OC Requirements/Job Posting

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.

Doesn’t want an 10+ year NFL OC with a superbowl ringHead bang

He's also been let go twice so a couple people smarter than me didn't think he was the right man for the job. FHCPP has 7 or 8 years of NFL experience. Do you want him back? GDL looks to have 4 or so. And the Super Bowl ring came in the same season the Seahawk defense was ranked #1 in terms of points allowed at 14.6.
All I'm saying is it's hard to tell if he's a real good coordinator or not. We might get lucky and find another Dan O, but I would expect the probability is low. We need a coordinator who can get it done with less, much like what JC inherited when he came to UConn.
Lastly, didn't say I wouldn't take him, you added that. I only stated my preference. Hopefully your head bang will help with reading comprehension. If RE and DB decide that Bevell is the right guy, I'm 100% behind their choice. I don't profess to be all knowing and am putting my faith in them.

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.

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.

Job posting for the OC job got revised. Job posting will end midnight tonight.

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!

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 posted this in December 2016:

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.
