UConn Football clearing the decks for next Coach?

Exit 4 said:
I wont go that far....thats way too far.

I do question his effort level and his football IQ. The execution task master failed virtually all of his own tasks. Was the head coach just not trying hard enough? Not disciplined with his studies & duties as HC? ;)

Maybe the media was too kind, maybe someone should have been asking him about his own execution during his 6-32 record.

He doesn’t know how to lead this generation of players. PP had similar issues. There are also some changes in the game Randy didn’t embrace. He certainly didn’t embrace the transfer portal, which was a mistake.

This is going to sound weird, but it’s too bad that Bob was such a whack job.

We had an ineffective coach. Then we sat out a season with that ineffective coach. Now we have guys are are at least trying. Meanwhile those guys need to attempt to recruit players. This doesn’t help, even if it is obvious. Spanos had to perform miracles to get the job. They now need to fill this job ASAP.

This would be an issue no matter what - you don’t think recruits know what happens when a coach is fired during season?

It will be up to next staff to attempt to keep current recruits. And I really hope they utilize the transfer portal/JUCO pipeline liberally.

It would be better to let them think there is a chance they will remain at UConn if they start to win games. This season is important.

I get your point, however, this is the correct move. The new head coach must have a clean slate to work with. No holdovers.

That's a very generous severance package. It sucks when anyone loses their job and I hope they all land somewhere quickly.

To me this sounds like they have their guy lined up and are in the process of getting him here and ready for next year.

Yes Diaco should be arriving around October 4th to begin making UConn fish cakes
 
I am hoping they did this in order to get a new coach in place ASAP. If the new coach wants to retain any of the current coaches, he can always interview each and make a decision from there.

Since we are still in the middle of the season, I have no idea what is the rule to hire someone that's currently employed by another school. I would imagine there are some anti-tampering rules in place to deal with these situations. Either way, we do need to name a new coach asap in order to save the current recruiting class. Otherwise, we gonna have to hit the portal hard as soon as the new coach arrives.

So, with the absurdity of CT's hiring policies, does UConn have to wait until the final whistle of this season before they start advertising the position for HC? Would seem advantageous to get the smoke and mirror charade done before end of season, so as soon as season ends, new coach can come in with a staff and start the recruiting process hard and heavy.

I have an honest question to you WestCoastHusky and anyone else: Even if the new coach is named soon and it saves the current recruiting class, shouldn't the new coach hit the transfer portal and the JUCO circuit hard? This is assuming admissions lowers the academic standards to allow this on some level. This team is short on talent. What degree is the talent deficit? I am not sure, but it's deficient all right.

I don’t know if that’s true, but I’d like to think it is.

Yeah, wonder how many knew these facts and just felt it wasn't news worthy?

First of all, if your on the staff what do you think the odds are you will be here next year? Only way there is a chance is if the team wins 4 -5 games by November. Even if that happened how many coaches would still be retained. I haven’t seen it but would assume they have an opportunity to apply for new staff. In today’s
world better to lay everything out in writing. The 6 month severance is a pretty good deal.
