Paul Pasqualoni has been fired as UConn's head coach, as first reported by Desmond Conner of the Hartford Courant.

Pasqualoni was let go on the heels of the Huskies' 41-12 upset loss at Buffalo on Saturday. The decision was finalized Monday morning, CBSSports.com's Jeremy Fowler reported.

Pasqualoni compiled a 10-18 record at UConn, including two 5-7 seasons. The Huskies are 0-4 in 2013 including a humilating 33-18 loss to Division I-AA Towson.

ESPN's Brett McMurphy reports that Pasqualoni will receive a $750,000 buyout, and that UConn also has fired associate head coach and offensive line head coach George DeLeone.
