Poll: Who do you want as our Head Coach?

[ZooCougar]

That's a quick way to get blocked.

Oh No!

You are a complete genius. It needs to be said.

"The strength of UConn... the strength of UConn"..... LOL man everyone keeps missing the point. When was this strength of UConn in football? When they beat one of the worst Notre Dame teams in history or when they got pounded by Oklahoma in their only BCS bowl invite? I'm still waiting to see the strength of UConn football and I've been waiting longer than most here. And....once again I'll say it, hopefully the next guy in brings that to the fans because none of the other coaches, teams or offensive lines have yet. I'm not forgetting the fact that UConn has only been D-1 for a little over a decade but please....don't give me this strength of UConn football crap. I'm waiting for the day when I can go to the Orange or Sugar Bowl and see top 10 UConn play and win!! Then we can all reminisce about strong UConn football teams.

Wondering why you follow UCONN football then? UCONN had solid running game before though the entire time FHCRE was here and that changed with FHCPP. You can point to whatever you like, but that is a fact. FHCPP believed in one back carrying the load while most top programs have at least two backs carrying the load.

It really doesn't. It's okay to just act like a grown up sometimes.

 

[Adios]

That's still not folk hero status. In a few years we'll be saying..."who was that guy that filled in for PP after he was canned"? Lyman DePriest...that's a folk hero.

He will have that status if we keep winning and make it into a P5 conference. He saved us a bunch of games next season still trying figure out how to get the offense going. Now, we have it going. On all cylinders. His halftme speech against Temple might as well be put up in Burton.

Who the duckk voted for Jeff Quinn???

His halftme speech against Temple might as well be put up in Burton.

For all we know his halftime speech was:

"Hey Shane (Day), you want to give the playcalling a shot? What I've been calling sure as hell hasn't worked!"

 

[UConnNick]

I can't vote. 'None of the above' is not an option.

If I had to pick somebody from this list, it would be Lembo.

Who the duck cares about how solid of a running game UConn had while Edsall was here. What did it net anyone? A Rose Bowl win? A seat in the B1G? An undefeated season? Get real guys. Edsall couldn't get UConn into the top 25 consistently and neither could Pasqualoni. Time to find the guy that can because just like TCU, A&M, Mizzou and Louisville, that's how you get an invite to the power 5 conferences. That and not suing your potential partners. I've been a UConn fan since the early 70's when the only score for any UConn game you could find was buried in the "east" results in the back of the sports page. I played basketball in school and both B-Ball and football in the Army and could only dream of the day that my state school would be nationally recognized. Calhoun made that dream come true and now I wait for someone to do it in football. But unlike some of you I'm a realist and... a real college football fan. Over the years I've seen tremendous college football games and teams but NONE of them wore a UConn jersey, not when it really counted on a national scale. So quit looking back at what Edsall didn't do or P for that matter. UConn football glory days haven't even happened yet.

And.... keep in mind that your U. S. Senator did more to keep UConn out of the ACC than Pasqualoni ever could have. So if you want to start the blame game maybe you ought to start there.

Well, time to redo the survey. The top vote getter is out

ND fan here. I'm just curious, conversation on a couple of ND boards say Diaco to UConn is pretty likely. Narduzzi seems to be the top choice here, just wondering if Diaco is getting any serious attention, or if it's just ND paranoia.

Evidently those ND fans are pretty smart. Congratulations, you got a good one.

Smarter than whomever set up this survey! LOL

I tried to list all of the "most heard" options we'd been talking about but there's definitely a limit to poll options. My bad.
