I would expect it to work the same way as in industry. After a preliminary phone interview the candidate visits Storrs. The interviewee talks for half an hour to an hour with a number of people including RE2.0, DB, the other two coordinators, assistants on the offense side, couple other people in the athletic department. You are looking for fit, folks. RE does the first slot in the morning, the lunch, and the wrap-up in the evening which might also include dinner. Who else is invited is pretty much up to him. A meeting is held the next day where views are made known. Decision to proceed to the next step (the short list) is made by RE with input from DB. Nothing unusual.

Likely not going to be that complex from my experience in a several of these searches. Posting is pulled on January 12 @ 12:01am based on posting. Contacts/candidates. are likely already being "screened"/"interviewed"; might not even be a campus visit if candidate is familiar to RE & the decision-makers are satisfied. Would not be surprised if if hire is announced within couple days after posting is pulled. Sometimes the contract negotiation takes longer than the selection process; don't be surprised if the initial confirmation is a memorandum of agreement with contract to be finalized later.

I'm touching up my resume this week for a potential internal promotion at work.
I'll submit mine for this job too. It should allow me to use these two job opportunities as leverage to get a better package from the job I end up choosing.
And, by applying for the OC job, should I not get selected, it allows me full reign to complain against whichever dubious candidate they do choose.

Plus you can add "Candidate for Offensive Coordinator at FBS School" to your resume.

Well, if RE is the sole decision maker that could happen. This position is too important for that. The AD and others are gonna want the full dog and pony.

I hope this isn't such a cold hire that candidates need to be brought in for face to face.

I'm sure RE & DB are hand in hand on this one; others are involved. It's a fluid process that moves pretty seamlessly. My experience is that it is not uncommon for "informal" shortlists to be kept for key positions on the staff - the OC would be one of those positions.
 
For the Boneyard's über alles gridiron gurus and legitimate OC candidates alike, roughly 55 hours remain to submit your resumes. Hurry up!

He would immediately become the best recruiter on the staff.

The old saying goes, the johnny's and joe's are more important than the x's and o's.

He's failed everywhere he's been outside of being an analyst at Alabama

I've decided that I prefer a guy with recruiting ties to Ohio. I think we are under represented in an area that produces a lot of QB's for the MAC that are consistently better than what we bring in. Other positions as well but, there always seem to be QB's in that league that should be playing at a higher level.

Really, I just want a guy who can coach this squad into the endzone and don't really care where he is from. But, I think the Ohio thing is a good idea.
 
JMick said:
Well I'm glad we've got someone. When do they usually announce it? The Monday after the posting period closes?

The NFL experience has me a little worried. I hope we aren't going back to a pro-style offense

Unless it's a New England pro style offense.

We could go back to ground and pound. Zig when they zag! By which I mean score 24 while they score 42!

Def not. Never been anything other than a WR coach, I highly doubt we'd have him calling plays

I personally would not want this to happen, but the only way things would shake out would be McCardell coaching WRs and Aaron Smith (who's only been a passing game coordinator, never an OC) getting promoted. Pass.

It wouldn't work because we still wouldn't have a QB coach...I'm pretty sure whoever we bring in needs to be a QB coach

Thats why I said interesting, my first thought was that randy gave Aaron the OC job and McCardell would slide into receivers. I wouldn’t rule out an internal promotion or a hire whose previously been a part of RE’s staff.

Do you guys honestly think ANY NFL WR coach would come to UConn to also coach WR? Come on...If you want the name recognition of Keenan McCardell then he would only accept some sort of promotion, not a move that would be considered a step backwards.
 
Darrell Bevell is available. He was fired today by the Seahwaks. Coached here previously under Skip and RE 1.0

Checking his Wikipedia page, it's hard to tell if he's any good. He had good numbers at times with Favre and Wilson. But Wilson played this year and he was released.
I think I'd prefer someone with a clearer history of success, especially if they took a poor performing team to a higher level. I want to believe they can do it here (with less unfortunately).
