Does Randy get another year?

He gets two more years unless next year is a level of tire fire even worse than this year. He's playing for 2020. He knows it. We know it. And I expect Benedict knows it.

The better question is, who lasts longer; Edsall or Benedict?

Well, assuming Hurley pans out like we all expect I'd say Benedict's job is safe. He could, however, leave of his own accord somewhere down the line...

That's the correct answer. Benedict is tied to Hurley's performance. I think we'll have a great year in hope hoops, but God help Benedict if we have a bad one...

How in any possible way could next year be any worse that this year??? We’re beaten RI .... that’s it .... on the last play of the game sack....

Well were losing Pindell, Mayala, Maclean, Buss, Beals, with no real experienced replacements (the exception being Tyler Davis, Keyion Dixon), so Idt that being worse next year is too far fetched. I can't see how the defense really gets much better with the same cast of characters suiting up next year (albeit a year more experienced), but nothing I've seen this year suggests the defensive players are going to make giant leaps forward. Krejewski could be a good QB, but at this point, that is unknown.

I was sick of him his 1st time here, because he is an absolute dunderhead when it comes to connecting with the fans. Most at UConn took for granted nearly 40k, coming out all the time. That is a distant memory now, and this buffoon is talking about not caring about wins and losses and expecting people to show up? This isn't Nebraska bro.
 
Jeez I thought New York fans were impatient,here we’ve been in the dirt since RE left and we want to get rid of him half way through a rebuild.... Boneyard= delusional

We shouldn’t get rid of him. It’s stupid to say that. Two years doesn’t do much. Let him do his thing

Benedict will be gone within a year of the new President's hire. Standard operating procedure - the new leader will want his/her team.
 
I think he gets all 3 years left on his (unsigned?) contract, so long as each year there is something he can point to as real progress with a straight face. Next year the wins may again not total more than 1 or 2, but if the losses are by less breathtaking margins, say about 14-17 points on average, and the opponents yardage doesn't always read like a typo, he will be OK with Benedict. The fact that the QB will be inexperienced next year will also give him some cover. The year after that the plot thickens. Everyone will expect more wins and I think if he gets at least 4 and the team takes several other opponents into the 4th quarter he will get to year 5. Hopefully year 5 is when it finally comes together and we get to a bowl. That's what I think the plan has been all along and AD Dave is, I think, on board with it. But if year 5 starts out like year 3 did for PP, he could conceivably be gone before mid-season.

Presidents don't operate that way. Coaches do, but not presidents. The new president will only get rid of him if the public asks for it. They'd rather focus on academics if they can...

We’ll win three games next year tops. Our best offensive player graduates and our best WR. Defense will be mostly the same, but probably not much better. Pindell is our only asset this year. I think we’ll probably win 2 games next year if I had to bet on it
 
I need to see the team fail like this with a full complement of of upperclassmen before I talk about canning Edsall. Who are we realistically going to get otherwise?

He gets at least 2 more, after that, the whole program may collapse as three AD’s and three coaches have failed to hire correctly and turn the program around.

The school simply does not have the money needed to hire the right coach or staff.
 
Crocker will be thrown to the lions first, preserving Randy for another season.

At least watch the whole press conference in its full context before passing judgment based on one reporter cherry-picking a quote. Many times things look a lot worse in print.

One thing that bothers me about that, he's again complaining about non P5 status. If that is such a huge deal to him he should reconsider. He knew that when he threw his hat in the ring.
 
RE 1.0: 3-8, 2-9, 6-6, Starting year 4 won at least 8 games 6 out of 8 years. RE 2.0: 3-9, 1-7, have to give him 3 more years to work his system of building a program.

He went from D1A to D1 the first time. Has the resources from day 1 with Randy2.0 - stadium, training facility, scholarships, etc.
 
I'm not sure if UConn AD don't care about FB anymore. I think they might de-emphasize for LaCrosse.
 
Stop the scumbag, Randy is a joke crap. Discuss Edsall if you want, but this childish middle school nonsense is getting old.

Love these threads

With no viable way to pay Edsall off plus the next guy in .... and still hurting from Diaco. You think we just fire like its WalMart.
 
Can’t wait for us to hire a new coach, just so he can blame Diaco again.
