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...
