Problem with Al is that the defense that he ran was his defense. He is an old Al Groh defensive disciple. D'Onofrio was just doing what Al wanted. Know for a fact that he was a real prick inside the Hecht .. both he and D'Onofrio wouldn't interact with the staff .. didn't want ideas or recommendations from anyone. Were arrogant and ignorant. Hope he has grown up and developed a better management style. Had a friend who worked on the staff with Butch, Coker, Randy and then Golden. Left in his second year with Golden due to the toxic environment .. and took a job with the NFL.

Tanned, rested, and ready.
 
I think he’d be fine there. UConn ever since Jordan Todman and Donald brown and them boys left went in a down a hole quick. They don’t even recruit kids from Connecticut which I think is weird since the prep schools are making their job easy and recruiting throughout the east coast for kids.

In a six degrees of separation digression, it doesn't look like Robert Burns is doing much football wise up there.

Great great young person regardless; had all the tools but looks like the injuries did him in.

He's a good kid I liked Burns. This is why HS tape no matter wherever u play sfla or west or east means nothing.....he had so much burst hitting the hole in HS but that didn't translate to D1. Although injuries do factor in, ballers just ball. Wish him nothing but success in life.

Can confirm. None of the players trusted him. Had a degree in psychology so he thought he was smarter than everyone and was always playing mind games. Super toxic.
