University of Connecticut fired coach Paul Pasqualoni as part of a staff shakeup, the school announced Monday.
The Huskies are off to a 0-4 start and are 10-18 under Pasqualoni since 2011.
Pasqualoni will receive a $750,000 buyout.
Associate head coach and offensive line coach George DeLeone was also let go.
“I am making this change in our football coaching staff now as we approach the conference season to see an improved performance from our football program,” athletics director Warde Manuel said in a statement. “I am disappointed in the record of our team thus far, but I am confident that our coaching staff and student-athletes will continue to work hard to improve and that will be reflected on the field of play as we start our American Athletic Conference season.”
The school will name an interim coach at a press conference scheduled for 4 p.m. ET on Monday.
