UConn issued the following statement: "Corey Edsall reports to the Chief Operating Officer, Beth Goetz, who serves the role as sports administrator for football. At no time during Corey's employment at UConn will he report to Randy Edsall. All personnel decisions in regards to Corey Edsall including evaluation, compensation, promotion, demotion, and disciplinary action will be made by Beth as his director supervisor. Coach Randy Edsall will not have any input on his evaluation or contract terms."

None of this affects Corey Edsall's day-to-day role as a coach.

Edsall Names 4 To UConn Staff, Including Son Corey, Who Won't Report To Coach

Imagine that...

>Fathers and sons being part of the same coaching staff is not uncommon in college football.

Shane Beamer spent five seasons as the special teams coordinator under Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech. Steve Spurrier Jr. spent 11 seasons under his father at South Carolina.

At Penn State, Jay Paterno worked for Joe Paterno and, at Arizona State, Bryce Erickson worked under Dennis Erickson. Lane Kiffin hired his father, Monte Kiffin, as defensive coordinator while coach at Southern Cal. And on Monday, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz named his son, Brian Ferentz, a Hawkeyes staff member since 2012, the team's offensive coordinator.>>

Onto the next round of hirings...

Honestly you can't masks this crap up. The State crucified some guy for helping his kid get a job with some consultant who works for the state among others but the wife of the governors chief of staff lands a job with the state as a liaison with the governors office but that's ok. Edsall hires his kid and it's a bfd for a job for which he is well qualified.

I agree with the late Richard J Daley of Chicago. If you don't think I'm going to do everything I can to help my kid you can kiss my as $.

It's typical of CT. There's always someone on a high horse about something in this state.

Not for nothing, but some (gulp) Top 500 guys are now showing up as having interest in UConn on recruiting sites. Of particular interest we actually made an offer to a 5-star OT who ended up going to Georgia but was getting recruited by all the big names, Alabama, etc. http://connecticut. .com/Season/2017-Football/Targets check out this page and then check out the sudden increased caliber of targets for 2018 and 2019 and who we are competing with for recruits. I guess we are done competing with Ball State, Dartmouth, and Villanova for recruits!

So BTW, who really cares if Edsall's son is on the staff. Things are getting done - that's what we need! I'm excited to see who the OC and DC hires will be. Should be interesting.

very pleased to see Terry RIchardson and Jon come back to East Hartford.

Ryan Steinberg is in his eighth season with Maryland, including his fourth as the assistant director of football operations/recruiting. He spent the previous four seasons as the assistant recruiting coordinator.

Steinberg maintains the recruiting database, is in charge of mailings and has been the director of the Maryland football camp since 2011. He also organizes all on-campus recruiting visits and special events, as well as assisting in academic and compliance issues for prospective student-athletes.

He spent the 2007 season as an intern on the Maryland staff. Steinberg was also the assistant camp director in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Prior to becoming a full-time member of the staff, Steinberg spent five seasons as a student assistant in the Maryland football office.

He served as the Gridiron Technology specialist from January 2006 through May 2007, helping implement and maintain the state-of-the-art computer program which aids the coaches and players in simulating game action.

Steinberg also spent the 2002 through 2006 football seasons as a student equipment manager, including the final three as the head student manager.

He also worked at the Terrapin Technique School each summer as a student.

A native of North Potomac, Md., Steinberg graduated from Maryland in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in family studies. He also minored in sports commerce and culture and received his master's in management from the University of Maryland University College in May of 2011. He completed his M.B.A from UMUC in August of 2014 and was a member of the athletics department’s Emerging Leaders Program during the 2013-14 academic year.​


Man, seems like the Terps really was Steinberg's dream job

Would be nice to have Shane Beamer come in and coach special teams for us, no? Teach us his father's old tricks that subsequently put VATech on the FBS map forever... just sayin... after 3 fruitless years of missing out that part of the game plan it'd be nice to finally wholeheartedly incorporate it into our system.

Why are we still taking about this? We got RE on at least a $1M per year discount and all he wanted was to bring in a low level assistant coach who happens to be his kid?

Get a life people.

Wasn't Edsall's Son getting a position at Uconn a stipulation of his contract? If it was, and they still hired him, why does anyone give a **** about this now? Its like signing a contract where you work Monday thru Thursday with every Friday off. Pretty ridiculous if anybody gets upset that you are on the golf course instead of at your desk on Friday Morning.

The tradition of fathers and sons working together in college football is so long and documented that this shouldn't even raise an eyebrow. The kid is a position coach with limited scope of responsibility, its not like he was brought in as a coordinator or something ridiculous. Odds are he'll work twice as hard to prove himself as his own man. That can only be a good thing for your team.

Would anyone have had a problem if it wasn't mentioned in the contract?

Sadly and incredibly, doesn't this caption have to be "Not the worst coach we've had in the last few Years."

Lol, indeed. Toward the end of this season when even hapless Tulane was lighting us up, I definitely muttered to myself that even PP was better.

I just can't imagine Edsall taking in a guy like Weist who has played interim HC twice in five years. I'll be pleasantly surprised, but frankly very surprised. Weist would also tilt our staff a little more to the older side which has its merits, but I was kinda of thinking when Edsall was announced that we'd see a very senior Coach Edsall and a band of dynamic young coaches from FCS schools looking to prove it.

The first point is a very good one. Not many coaches look forward to taking over a 3-9 team with a "coach in waiting" that they don't have any personal ties to.
