It's a good day for UConn athletics. Accountability has been restored to the football program. These are all positives.

Not a time be petty.

Petty? You of all people are advising others not to be petty? Did that just happen? Is this real life?
 
PP was fired because of his job performance. It happens.

It has nothing to do with him being a nice guy.

You know what you should be worried about, Pal? Absent a clause to the contrary, "Coach" Pasqualoni and Deleone will be able to collect unemployment at the maximum amount. Although he should be released for cause, I question whether the pick slip reads like that. More needless milking of the system.:rolleyes:

LOL!!
 
I don't know anything about GDL. But I have met P a couple of times, and we visited the complex with Sio soon after P was hired. It was very early on a Saturday morning and P spent a few minutes chatting with my son. He was a classy guy. I wish it would have worked out. It didn't. I'm happy that it is over, and P is a big boy with a big boy contract, so I don't feel bad for him. But there is no reason to deride him. He is no longer my concern.

At the end of the day, the individuals in question are no longer associated with the football team of my alma mater, which I support and love. Going forward beyond this post, I will pay "Coach" Pasqualoni no further mind one way or the other.

Coach P is truly one of the nicest coaches that I've ever met! Wish him well & hope he can just sit back & chill for a little bit.

He got fired because of his reluctance to cut the cord with his Goomba buddy.

Shutup, he set you guys back years. You should be celebrating. You guys were painful to watch with him at the helm.

We were painful to watch with him at the helm, yes. SUNJ remains painful to watch in perpetuity.

The only thing you, and we all, really need to know about Deleone, is that he's gone. He's not a likable person, and I don't think he cares one bit. Pasqualoni, is a well respected football coach in the NFL, and in college levels all over the country, and specificaly in our recruiting areas locally and in TExas and FLorida. It will be good for UCONN, if he maintains his residence in CT, adn has a continuing amicable relationship with the program, the guy has 40 years worth of football connections all over the country banked, and 40 years of coaching experience that extends into our recruiting territories banked.

Manuel, if he's a good manager of people, has found a way to relieve him of his coaching job, and not alienate him at the same time. They both know the job wasn't getting done.

As for George Deleone, he should be kept in a film room at all times IMNSHO, and only spoken to, when you have a question about nothing else than abstract x's and o's. It's got to be some kind of italian thing, the loyalty between those two. Pasqualoni I believe was given a decent paying job by Deleone a long, long time ago at SCSU. It could be as simple as that basic irrational loyalty because of that, or maybe Deleone has nudie pics of Pasqualoni. Who knows. But Pasqualoni's loyalty to Deleone, has tarnished his career, and is without a doubt a primary factor in the reason why P was fired from not one, but two division 1A collegiate head coaching jobs in the past 9 years.

Pasqualoni is making more $ with his severance check, than people making $35k a year can earn in 20 years and he's 64 years old. There is no reason to feel bad for this guy for not having work.

please, he stole a few million dollars from us and is still getting a nice buy-out while absolutely thrashing our program

I have no sympathy, in his chosen profession results matter

I do wish him well, I'm just ecstatic he was fired and there's no shame in that

He didn't steal anything. He failed at his job. It happens. In coaching it happens constantly.

The entire episode is a sad one for UConn. But schadenfruede is very unflattering to those who engage in it.

The king is dead, long live the king. Eyes forward. Let's go Huskies. Good luck coach Weist

Someday I'll have to sit down with some of the SCSU old-timers and get their take on these guys. I'm amazed at how many coaches have ties to SCSU given its relative stature in the football universe. I think Lou Holtz was turned down by SCSU at some point (he mentioned it in an interview a while back)...
 
I'm right with Palatine on the issue of Coach P. He's gone, and we're glad he's gone, but I'm not gloating. He's a decent and caring guy. As for GDL, that's another matter. I'll never forget being in Missoula MT on business and getting a call from one player's mother who needed to vent about how GDL was ruining her kid, both athletically and more importantly, his psyche. She was using me as a sounding board because she wanted to "pursue the pr*ck". She wasn't the only one either. He was, in my opinion, a petty, destructive guy who (emboldened by his closeness to P) thought he could get away with it. And for the most part he did. Until Monday. Dance away.

P and GDL are a matched set. It's not right to say GDL was a pr*ck but P was a good guy. Whatever GDL did is on P just as much, even more IMO. P was the boss, all this was on his watch. He put loyalty to his bud above loyalty to the team.
 
PP & GDL Hit The Road Jack....

I don't disagree with you on the loyalty rap against P. I simply mean that as human beings, they are much farther apart.
