Just for a little off-season fun (Jesus, it's December 4 and we are already in the off-season), I thought it would be cool to see what our favorite all-time coaching staff at UConn would be that we could put together. This idea came to me from reading all of the "please give us Moorhead / Weist / Orlando as our head coach chatter", which I happen to agree with.

Only one rule: you can't use a former head coach to be the head coach. However, I suppose you could use a former head coach to be a position coach (i.e., Edsall at QBs or Pasqualoni at DL). Some may be "no-brainers" and some may bring up some interesting replacements. Here is my list:

Head Coach: T.J. Weist (any man willing to wear a t-shirt in December is a true leader)
OC: Joe Moorhead (I struggled here because he could be the coach, but I'd rather run his offense).
OL: Mike Foley
TE: Dave McMichael
RB: Terry Richardson
QB: Shane Day (I really wanted to go with Ambrose here, but Shane did it on an NFL level)
WR: Matt Cersosimo (could have gone with Weist here too as he would be better, but he's my coach now)
DC: Don Brown (solve your problems with aggression)
DL: Hank Hughes (I actually considered PP here, but I'm a Hughes fan and he's doing fine at Nebraska)
LB: Todd Orlando (could have gone with him at DC but Brown is hard to supplant)
DB: Scott Lakatos
ST: Lyndon Johnson (we used to return things)
Recruiting Coordinator: Rob Ambrose (I could have gone with Cersosimo who was the RC for 2 regimes here, but I wanted Ambrose on the staff)

You'll notice that I have many more RE guys than PP guys and NONE of BD guys. Well, that's how I feel about the staff right now. Sad times for me. Have fun with it and I'd love to see some substitutions to my list made from you all...

All time coaching staff? Nothing approaches the UConn staff of the mid-60s that included Rick Forzano, Sam Rutigliano, & some character named Lou Holtz.

You don't get off that easy, Coach. You have to put them in coaching positions and you can't use the head coach as your head coach... ;)

Pretty good starting point. But I would take out Lakatos as DB coach and put in Edsall at that spot.

I really don't understand some people.

Instead of bitching about my list, you can make one yourself. That's the point of the thread! Good God...
