Who's your list for next HC?

Harasymiak HC with Mazzone at OC and Marinelli at QBs?

I like it. One of Edsall’s big failings at UConn over the years was his inability to recruit in the FCIAC and Prep. He has had a few over the years (Mitchell, Sean Mulcahy, Trevardo Williams), but for an in state flagship university he should had a pipeline. So many others that should have given UConn a look but never did. Marinelli can change that.
 
There are probably 50-100 names mentioned so far. My guess, it’s not one of those that is actually hired.

not saying these are good or bad, just seems like the hire is never ‘obvious’

After spending some time researching realistic options - I am all in on Sean Lewis. Checks off all the boxes for me.

Other than the fact he's very young, up and coming, probably affordable (making $440k now) , what else does he offer?

Hmmm……Tom Brady? I think he knows the northeast.

I could see Morehead coming here just to spite Edsall. If the BOT and Benedict offer him $4m a year over 5 years, I think he takes it. The hard part is the assistant pool.

Spite or no spite, $20M will get Moorehead's interest.

Penn State assistant coach named as potential candidate for UConn job opening

This would be a huge loss for Penn State.

JaJuan Seider is a nationally elite recruiter. Not sure about his coaching chops or what type of staff he could assemble.

He should be high on our list.... Only potential problem is, if he has a ton of success, he won't stick around... but, then again, with that success, our Admin dept would come around and work to keep him around.... along with what he needs staff wise....

Let’s see success first and then worry about the problems it brings.
we’ve seen ineptitude for almost a decade. Success has to be better
 
Whatever we do, I hope we use RPO a lot more in our offense... Tyler P has some ability... From what I see, our coaching needs to improve... In that I mean, more of the players should be expected in practice prior to games... Seems we let too many things go in practice.. More needs to be expected in practice... We look ill prepared... Talent we have but preparation (acceptable stuff) just isn't there.. Everybody should be screaming on the sidelines right now (like Brian Keating, who is out of the game with a wrist injury against Army)... No time for being a pretty boy in a uniform.... pull out the lunchpales and work....

Tyler P has talent. In a perfect world we would be grooming him now to start his redshirt sophomore year. Unfortunately at the moment we are a few hundred thousand miles from a perfect world.

Normally I'd be against what we're doing with Tyler. But if you can get some experience make good decisions and learn how to slide when necessary we have absolutely nothing to lose and he has everything to gain.
 
Does Miami getting blown out by Mich State help us with Lashlee?

what about Mazzone??
Expand ...

Wait. What? Bringing on the next OC or HC as a consultant to give him an early start on next season? I can't believe UConn is clever enough to do what 1129 other FBS schools would do.
 
I've got it, really though... Charles Huff... HC at Marshall making 755k. First season, yes. But of f to a solid start. Was Saquon Barkley's RB coach at Penn St with Moorhead. Went to Miss St with him where he was Associate Head Coach/ RB coach and run game coordinator. Then on to Alabama as Associate Head Coach/RB.

38 years young. Exciting coach with winning experience at top programs. From Maryland.

Our current interim should be in the picture…no? He isn’t the most exciting guy, but hey, give him a chance.

Yes he is in the picture. Currently a longshot, but he has 8 more games to make his case, if he gets at least three wins and the players want him back he will be in the running. It is quite obvious he is doing everything possible to win the job and you have to respect that.

Only way I see it is if AD David Benedict really likes him and hires a staff of great assistants and recruiters

Certainly, and those rules should apply to any coach who is hired.

Ignoring Moorhead when he was here was a titanic mistake that we have hopefully learned from. If there is a qualified candidate in house you give him serious consideration.

Best thing Spanos has done to show he is worthy of being an HC (Not even necessarily at UConn) is bring in Mazzone. An HC can only do so much to improve the program. Surrounding himself with great assistants show an HC knows how to build a program.

Now he needs to find a $2500/week defensive analyst.

My God, this is how far we have fallen. This is the mentality of a team of losers.

You are a bit of a jerk….guy has two Super Bowl rings and has been successful elsewhere…but hey…you know better. All I said is he should be considered, based on the rest of the season…who else you got?
