Vandy has a good QB who was making plays. Besides, 30 points in college football isn’t that much anymore. Thirty points is a bad day for both teams in the B12.
Lashlee leaving because of his wife is like Don Brown leaving MD and RE because he wanted to be closer to home.
Again. I’ve said nowhere that Spanos should get the job. He is however, doing a great job making this team presentable. Anyone arguing to the contrary is an imbecile. The difference in performance is dramatic to say the least.
Lol. It seems everyone who can leaves Randy after the Fiesta Bowl. I think the Fiesta Bowl boosted Randy’s ego a bit too much.
No no I read here that he’s the 2nd coming of… joe Moorhead? Any time you can take a nice enough coach with a terrible defense and no wins you gotta take it I guess.
We’ll have to wait and see, no one knows what move he’ll make. At the end of the day we’re just stating our opinions. Moorhead who was once our OC and wanted this HCing job when Edsall first left is not unrealistic… Saban is an unrealistic option. Stop thinking so small of UConn.
Lol is that the same good Qb that put up a whopping 3 against an FCS team? Keep making excuses for allowing a crappy Vandy team to score 30. Just imagine if Fresno and Army didn’t take the foot off the gas this defense would be allowing 45+ pts a game lol. Crocker could probably do a better job than what Spanos is doing with the defense
It doesn’t have to be completely black and white. I agree that Vandy’s QB was not good at all but the defense has made noticeable progress from our first 2.5 games. Of course, that progress was from the worst imaginable performance to just being semi-competent but I look forward to seeing if we continue to progress through the season.
Chin, 3:04AM? Aren't you done with your service commitment?
He's in Europe right now, maybe at a hash bar.
Cincinnati has a significantly smaller athletic budget than UConn and will be paying Fickell double that 2.3 mil. If UConn wants to attract a legit FBS coach they need to spend the money. 2.3 gets you an decent FCS HC, but they can afford more. Easily if the BoT wasn't some greedy, hard headed bunch of rich guys that only want to make more money for themselves than actually help any aspect of the school. If they wanted to school to succeed TomKat wouldn't have been essentially forced out.
Only way I see Spanos keeping the job is if he wins the remaining games. I like spanos and love his fire, but if we can bring in a proven winner, no way we keep Spanos around.
Fickell's new contract pays him $3.4m annually. It also increased his salary pool for assistant coaches and support staff to $3.85 million (UConn is +/- $2m).
If this was a P5 team, Randy would not been hired a second time. With that, we would have a coach that would take us to major bowls...
I swear I read he was getting paid 4.3m
But that's a raise for a job well done. He was making $2.3M. Why can't we get the next Fickell for $2.3M?
Sometimes they end up being a Diaco.
