Makes sense. But he just brought over the running back coach and another coach. If Craig from LSU doesn't come aboard, he could still ask TJ. If not hopefully he will be a strong candidate for UCONN.
The more I read your post, Confident Carl, you make a strong point.
Does make sense as the positions get filled around the country.... will be surprised if he doesn't go to Oregon but....
Understand some on here who would think V2.0 will probably go with someone who he has worked with before but like a few on the BY, would be excited to see TJ as OC.
Edsel is fairly well connected and wouldn't be surprised if something isn't already planned with someone other than TJ...
But TJ:
1) Knows the teams in the AAC better than any available or most candidates having coached against the current AAC teams.
2) Exhibited ability to coach in adverse interim conditions after PP fired and seemingly worked well with administration & Coach Foley.
Can open the offense up and just Coached USF to a bowl win over South Carolina. (Hung 41 points on an SEC team... hmmmm)
3) Knows what UCONN and Connecticut are all about.
4) Believe lived here for a year (2014) after not getting the HC position
5) Does have strong pedigree with schools such as Alabama. Michigan, Cincy in his resume.
6) Harbaugh would never have had him at Michigan if he didn't bring value and experience, even if only for a year.
7)Still loved what he did in assisting and showcased Geremy Davis talents and coached us when Cochran set the
single game passing record (ONLY TO SEE FHCBD virtually sit Davis out (& then GD gets drafted by the Giants) repeatedly
8) Most importantly: family seemed to really like it here.
9) second most important: Doesn't NEED A WINTER JACKET so we might be able to pay him less >>>>
