I laughed at Marinelli's quotes too, but I can't take an old man who clearly suffers from dementia seriously.
This quote, however, also gave me a chuckle:
"JOE DELLAVECCHIA, ST. JOSEPH HIGH
"I would like to see somebody in interested in state kids, somebody who is going to take genuine interest and not just take token kids but use them as players. Somebody who is going to be creative in their offense, open it up a little bit and make it exciting throwing the football."
He wants UConn to hire someone who will take the in-state kids, but who will also throw the ball around the field. That's a heck of an oxymoron. Connecticut high school football is known for running the football because Connecticut barely produces any quarterbacks who can throw the ball over thirty yards. The two exceptions to that rule that are currently college-eligible are already on our roster- and even they aren't strong armed gun slingers. In order to play that style using Connecticut kids, Connecticut actually has to produce the quarterbacks to use in that system. It doesn't. High school coaches fail again.
