EKU tried to ruin him as well.

Diaco was the one who just didn’t want to play. PP never coached a single snap with Boyle at QB.

So the Dolphins cut him on Friday, re-signed him to the practice squad yesterday, and he’s taking game snaps on Sunday. Sounds about right.

Boyle got thrown into the fire as a true freshman after PP was fired and Weist became the interim head coach. Cochran replaced him and lead UConn to 3 wins at the end of the season. Boyle got beat out by Cochran and Whitmer in 2014 and by Shirreffs in 2015.

Shows the collective coaching genius when it comes to QB's. Kid had a rocket arm (still does). Might have had some success if he could have throttle down his fastball and brought the ball down on his throws. Hmmm sounds like somebody more recent.

Boyle played 3.5 quarters when we upset a ranked Houston team at home to get us bowl eligible in ‘15. We won despite his play. He was God awful and proved he deserved his spot on the bench.
Good for him for sticking with it and making a pro career for himself. I mean that sincerely. But can we quit blaming college coaches for his failure to be a good college QB? He played for 4 of them and couldn’t convince any of them that he was ready to make a team better. Maybe it wasn’t all 4 of them.

Ya know what science sez about age related memory loss
-> Depth chart change - Interim coach T.J. Weist, who was promoted from offensive coordinator last week following the firing of Paul Pasqualoni, made the switch to Boyle from junior Chandler Whitmer shortly after getting the job.
Boyle becomes the first true freshman to start a game for UConn since Dan Orlovsky, now a backup with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, did it in 2001. Orlovsky went on to lose 12 of his first 15 starts. But the team went 9-3 and 8-4 in his last two years, winning its first bowl along the way. <-
