Chris Beatty has landed on his feet after being fired at West Virginia.

Charles Huff has also been hired away from Hampton to be the new Offense QC Coach. Franklin has also offered the DC job to West Virginia DC Jeff Casteel.
The latest name being connected with the UConn job is former Tennessee HC Phil Fulmer. I a would not hold a ton of sway with that rumor, as it still remains more likely that the Huskies will end up with one of several current or former head coaches with New England FCS ties.

Edsell will retain current DC Don Brown and WR Coach Lee Hull.
