Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMojo, post: 441729, member: 268"] yes - incredibly it is true - here's some excerpts from the Hartford Courant article discussing the meeting with the AD: [COLOR=#0000ff][URL='http://www.courant.com/topic/sports/college-sports/connecticut-huskies-ORSPT000004.topic'][COLOR=#0000ff]UConn[/COLOR][/URL] athletic director Warde Manuel confirmed Tuesday that football coach [URL='http://www.courant.com/topic/sports/football/paul-pasqualoni-PESPT000009523.topic'][COLOR=#0000ff]Paul Pasqualoni[/COLOR][/URL] will be back for a third season.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Manuel had a meeting Monday with Pasqualoni in which the two discussed the direction and future of the program. Manuel said he expects to see some adjustments next season, but would not discuss specifics of the meeting.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]"It was a very good meeting. … Paul knew my decision, so it wasn't designed as an evaluation or anything," Manuel said. "There weren't any ultimatums or anything like that. I don't manage by threatening."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Manuel confirmed that the two talked about the coaching staff. He said he did not tell Pasqualoni to make any changes.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]A source with knowledge of the meeting, however, said Manuel did suggest that someone other than offensive coordinator George DeLeone should call the plays next season.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]"I hear our fans and I understand their disappointment, but we're going to make the adjustments to have a better performance on the field than we had this year," Manuel said.[/COLOR] The thread discussing this on their board was pretty funny with some of the fans incredulous that he merely suggested Deleone be removed from play calling instead of demanding it. One even went back and found the Daily Orange article from 2004 discussing the meeting between Coach P and Crouthamel where the same thing was discussed. [/QUOTE]
