I am so excited for Coach P. He is an excellent coach and can coach at any level but I think he is a perfect fit as a head coach at the college level. Coach P. knows how to teach, he knows how to recruit, he knows how to run a college program. I always refer fondly to my days at Syracuse and one of the main reasons is that I loved playing football for Coach P. I grew in many ways while at college - as a person, as a student and as an athlete - and I owe a lot of that to Coach P..sd
Before taking the Connecticut position, Pasqualoni had been coaching in the National Football League as he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys staff (2005-07 and 2010) and the Miami Dolphins (2008-09). Pasqualoni worked with the tight ends (2005) and linebackers (2006-07) in Dallas. The Cowboys won the NFC East in 2007 and were a Wild Card playoff team in 2006. In 2007, the Cowboys’ defense limited opponents to 4.9 yards per play and were third in sacks. He rejoined the Cowboys staff in 2010 and became the defensive coordinator.
