Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4049509, member: 2500"] Summary of their thoughts (not mine): [LIST] [*]UConn should probably stay FBS but look for a G5 home for football. Indy w/o a bowl tie-in is an issue. [*]Need an energetic program builder [*]Previous HC experience [*]Ideally from MAC or CAA, good candidates also in FCS. Get someone familiar with the area (Northeast in general) [*]Can work the xfer portal for short term fixes [/LIST] Candidates specifically mentioned: [LIST] [*]Larry Porter (!). One of the hosts said he'd received input from other coaches that Porter would have an easy time getting decent coordinators as he has a good rep within the game, despite a crap 3-21 record as HC (Memphis). [*]Harasmyiak [*]Cignetti [*]Danny Rocco (who's 61) [*]Kevin Kelley [*]Derek Dooley, whom the hosts say wants to get back into college [/LIST] I agree that the podcast was relatively weak regarding background, and made some sweeping generalizations about the program (it's only their third podcast), but they got enough right and offered some names we haven't really discussed here, and at least a little bit of insight on why they should be considered. Which is better than most of the local reporting I've read that's been posted here. [/QUOTE]
