Got me... looks like a good grab.

Maryland football 'going to miss' Ryan Steinberg's work behind the scenes

>>Pete Volk, Testudo Times managing editor: Steinberg may be the second most-important recruiter on staff, behind Locksley. He runs the database and organizes much of it, and prospects often talk about their relationship with him (and speak very highly of it).<<

 

[huskyrob1]

I didn't say it was impossible, I said it was a long shot. Pitt and ND are both pursuing him hard and that's why he decommited from BC - not because Diaco got whacked. Most of the CT football kids follow each other from 7:7. All-Star teams, etc... it usually means very little other than face value.

Did he personally tell you he decommitted because Pitt and ND coaches changed his mind on BC, and not because of the coaching changes at UCONN?

Ha Sorry, figured you'd come in and provide expanding information anyways

Come on man. We all know the answer is "no" but that doesn't make it any less a reasonable statement with Pitt and ND in the mix. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised though.

Anybody that a big ten team is going to miss sounds like a solid hire.

Pittsburgh Sports Now: Notre Dame Coming After Pitt Target?

From an ND site:

>>There could be a late addition to Notre Dame’s 2017 offer list. Jason Pinnock, a two-star Boston College cornerback commit out of Windsor (Conn.) High has been having contact with new Notre Dame defensive coordinator Mike Elko, and the two have been discussing the possibility of an offer. Pinnock, who stands at six feet tall and weighs in at 180 pounds, said Elko told him he will have more information for him when Elko gets to South Bend on Jan. 6. Meanwhile, Pinnock waits, hoping an offer is on the way. “Getting that offer would be huge for me because it is a well-respected school overall,” Pinnock said. “With football and academics.” Landing the offer would be the first step in Pinnock ending up Irish. After that, an official visit would take place, most likely on Jan. 27-29.:

>>“What makes me interested in Notre Dame enough to visit is encouragement from coaches and friends from their personal experience,” Pinnock explained. “And my father went to school at Indiana and said he really loved Notre Dame while he was being recruited.”“What sticks out about Notre Dame is their tradition of winning, the history, and academics,” Pinnock added. “Can't really get that experience at many universities.”<<

He decommitted from BC 5 days later. Like I said... not impossible he ends up @ UConn - just a long shot.

Yeah, I hear ya. I'd just suggest to his dad, that being able to attend all his sons home games and some away games, and have his son play along side kids he played with and against in high school, and play for a coach who gets the most out of his players and is known for sending quite a few 2 star recruits to the NFL, is tempting. I wish I had a dollar for every kid who signed with ND as a freshman and then signed with somebody else a year or two later.

Revised tonight:

Minimum Qualifications
Master's degree; five years of experience (within the past seven years) at a FBS level academic institution as a full-time strength coach for the football program or at the NFL; strength coach certified (SCCC) through the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) or a strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS): and demonstrated knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations.
Preferred Qualifications
8 years of strength and conditioning coaching experience at the FBS or NFL level.
Appointment Terms
This is an 11-month position subject to annual renewal. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

My guess is he has someone in mind that is coaching in the NFL right now for the strength and conditioning position

Yup - I'm totally guessing his first choice (bio below) received a counter offer and decided to stay where he was...

<xxxxxx is a registered strength and conditioning coach (RSCC) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association; a strength and conditioning coach certified (SCCC) through the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association; he is certified as a Level 1 coach by the United States Weightlifting Association; and is also certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).<

This was the Initial Minimum/Preferred Qualifications UConn posted before the revision: "Master’s degree; five years of experience (within the past seven years) at a FBS level academic institution as the head strength coach for the football program; a registered strength and conditioning coach (RSCC) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and a strength coach certified (SCCC) through the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA); and demonstrated knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations." Preferred Qualifications:Ten years of strength and conditioning coaching experience at the FBS level; six years’ experience as the head football strength and conditioning coach at the FBS level; and certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).

Drew Wilson would have been a nice get

Especially DBs. Edsalls track record turning under-recruited DBs into NFL players is impressive.

Especially considering how bad they were in 2015. Their team had a massive turnaround.

Thanks Jostar
Terry Richardson ??.... wow-I missed that in all the diatribe. RB coach here for 11 years producing Todman, Dixon, Brown. From Fort Lauderdale. Left after 2010.
Time with the Jaguars.....

Definitely wouldn't mind Lyndon Johnson on specials.

Yes! Terry Richardson is back baby!

 

[MattMang23]

Except Richardson, who had been a popular guess on this board to be joining the staff anyway, we have heard each of those names confirmed already since at least last night. I'm still waiting for the "Whoa! Didn't see that coming" moment.

Also worked with Maurice Jones-Drew (Jags), Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson (U Miami). I'm super stoked about coach Terry! He was also a nominee for the Broyle award in 2010.
