I disagree and so does Jim Mora.

Since you're obviously with the family for the holidays, what does his son think?

He thinks that that anyone who thought that that the defense was up to snuff should get coal in their stocking.

The BCU guy who writes for the New London paper states that Spanos may be pondering legal action against UConn.

Oh great. Ollie part 2.

I can’t find the article but there was something on The Athletic the other day that said Edsall said he only left campus for the Summer months and it also mentioned Spanos was suing UConn.

Legal action because UConn was 2-22 under Edsal and Spanos for two years? Spanos was always pondering things, even when calling plays.

For what? Paid leave?

This was the unattributed comment in The Day:

“The Athletic also alluded to the departure of former defensive coordinator Lou Spanos, who took over as interim coach after Edsall stepped down — and then left the program for what was described as personal reasons two weeks before the season opener.

“We haven’t seen him since the day he left,” Mora told The Athletic. “He’s just in the rearview mirror.”

Except that several sources say Spanos is pondering a lawsuit against UConn and the football program, which may cost the university, already awash in the athletic department’s financial woes, more money in payouts. Stay tuned on that one.”

Any word on what we're doing here other than the previous rumors closer to around the time Spanos took a leave of absence. I know there was speculation here and there, but nothing concrete... Any updates???

He's still digesting their loss to us.

Attention seeking behavior…

That’s crazy. Mora could get him a job in the NFL if he wants it, then everyone is happy.

 

[Palatine]

After the Ollie decision where the university lost even though there was proof Ollie broke NCAA rules, everyone should sue UConn. Our lawyers obviously stink.

 

[Buffett10]

Lou is a trash coach who should’ve been shown the door when Edsall got fired

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

So Dimauro can't find out why our QB situation was what it was (When was Millen surgery, is Millen expected to be fully healthy?, what about tyler P?).....but he is all over Mora's comments on Edsall and rumor of a Spanos lawsuit.

Hard not to think his priorities aren't to trash the program.

Well he has straight up stated basically it is and the calls himself BCgenius on twitter while he takes shots at the school and calls people who went to UConn idiots. He has attacked Mora multiple times and seems to defend Edsall even when there is no reason to

Sounds like "journalism" as it appears to be taught today.
Put some spin on an issue but try to disguise it as a valid story.

Imagine how it must feel to be a BCU fan working in CT and understand it's his way of coping.

Oh great. Ollie part 2.

Didn’t Spanos get paid through the end of his contract?

 

[UConnJim]

Didn’t Spanos get paid through the end of his contract?

Yes

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Yes

So what could a lawsuit be about? Defamation? Blocking his ability to run a passive defense?

Unless modified, his contract has another year on it. I imagine there is some posturing underway.

From the LOA announcement:

“Spanos’ two-year contract, which runs through Dec. 15, 2023, was fully executed in April. His salary for 2022 is $327,608, with a bump to $335,000 in 2023. Spanos continues to be paid, UConn said.”

 

[Bongo Fury]

Sounds like unless they pay him off, Mora is the DC next year? I’m okay with that.

Well, he didn’t do anything this year due to an unspecified illness. How do we know that he is fully recovered?

 

[NowInStorrs]

Must be nice to just not show up to work for almost two years and still get paid as if you had
