From the way the Orange Bowl is going including the 93 yard touchdown pass they just gave up, DC Don Brown from Michigan might be available soon......

There is a better chance of Diaco being our DC in '17 than there is of Don Brown. If you remember, Don Brown left MD as soon as Edsall arrived, and Edsall told the media it was because Don Browns teenage daughter was pregnant.

What?!? Haha.... I'd only take Diaco back as DC if he was forced to wear a dunce cap at all times, stayed up in the booth only, and vowed never to 1. speak to the media again and 2. wear red pants. Other than that he'd prob make an OK DC.

Not for nothing, but Edsall has a whole pedigree of assistants that have gone on to bigger and better things then when they were at UConn, Orlando, Moorhead, Ambrose, just to name a few so as long as UConn is willing to pay what it takes - I'm sure he will bring in some competent people. He understands what needs to happen to get it done. If you recall one of his biggest frustrations before he left was getting the administration to pony up and pay his assistants enough to keep them around. I think we are past that now - but who knows.

BTW, DB pulled off some creative accounting to lessen the $5 million hit they were facing by waiting to Jan. 2nd and by getting Edsall at 1 million per year for the next 5. Diaco was owed 7.8 million the next 4 years minus the $4 million you have to pay Edsall that's an additional 2.8 million dollar savings, effectively making Diaco's $5 million dollar buyout only $600,000. Not a bad move, and he probably had to come up with that type of plan to get the higher ups to sign off on it. Overall a good job considering the position he was in.

this assumes Randy does not earn any of the incentives in his contract

Doesn't say he will be on the coaching staff. I saw and read the contract. I get it.
Expand ...
So it wouldn't surprise me if he ends on the staff though. It actually would make sense, no if he did, no?
 
Wonde what the Shermanator is doing? Definition of UConn tough, NFL experience. Coach running backs?

Not suggesting all coaching positions, but maybe mix some in. Accelerates the winning culture. These guys bring NFL experience. KFree and Ricky do not

We cannot fill an entire staff of former players, guys. It's the very thing everyone on the MBB board is complaining about

Exactly. Don't want a group that's too homogenous

I posted in another thread but I'd like to see him give a call to Rick Neuheisel the former Colorado and UCLA coach who was also an NFL OC. He was a QB and knows the pro style offense. He hasn't coached in 5 years and is currently a college analyst for CBS. He's 55 and maybe interested in coaching again. He was a dynamic offensive coach but really a West Coast guy so not sure he'd want to come East.
Expand ...
Don't know if it's possible but Neuheisel would be a good get in a couple of respects; well known enough that he'd probably help with recruiting playmakers.

If I was a betting man... I may bet the spare bedroom over the garage (but not the whole house) on it being Dave Wilczewski. Wilczewski served w/ Edsall as Recruiting Assistant @Uconn from 2008-2013 then went to Maryland (now Dir. of Football Recruiting Ops) and has an MBA.
Expand ...
Ha, pretty sure he and I lived on the same floor/dorm freshman year.

Really? I saw a reddit account with the same name and had no idea it was Aman. I wonder why they rebranded
Expand ...
He oversees The UConn Blog. Did they merge with TOS also?

The entire contract is floating around online, it notes that Edsall's son cannot hold a position where his father is his boss pursuant to University Rules. His position will be one where he reports to the athletic director. Dont know what that is, but he will not be on Dad's staff.
Expand ...
Yup but it clearly states he can get offered a job here... "...in the Division of Ahletics"
