OC Requirements/Job Posting

[CL82]

Job posting for the OC job got revised. Job posting will end midnight tonight. Just saw it at uconn.edu

What changed?

That’s not the way it works - sorry about that

Then UConn is in the dark ages. It's gotta lot to learn from industry. Its record the last seven years is also indicative of that fact.

What changed?

The post ends today instead of tomorrow night

The current UConn employment website states revised, but what was actually changed from the original OC job listing other than subtracting 1 day 11:59 pm 1/11 versus 1/12 (1st post in thread)? Nothing appears to have changed in the actual job description, but anyone seriously interested has likely already contacted UConn.

Doesn't this usually tip our hand? meaning, we'll probably know who our new OC/QB coach will be early next week?
If so, good news..

Sometimes it gets leaked out on the weekends. That’s what I’m hoping!

Why, does he deserve it?

Solid track record building a defense at Nova. Should have been obvious given the context of my post.

I wasn’t impressed with his track record at UConn. Maybe he lacked talent and that was the reason or so we can hope.

If I wasn’t under the weather I could probably track it down. But, yeah very, very soon - we will know.

I think he’s a great candidate. A lot of people wanted him this time last year.

Donnie Kirkpatrick fits the bill:

He has all the check marks

Kirkpatrick Coaching History:
Years School Positions

2016 - James Madison Offensive Coordinator- QB coach
2005-15 East Carolina Asst. Head Coach, Wide Receivers, Recruiting Coordinator
2003-04 Western Carolina Wide Receivers
2000-02 Chattanooga Head Coach
1998-99 Chattanooga Offensive Coordinator
1995-97 Louisville Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks
1993-94 Eastern Michigan Asst. Head Coach, Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers
1989-92 South Carolina Quarterbacks, Recruiting Coordinator
1984-88 Appalachian State Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Defensive Ends

I believe his best attribute is he took a totally new offensive in his first year as Offensive coordinator to the #2 offense in FCS and playing in National Championship game. He also spent 10 years with a team in the AAC, East Carolina.

I liked it then so I must like it now too! Seriously we've mentioned a few good options and a couple that seem like a step back. Let's hope for the first group.
