Done deal with Edsall

[sdhusky]

When I first heard the Edsall whispers I honestly thought it was a joke. If this is true, man we are a laughingstock.

Until RE2.0 starts winning.

I have talked to one guy that is full on board with Edsall. He's a complete moron. Hi Pelow.

 

[Redding Husky]

Why shouldn't that be? We were far more appealing during the Jr. Prom, dancing with Edsall, than we became our senior year dating only total losers.

I hope it all works out. He's the best coach we ever had. But he's 58, a defensive coach, and he's burned us once. Does he have any more "dream jobs" out there?

Another great post. We may be a laughingstock, but if we are it's because of how we played the second half of this year, not because of an unannounced as of yet coaching hire.

Good luck with that.

 

[Waquoit]

This has the potential to rip the boneyard apart. This is worse than Clinton/Trump.

Not even close. I hate this hire but I'll fall in line in time.

 

[businesslawyer]

Good luck with that.

Why do you hate UConn's football players.

Love hearing these buzzwords like invigorate a fanbase, sell the program, etc.

How long did that last under Diaco until the smart fans called out his bullcrap 1 game in vs BYU?

The Tulane game sure was invigor aged this season.

If Edsall wins, people will be back. If they don't come back when we are winning? Chances are the damage had been done and they were never returning anyways.

Courant now willing to put their name on Blaudschun's report, so my guess is it's happening:

Report: Randy Edsall Will Return As Head Coach Of UConn Football Team In 2017

He's 58, so we'd be stuck with him for 7-9 years, probably. .

The Fiesta Bowl thing is really an anomaly and a joke

The league was awful, it was guaranteed a spot. The national media thought it was a joke and that UConn was too. UConn got embarrassed 48-20 and confirmed their assumptions

In that same year UConn lost to 'Ville 27-0, Mich 30-10 and Temple 30-16

Edsall leveraged that to get his "dream job" and was a total ah*le when he left, especially to his players

I've said this before, after talking to actual players. In the moment, they would have preferred not to hear about it from other people and having a conference call. That being said, the only people that seem to hold a grudge about this are BYers, and not the players.

UConn football is a laughingstock for a whole host of reasons, this feels like the nail in the coffin though.

What Edsall needs to do is prove he can allow a dynamic offense. I'd assume that was part of the deal, if he is being rehired.

Why do you hate UConn's football players.

Why do you post nonsense like this?

Again, he was not my choice but that's just dumb. He coached so many levels above where we are now that you're making an absurd statement.

This. And only this. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only valid point of view.

IF JEFF HATHAWAY WAS MY BOSS ...

I would have burned you as well. I would have burned Rome and Atlanta. Frigging burned and ravaged that guys family. That has to be part of the story. Hathaway angered Calhoun ... Auriemma ... Edsall ... Herbst ... and probably Bob's Furniture and Webster Bank. But he got free cars and Ed Mitchell suits.

Standard Boneyard joke. Lighten up a little -- our coaching situation is light years ahead of where it was on Christmas, and where we thought we would be at the end of the season. Let's see if he can get back to the level he was at and then we can start complaining that anyone can do better and he's hit his cieling again.

You just asked me why I hate UConn football players and you're accusing me of making an absurd statement?!?? That is Waylon level stupid trolling.

You are consistently freaky-deaky on both MBB and FB boards ... Congrats.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Listen, I'm fine with Edsall -- especially since it looks like Moorhead wasn't interested and our options are limited.

But the amount of BYers who can look back at the glory days of Edsall but completely ignore the dumpster fire at Maryland are delusional, too.

 

[UConnDan97]

Well, I wanted Foley back at UCONN. This is certainly one possible way to make it happen.

If the reports are true, I wonder if RE will go after Foley and I wonder how much money it will take to get him back...

Sorry, didn't know it was a joke. I'm pretty upset right now with this hire.
