Word is Les Miles

[JSM1970]

I'm guessing we'll hear Schiano or Orlando tomm

If a known quantity like Miles would come to Storrs you grab the guy immediately. If this is viewed as a gateway gig you get the most proven guy because it brings instant credibility and recognition to the table and by definition the gateway gig coach is going to leave for a better situation likely sooner rather than later if he has on-field success. So hiring a guy that has had success in the most competitive league in the land is a no-brainer.

If one of the reasons Diaco got canned was his inability to welcome Kill aboard in an OC capacity imagine what DB would say to the fans if he could that would criticize a Les Miles hire.

Questioning the potential of hiring Les Miles is akin to Fairfield fans complaining that Jim Calhoun was going to be their next hoop coach.

Same for Mark Helfrich.

Let's just wait for the 49ers to fire Chip Kelly. He'll want to go back to college and UConn is the clear choice. Instant offense.

or not.

I think we're all missing the forest for the trees here. We should hire the Wake Forest guy from the car wash, if he actually exists. Nobody knows more about CFB than him, and I'll bet we can get him very cheaply.

Same for Mark Helfrich.

I'm honestly a bit surprised I haven't even heard his name once since BD got canned.

He can't wait that long for an opening....he isn't getting younger.

He's not getting younger, but they're basically backing up a dump truck full of cash into his mansion. Which means... he's not coming here or probably even most P5 jobs.
