Message: [QUOTE="06029, post: 4047182, member: 1548"] It’s going to be a long 3 months until the next coach is named. Find a guy that has at least 5 of these on their resume: under 45 HC experience at D3or lower NFL coaching experience. Coordinator with a top 5 FBS program. Reputation as a successful and relentless recruiter Has a plan for who will be his key coordinators Can recruit a staff just as passionate about recruiting as he is The job of head coach at UConn is going To be a huge rebuild. That means recruiting needs to become exponentially better almost immediately. That takes money to lure great coaches and recruiters. Edsall was #79 in compensation for FBS schools. Everyone acts like he was cheap money. Does UConn have the money to pay a head coach 3 times as much and still leave a big enough pool to pay coordinators and other coaches? There is no magical, endless pile of money in Storrs. There will be a line of has been coaches interested in the paycheck. There will also be a bunch of younger lower level coaches D 2 and 3) and coordinators interested. You want the next Luke Frickel. You want the next Matt Campbell. You want the next Chadwell. They all had 5 of the qualities above when hired. You want the next one, because ones like them right now are not going to be lining up for this job. [/QUOTE]
