What no love for Bob Quinn? Nobody know him?

Quinn, native of Norwood, Mass., earned his master's degree in sports management from UConn in 2000 and completed his undergraduate studies at UConn in 1998. He and his wife, Julie (a Storrs native), have a son, Kyle, and a daughter, Grace. Before his 16-year tenure started with the Patriots, Quinn spent time as a graduate assistant in the athletics department at UConn.

Looks like Quinn is taking care of his former boss at UConn:
