List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches

• Featured list candidates/List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches/archive1

Nominator(s): –Grondemar 01:14, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adding one more nomination to the growing collection of UConn featured lists,

• Could use a lead image to pique interest, you could easily add File:Maryland Football Coach Randy Edsall.jpg with a caption relating to him being the "as of 2017..." head coach.
  • Done, although I really want to replace that image with him in a Connecticut uniform. This is like a list of Chelsea managers with a lead image of José Mourinho in Real Madrid or Manchester United colors. –Grondemar 14:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• "The current coach is" needs
  "as of"
  really.
  • Done. –Grondemar 14:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I know this follows the kind of standard for college football head coaches, but I recently took a look at List of Celtic F.C. managers and boy the difference in the lead and introductory sections is stark. Would you consider expanding this article in a similar fashion?
  • I'll look into it. I'll note I considered, but decided against, commenting at the Celtic managers FLC that the Managerial history paragraphs seemed to duplicate the two History of Celtic F.C. articles. I'm not sure how you write a managerial history that is significantly different from a team history. –Grondemar 14:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• The conference stats could use a four-col wide header above them saying "Conference", similarly a three-col wide one for "Postseason".
  • Done, take a look and let me know if this is what you expected. –Grondemar 05:24, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Some of those notes need a ref, especially like 15, which makes assertions about individuals being fired.
  • Added, along with links to the general references that verifies the conference / non-conference split along with the years in conferences / lack of conference championship games / no games being played during some years during the World Wars. –Grondemar 05:09, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not much, I know, but something to be going on with. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @The Rambling Man: Thanks for your review. I've addressed some of your comments above and will try to get to the others in the next day or two. –Grondemar 14:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FLC coordinators, please 'withdraw and archive this request for now. I have realized that I will need to hunt down quite a few new sources to add the history expansion requested by TRM. Changes in real-life workload will make it difficult to complete this in a timely fashion. I will re-nominate when I have the time and have fully addressed the comments above. –Grondemar 15:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
