Courant- OL Coach Foley Out At UConn; Diaco Wants Aggressive Running Game

"Offensive changes are coming to UConn football. Longtime assistant and offensive line coach Mike Foley apparently

will not be retained after nine seasons in Storrs. Foley was in charge when the line was opening holes for the likes of
Donald Brown, Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman - when the Huskies were strong up front and tore it up on the ground."

Regarding the undermanned Uconn roster-

Huskies ended last season with 65 players, 60 eligible to play, far below the 85 allowed.
"As of right now, we hope that everyone that has remaining eligibility at UConn get their paper, that awesome degree. ...
One of the big issues is just sheer manpower, 65 scholarships players, it's like you've sanctioned yourself, operating
at less than I-AA [FCS] level. That's just a fact. It's nothing we did. I didn't run people off," Diaco said.NHR - Offensive staff changes coming at UConn
Um...Ok Bob...how about less talk....less blame and show me !!!
