McMurphy - Edsall "very strong candidate" to return

[Checkmate]

Why did Randy suck so bad at Maryland?

He is a phony, self-serving, jerk. Everyone at Maryland hated him. I would not wish him on my worst enemy .

Donors should let the AD know your money is not coming if he is hired. Maryland spent $$$$$ to get rid of him.

As someone who thought Edsall did an outstanding job here, that is something that I don't have a handle on, and would want to before considering him this time.

If Edsall were to get the job you can put all your money on DB "highly recommending" the OC and Randy would get the message to leave the OC alone.

Doubtful. Control freak.

 

[Northbound]

Christ that's like calling the cops to a party. What a buzzkill that rumor is.

 

[TRest]

Well, he is used to playing without a passing game. Put me in the "looks small-time" camp.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

It wouldn't work the 2nd time around. Typically don't when coaches go home again.

My biggest issue with Edsall is that the program has a ceiling that he has placed on it. Yes, as it has been already mentioned, he would be a better coaching version of Diaco (with far less personality, which has severe positives and negatives) but one who would never be able to get the program beyond where it was, solely because he doesn't believe it can be done.

I will be very underwhelmed if this happens and I will need to think long and hard about my commitment as a fan of the program.

Don't think he ever recovered from having to use a LB as a QB after 4 went down to injury. First year?

Shockingly, he struggled to find good QB play. He also wasn't as much of as a trainwreck as we remember IMO. His intra-conference records at MD would have fit in with his intra-conference records @ UCONN. In better conferences.

Its Edsel !

 

[ZooCougar]

He had a passing game when Frazier and Endres were playing well in his penultimate season with us.

It sounds to me like Edsall is a done deal. He was in Mansfield 4 weeks ago for what it's worth.

 

[Husky25]

Please no. He had one foot out the door beginning in 2007. This is less than "meh" to me. On the other hand, my oldest turns 5 next summer and I would feel perfectly justified in going to his soccer games than merely working practices (what he did as a 4 year old) around the home UConn schedule (i.e. foregoing season tickets).

Randy Edsall, is Al Groh, Glen Mason esqe.

8-5, is about your ceiling with a chance at 9-3. 5-7, is your floor with a chance at 4-8. You'll almost always be competitive. He will tell fans they have no right to have expectations (he did), he will blame every loss on lack of execution by the players. He will break his arm patting himself on the back and praising the coaches when they win, see the ND on field post game interview.

After the last two coaches, I welcome him back, but I'm not running to renew tickets until I see he has a plan in place for the offense that is different than what he had here last time.

I think if Edsel is coming back it's because a couple big donors wanted him back, no?

 

[huskymedic]

Also Randy was supposedly in the state today.

Nah...

 

[FDNY99]

I miss going to bowl games and his team gave me one of the greatest highlights as a fan, being there to watch them beat Norte Dame in their house!

I'm right there with you was at all the same games...but I also hear the same week after week at Rentschler about games, defense, and style of offense played...and I can tell you that what Edsall does is NOT what people want to see...

 

[Exit 4]

I think if Edsel is coming back it's because a couple big donors wanted him back, no?

And because he is budget friendly vs others (I would think).

And because Edsall probably knew exactly what to say to DB.

 

[noeynox]

Nah...

You sure, this was premium info from a paid site.

Bill Snyder would disagree

If RE accomplished close to what Snyder had during his first run, I would think differently about this possibility. If RE had done close to what Petrino did in his first Louisville run during his first run here I would also view the idea in a more positive manner.

RE is not some game changing hire (unless perpetually finishing between second and fourth in the AAC east is what we want the game changed to).

 

[amory]

Come on back and let's win some football games like we used to.

I'd be psyched

 

[#1 PA Husky Fan]

Wonder what Dan O and his former players would think about him coming back?

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Bill Snyder would disagree

Yup. You got me. He has defied all the odds and keeps going. Enjoy watching his teams.

The one good thing about him coming back, and I'm hoping he doesn't, is he can coach up some talent we have that have not improved in the Diaco era.

I agree, but he would more than hold his own against these caliber coaches I would think.

Question do they play this at the press conference?
