Sunday Gravy: Randy Edsall has chance to cement a legacy at UConn
Couple of interesting tidbits among the other comments:
>>Whether Edsall returns UConn football to the good old days is far from guaranteed. He created a viable BCS level program. His two predecessors left it in shambles. A dramatically changed landscape makes a rebuild all the more challenging. Recruiting at UConn wasn’t easy even with the carrot that was the Big East’s automatic BCS bid. The Power Five conferences now hold all the cards.<<
>>According to a well-connected source, Don Brown, the defensive coordinator at Michigan, was never contacted about the UConn job. Neither was Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead. Both are former assistants at the school. “Don Brown would’ve had serious interest in the job,” the source said. “That’s a fact.”<<
>> This UConn football storyline — Edsall’s turn from hero to heel to hero again — is a script straight out of Vince McMahon’s WWE handbook. Only thing missing at Friday’s introductory press conference was Jeff Hathaway jumping out from behind a curtain to bash Edsall over the head with a folding chair.<<
