UVA isn’t opening up, Elliott bought himself a few more years

I said earlier that if Elliott has a couple more 8 to 10 win seasons, he could be on the list to replace Dabo when he decides to leave.

Jason Candle (Toledo) to UConn. SU was really high on him.

Jason Candle (Toledo) to UConn. SU was really high on him.

From the Hartford Courant:

UConn has named Toledo’s Jason Candle its new football coach, replacing Jim Mora.

Candle, 46, and UConn agreed to a six-year contract late Friday, and informed his Toledo players he was leaving in a team meeting Saturday morning. The winningest coach in Toledo program history, Candle will get a six-year contract at UConn.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jason Candle as the next head coach of UConn football,” UConn AD David Benedict said, in a statement released by the university. “Jason’s track record speaks for itself; he is the winningest coach in Toledo history with 81 victories, two MAC Championships, and a program that has consistently competed at the highest level. He has built a culture of excellence both on and off the field, developing young men who succeed at the next level.”

Candle, a native of Salem, Ohio, has spent his entire coaching career in his home state, at Mount Union and, since 2009, at Toledo. He took over for Matt Campbell in December 2015, winning a bowl game as interim coach, and compiled an 81-44 record, without ever finishing below .500 in a season. Toledo is bowl eligible for the eighth time under Candle, who has drawn several highly-rated recruiting classes in a row, the highest rated in MAC history in 2024.

UConn anticipating that if next year is bad for Syracuse, Fran would get fired and Cuse would target Candle?

Never trust a white Husky. It aint natural.

Brennan Marion left Sacramento State to take the OC job for Prime in Colorado ... interesting since he was HC for only a season at Sac State. Taking his GoGo offense to Boulder.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Heard he was their first choice
