So you can probably put to bed any “Let’s keep Spanos!” talk

What was Edsall doing for the last 3 years?

 

[sub legacy]

Yes, I saw.

I'm increasingly convinced by the day that he was tanking the program. Didn't know such a thing was possible. Can't believe he's genuinely that inept.

Stealing money, apparently.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

meh.
'The UAB football program was terminated after the 2014 season but was reinstated shortly thereafter. The team went on hiatus for two seasons before returning in 2017. UAB won both its first conference championship and bowl game in program history in 2018.'
here's to the future. they look happy.

Collecting a paycheck and not enough Boneyard posters bothered to hold him accountable.

LOL, Glad you think the Boneyard has that kind of power!

 

[History Geek]

The season isn't over yet

 

[powerplay]

Soooooooo.... There's room for improvement? lol

 

[MCMax]

Nowhere to go but up...

 

[CTMike]

Nowhere to go but up...

Never say that.

The architect of the current D so it was never happening anyway. But retention is the major issue and my guess is that is a problem that will be with UConn for a long long while no matter who is coach.

At some point in time I may Google SP+ to find out what these means and why I should care about. I'm not there yet.

In the meantime, everyone on the planet who follows college football UConn knows this team has been historically bad.

 

[BlueandOG]

Yawn. This is good material for the 30 for 30 they make about our first playoff appearance.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Imagine thinking that Pasqualoni going 5-7 or Disco making a bowl at 6-6 were going to be the high water marks of the last decade.

Let me help…

-> What is SP+? In a single sentence, it's a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. I created the system at Football Outsiders in 2008, and as my experience with both college football and its stats has grown, I have made quite a few tweaks to the system.

It is, as always, important to note that SP+ is intended to be predictive and forward-facing. It is not a résumé ranking that gives credit for big wins or particularly brave scheduling -- no good predictive system is. It is simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football. <-

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Never say that.

To be fair, while our SP+ could in theory go down, it is actually impossible to be worse than the all-time worst. We have literally hit rock bottom. We are at the Earth's Core. It is no longer possible for us to be ranked lower.

 

[ASweet3781]

Nothing a little charisma won't solve.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

We are #1!!! At least we haven't (yet!) got beat 222-0. I wonder what the Cumberland fan site would be like if they had the internet back then. Let's keep this in mind: 'No matter what, we can't give up 222 points...'

 

[ClifSpliffy]

here's another from, like 5 minutes ago. they lost, big whoop. everrbody seemed to have a good time regardless.

 

[How Sway?!]

No longer last

Still playing, (but no one knows why.)
