Pasqualoni Fired, per Desmond Connor

[ZooCougar]

Yeah... not so sure Sean will be on the Blitz next week (speaking the truth does not prevent ramifications from speaking the words).

He better be. Considering just about every other current and former player is rejoicing on social media.

Remember the time all those players gave P such faint praise, "He really got me ready for the NFL". What that really meant was: "I am so glad I don't have to listen to this loser anymore".

Finally "@hartfordcourant: BREAKING: UConn has fired football coach Paul Pasqualoni. Huskies are off to an 0-4 start this season"

If that is true.....WOW, simply WOW....

He never should have been hired in the first place. We can't fix the past, but the future is ours to control. Now Warde, go find us the right guy!!

The first step taken in returning the program to respectability.

Step 2 - appointing an interm head coach.

Step 3 - compiling the list of HC candidates

Step 4 - being granted permission to talk with candidates.

Despite what many think, WM is taking a reasoned and deliberate approach. This is the responsible way to proceed. None of us really know what conversations, negotiations have taken place.

At this point, I do not expect WM to reveal his furthers plans or potential HC candidates. And he shouldn't.

We have talent. We need a HC who has a vision, a plan to move forward and one who can accurately evaluate the talent on the team. We also need a HC with a personality that excites the players and the fans. We need a HC with some fire to win!

Enough said.

I'm a happy camper right now. There is hope!

I was expecting a lump of coal in my sock this morning and instead found the keys to a new car. What a present to give to the University and program.

Just hope UConn can recover their upward football trajectory quickly, starting with the next game.

THIS...

I don't dislike Coach P as a person whatsoever, but as HC at UCONN, just wasn't right for either side....

 

[ktuck911]

hillarious

 

[ktuck911]

The firing is on the front page of espn.com

http://espn.go.com/college-football...loni-fired-connecticut-huskies-football-coach

And I don't want to hear any CT HS football coach complaining about it either. That's what got us into this mess.

 

[Deleted member 3149]

any football coaches on the market that resemble Kevin Ollie?

 

[Dove]

This is hysterically wrong on so many levels.

And I empathize with the Coach as he is a passionate guy. Just the wrong guy.

 

[ktuck911]

Wait, but is GDL still there?

no.. he's gone too (see the espn article)

How out of touch was the press or were they so disengenuous simply running cover for access.

 

[Dove]

Kiffin's available - NOT a joke.

Maybe Tom Coughlin, too, soon.

Wrong how? I've always envisioned the 'Yard and its contributors, your truly included, just like this.


Bye Bye PPGDL. Wisg you no ill but I'm glad your gone. As we say here in Rio de Janiero; Tchau tchau!

 

[Marty Jackson]

I think it is a bit classier for UConn to do it on Monday...versus USC doing it the night of the game.

did I read or hear that Kiffin was actually pulled off the bus? if true, not very classy at all.

I would wish PPGDL no ill as well, but prefer to say to them... "vai te foder!"

True according to the two reports I read.
