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

Adding one more nomination to the growing collection of UConn featured lists, List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches covers the 30 head coaches in the history of the UConn football program. It is largely in the format of the other college football head coach featured list with a few tweaks adapted from the other UConn featured lists. I believe the list fully meets the featured list criteria; please review and concur if appropriate. Thanks! –Grondemar 01:14, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Comments sorry you've had to wait nearly three weeks for any comments, here are mine:

• 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)
• "The current coach is" needs "as of" really.
  • Done. –Grondemar 14:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
• 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)
• 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)
• 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)

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

• @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)

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)
