"Edsall left the cupboard bare"

To all you clowns out there, stop. Pat Forde was right

 

[UC990411]

So was Burton

No need for this today.

he didn't leave the cupboard bare, he was just too vanilla, and coach p seems equally vanilla, very boring.

 

[formerlurker]

So was Orwell.

When's the right time, tomorrow? If so wait 20 minutes and we can discuss

Edsall was vanilla.

Coach P is diet sugar-free vanilla.

If anything the offense P and GDL ran last year was too complex for the players too figure out (or should I say for GDL to teach properly) and Edsall's defense was much more vanilla than P's defense which is anything but vanilla.

Edsall is a jerk, good riddance to him, and P needs step up his game in 2013 or step off.

7 players from this team are on NFL teams today. 3 on offense, 4 on D

5-7

Your last sentence says it all.

Edsall's vanilla had that extra kick though of bowl eligibility most of his years here.

This is UConn football, beggars can't be choosers. I'll take a jerk of a coach vs a nice guy all day if he wins football games

We just don't have the talent to compete with Rutgers or Syracuse.

 

[MattMang23]

What's good?

 

[mcs333]

At the skill offensive positions it was bare. P best QB was a walk on, his best running back was a true freshmen. There was talent on D but very little on O. The D has been good the last two years but the O very poor. The O talent level was not very good when P came in. I can't see how anyone can argue that point.

 

[ruskin]

The funny thing will be when one of this coming season's offensive line gets drafted. Same guys who were Charles Barkley turrible in 2012.

 

[Palatine]

At the still offensive positions it was bare. P best QB was a walk on, his best running back was a true freshmen. There was talent on D but very little on O. The D has been good the last two years but the O very poor. The O talent level was not very good when P came in. I can't see how anyone can argue that point.

Three offensive players will be in NFL camps.

And if he had stayed healthy Masters would have been invited to a camp as well.

I think the analysts are painting the picture with too broad of a stroke. It is true that UConn produces some excellent talent. But like some of the previous posters suggested, the talent was unevenly divided. I think the offensive line talent wasn't as good as usual, and that will kill a team. Remember, Kurazea leaving, Bennett injuries, and the Greg McKee situation decimated our line. Our most highly touted lineman recruits just didn't fully pan out. However, Bennett still has a chance to leave something of a mark.

Past it's expiration date.

To the current apologists, yes, we were far from being loaded in terms of talent at offensive skill positions and our offensive line production fell off greatly from prior seasons (although I personally believe that this was solely due to change in philosophy, not dropoff in talent).

That said, those who believes that we did not have sufficient overall talent to win at least eight (pre bowl) games against the competition that we faced each of the past two seasons are kidding themselves. Anyone willing to state that Pasqualoni "inherited a trainwreck" is kidding himself.

Yes and which D1 QB was left when Edsall left?? I'll admit that we should of won more games, but we were never going very far with what we had at QB. And the OL had no Donal Thomas's or Beattys or Hurds - we were starting fresh.

Every kid, especially Sio, attributed their progress and ability to get to the next level to PP. The guy can coach.

The guy went out and made a good hire, got Weist, and now we have a QB with a year under his belt and the first year of what was admittedly a better recruiting class than we have had. I am happier with Hughes as well.

Having said that no excuses this year. We have to play to our potential or he will be gone.

 

[ruskin]

Hold on. If you think PP "went out and made a good hire" totally on his own you are deluding yourself. Warde wouldn't/couldn't can PP so he did the next best thing. And it's still a big question mark if PP/GDL are going to go along. Based on the spring game, which "admittedly" is not a fair to judge how many changes there really will be, it's an "incomplete", And no one knows yet if his recruiting classes "are admittedly better". The guys who got drafted averaged about 2.5 stars, for what that discredited system's worth.
