Who is Randy's coaching staff? Jan 12 is coming fast

[Bonehead]

Don't we have someone who can go sit outside the complex and report back who enters and who leaves....with a smile?

I mean come on.....someone anyone...??? I have to work today and tomorrow otherwise, I would.

They use webex - no in person.

Just need to guess HCRE's credentials.

I think his p/w is Dr3@mJ0b!

 

[huskymedic]

In typical Randy fashion, quiet as a church mouse.

Amen bro.... It sux that we get dribbles with Edsall... when so much stuff's going on with other schools and being reported right now...

Edsall signed his offer letter on the 28th, officially assumed the job on Tuesday. Pretty sure everyone else filling initial new staff has had a little bit more lead time. Why would he leak info?

He wouldn't leak it but would make sure others don't have their agent blabbing it. Stuff like that.

May have something to do with the number of working days the job posting is open. May not have accounted for the holidays.

Or, the preferred candidate's paperwork didn't get in the right place on time.

Sounds purely administrative.

IMO , has more of an appearance of expanded candidate timing.
Of course, one would like to think that the individuals might have been pre-determined, but timing might also have to with recent events. such as
MINNESOTA . ...Claeyes abrupt termination ..
Only time will tell . ..but I like well thought out decisions. Silence is golden.

Gee not a good sign when they have to extend the deadlines. Did Edsall leave Maryland on good terms with any of his assistants? Who did he bring in there? He must have made a friend or two along the way willing to head a little farther up I-95. Is there any high school coach in the state of Connecticut capable of making the jump to college as a position coach? That might go a ways towards opening a few doors if there is one.

 

[Husky25]

As has been said, it's probably an administrative move to account for the observed New Year Holiday. A candidate may be selected at any time after the posting time frame requirement has been fulfilled. My guess is the OC position was re-posted because the minimum requirements changed slightly as we ll as the "Hiring Manager." The job descriptions for the new posts are so broad, they won't have to be re-posted once they "find" someone.

Nothing changed in the minimum or preferred requirements - only the closing date. It went from the 4th to the 6th. The DC posting went from the 4th, to the 6th and now the 5th. Both as of this morning.

 

[TRest]

I don't understand this. We know that the state notice period for filling the job hastn't expired yet? Why are you taking shots at the amount of time it's taking to get an announcement when you know there can't legally be an announcement? Why does that make you happy?

I see an opportunity to make a joke, I sometimes take it. Lighten up counselor.

The Hiring Manager changed.

 

[huskymedic]

The Hiring Manager changed.

How? This is a different posting than the Bob Diaco OC posting.

 

[Pudge]

Ante up

I see:
Jon Wholley, UConn Alum, former UConn Coach, DC at Fordham, LB/DB coach
Aaron Smith, UConn alum, UAlbany recruiting coordinator, WR Coach, Grad Asst under Edsall
Lyndon Johnson, UConn alum, longtime Edsall colleague, ST-OLB coach, Towson recruiting coordinator

Terry Richardson, former UConn coach, noted Florida connections, RB coach extraordinaire

DC & OC from past - pay them a bunch. I bet DC may be one of two youngish Defensive coaches at Lions.

OL is Foley or the last guy at Maryland Sturdiwa.

That leaves a few surprises. Same old Edsall.


weyou.

[Exit 4]

I want to see a posting for a Director of Football Speed and Agility.

As for Balis, well - I didn't see a stronger UConn team on the field the past three years. They did look taller - but that is because Diaco loves prototypes for body sizes.

 

[Stray_Dog]

Yup... I'm putting my $$$ on us looking at a few NFL guys to fill out our staff...Gotta put the glass half full hat on with this one... We've suffered enough

Woo-hoo Chip Kelly is coming here!

 

[Husky25]

How? This is a different posting than the Bob Diaco OC posting.

Yes. (The second sentence answers the first.)

Not sure if we're spinning in opposite directions. Two separate postings and time frames. The first OC posting when Diaco was Coach closed on the 26th. The new posting after Diaco got whacked and Edsall was named was posted on the 28th and initially closed @11:59 on the 4th but has been extended to the 6th. The Hiring Manager (Edsall) did not change in the second posting just the closing date.

Just timing... not a big deal.

 

[Husky25]

@huskymedic we're saying the same thing.

 

[huskymedic]

Hmmmm.... FWIW

Tweet deleted by FWG - he was happy about something involving a former UConn defensive coach who is at a certain school across the border to the southwest. No mention of title.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Wasn't adding Wholley something everyone saw as a foregone conclusion?

He was a favorite out of the gate by many (moi included) but ya never know until the announcement is made. Quality guy and a solid recruiter as well.

Is there any high school coach in the state of Connecticut capable of making the jump to college as a position coach?

Matt Rhule hired some prominent Texas HS coaches to his Baylor staff to help him get a lay of the land in Texas. Maybe Edsall will look to do something similar. Wouldn't be a bad idea to look at prominent HS coaches in NY, NJ, MA, VA, OH, PA, and CT. Two names that come to mind in CT (who could be available) are Sean Marinan and Jack Cochran. Both are tremendous coaches, with connections to many high school coaches in the northeast and we know Cochran can recruit. I know it's far fetched, now that he's traveling a greater path, but I would love to see Casey Cochran come back to work with the QBs. Casey has a very high football IQ and already has experience working with young QBs.

I wouldn't touch Jack with a 10ft pole.

He's not for everyone. I didn't care much for him before I got to know him a bit. He has his faults (who doesn't) for sure, but he's all-in for the kids he coaches. If you ask anyone that has ever played for him, they would all vouch for him. He hasn't always made the best decisions, but his heart is in the right place, he has a great eye for talent, he's a tremendous coach (he's developed more College/NFL players then any high school coach in the state) and motivator, and he can sell ice to an Eskimo.

Whether he was "cleared" or not, the guy committed recruiting violations in HS, I can only imagine what would happen if you gave him a salary and said go recruit lol
