Some interesting posts from the Virginia 247 board. First guy doesn't think much of the moves, nor of UConn in general. However, the last two guys, the ones who appear to be intelligent...lol ...they seem to understand the value they just lost! Brown is spoken of well here too.

I dont see losing Dex a big deal. If it wasnt for his recruiting i think he should of been one of the coaches let go last year. I just dont think he a good coach and now they want him tu be the DC at Connecticut. This is truly a recruiting move but I dont see Dex having a huge impact in rexruiting either. Have your ever seen Uconn stadium? I dont even know what conference they are in. Now if we lise Brown and West than im upset. I say move Tenuta tu DL coach and bring in the penn state DL coach as our DC. I forget his name right now.

Probably because you don't have clue in terms of how Dex can sell our university. The guy is an icon of our football program. Also, when was the last position coach at UVA to have a 1st team All American? Dex just delivered one! West was an empty suit. London and the 757 Academy were the reason why the program had/have recruiting success in Tidewater/Peninsula. Hagans can go there and we don't miss a beat. Dex is a big loss, especially in the locker room and relationships among the players.

Agreed Mikey... This is a tough loss for us even though I am happy for Dex. There are so many things that Dex brings to UVA on and off the field. We are really going to have trouble in the DMV now and I am not sure how we can get any traction there without all the hard work Dex put in. Plus he will be recruiting against us which won't help. If we lose Brown as well, we lose another recruiting footprint in Georgia. These moves certainly don't bode well for next year, as we will have turned over nearly the entire staff outside of Wachenheim and West (if he is still here) in two years. Ugh.
