@ Desmond Conner[/B] just confirmed a guy above on twitter and just added this:

" Mike Cummings, I'm hearing is set to become next offensive coordinator at Uconn"

Mike Cummings- OC Central Michigan

Also have to wonder about this report from a few weeks ago and if he will be part of the staff, it looks like Shay also
coached under Ernest T. Jones when he was a HC at Alcorn St. as well as the Diaco/Patterson connections:
UNC defensive coordinator resigns
"Zach Shay has applied for a coaching position at the University of Connecticut, which announced on

Thursday that Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco will become the Huskies' next headfootball coach.Diaco and Shay played together at the University of Iowa and coached together at Western Illinois University.
( and W. Michigan)"


Shay came to UNC with Collins from Alcorn State University, where he was the defensive coordinator for two seasons
after serving as the special teams coordinator, recruiting coordinator and linebackers coach.Zach Shay - Northern Colorado
