 scoring offense in the nation...

Since you seemed to go out of your way to pizzz on the guy - wanna help me w/ your math there?
