Golden as UConn's HC...maybe

Ehhhh maybe. I think Richt was closer to getting us to where we needed to be (consistent 10 win seasons + Coastal champions) had he just hired an OC.

It wouldn't have been perfect but Richt with Manny and Lashlee would have brought some decent success. Nothing championship caliber but definitely consistency IMO.

Richt with ARANDA and Lashlee woukd have been good.
Unfortunately lsu came in and messed up the Aranda deal and obviously Ritch didn't hire an OC.
 
Probably would be okay there with a decent DC. No pressure, high integrity sort of program.

Wasn't a big fan of Golden, but his PSU philosophy wasn't ever going to work down here.

It'll work up there in yankee country though.

If Golden tries to hire D'no as the DC, UConn should block the hire. He's not run a good defense anywhere he's been.

Golden is a decent Talent evaluator and developer, put a lot of quality players in the NFL while he was here.

Njoku
Phillip Dorssett
Artie Burns
Ereck Flowers
Feliciano
Duke Johnson
Denzel Perryman
Brandon Linder
Lamar Miller
Oliver Vernon
Travis Benjamin

We really haven't been putting a lot of NFL impact players since he left that aren't transfers, GR15 is pretty much it and did we really develop him? He played one season

GTFOH... All those players were coming here regardless. Matter of fact he ran off players like Bridgewater and Amari Cooper.
 
If he brings no D with him that **** is not working anywhere. His teams also quit on him often. Too lazy to talk about all the reasons he was a horrible coach again

For UCONN, Al Golden might not be bad. If he can get them to 8 wins like he did at Temple, that's a good year for them. They've never even finished a season ranked.

He’s good at evaluating talent and finding hidden gems and underrated low 3 stars

Bridgewater and Cook, my how different things would’ve turned out if he landed those two. Overall, however, for a guy who didn’t cheat and dealt with the Shapiro nonsense, his recruiting wasn’t terrible. He had some serious talent on a couple of those teams.

They got stomped by holy cross. Join the league James Madison is leaving, offers scholarships and UConn is too good a b-ball school to go into patriot and not a academic fit . I bet they get a conference USA or sun belt offer with the big 12 expansion

Dorsett was Shannon
Duke was Shannon
Feliciano was Shannon
Benjamin was Shannon
Lamar was Shannon
Olivier was Shannon
Linder was Shannon

We’re Miami. We’re going to get NFL talent but AG missed a lot more than he hit. He wasn’t that good of an evaluator
