What former UConn players or coaches would you like to see on RE v2.0's staff?

This is different from other threads as it is specific to players or coaches who previously played at or coached at UConn!

Mike Foley. Build the foundation on the OL

Foley & Breiner. I love what Fordham does on offense. The only thing I'd like to know is if Breiner actually called plays. He was OC under Moorehead - don't know who called plays there. And then he was HC so I'm not sure if he was calling plays then either.

Foley, wholley, no players I can think of are in coaching

Scott Lutrus

If BS stays - Matt Bonislawski - just started coaching in Tampa Area - could really help BS in Randy's system.

According to this article Breiner did call plays under Moorehead, and still does as a HC. Interesting article about Breiner and Moorehead. Worth a read.

Not sure he'll come here as an OC, but it would be nice for Edsall to hire him as the Assistant head coach/ Offensive Coordinator. That would be a big move.

Terry Richardson.

Terry Richardson.

Has Richardson been out of work since leaving Maryland? I've been unable to find anything.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I'm not sure what he was doing this past year.

Maybe Kasif or Marcus for WR coach? if available. No coaching experience but NFL player experience. Bring UConn culture and attractive to recruits.

 

[Skiblets]

Dre

 

[SubbaBub]

Don't care. Just want to win games.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Dorsey & Hargreaves

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I believe it is very possible that one or two kids who played for RE here but never coached could come in as graduate assistants. I believe they would need at least a year of that under their belts before becoming a position coach.

Dan O....May be time to come home as a QB coach....

 

[Woof 101]

Hard to find man...Hopefully he is presently working on finding a nest close to Storrs CT...

Fincher or Lansanah as LB coach.

 

[Dooley]

Wholley and Foley are on my list too. As for former players I mentioned DJ Hernandez in another thread but was told he is difficult to work with. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not, but the man bled Husky blue and was the ultimate team-player. I'm not sure if he's still interested in coaching after his stint at Iowa, but if he is, I think Randy should gauge interest.

I never thought about it but when I saw someone mention Andre Dixon, I smiled. Guy always comes to spring games and I've seen him during games too. Came up for the Edsall presser as well. To say he bleeds Husky blue is an understatement. Always played with heart and handled split carries throughout his career pretty well (i.e. team player). Could certainly bring some enthusiasm and energy to the sidelines.

I hope Newsome and Ron Jon get one year of the way things used to be for RB's around here. Anyone remember the screen passes to Dre? Then the power game his last year teamed with Jordan?

Funny that you mention screen passes. Watching some of the old highlight vids posted over the last couple of days, we had an awesome screen game. Amazes me how far we have fallen.

Amazes me how far we have fallen, and excites me on the opportunities that are coming back.

Oh yeah, it'd be fun to have a Coach Dred roaming the sidelines.

Lol. Too late for Arkeel to grow them. Will need extensions.

For those who haven't read this, it may shed some light on what "Jonathon" Hernandez may be thinking as far as to timing and coming back to CT. Aaron Hernandez’s brother retraces NFL star's path to murder.

The ones that can recruit P-5 caliber athletes. Not the ones busy flipping FCS caliber athletes.
