Done deal with Edsall

[UChusky916]

Breaking news: Edsall agrees to return to UConn

 

[Exit 4]

If this happens I believe its because this is all that we could afford. Randy has to be coming on the cheap, he has no other options. Plus, as I have said several times already, Randy has to be pitching himself as the guy that will retire here.

 

[8893]

Wow. It's going to take me a bit to warm to this.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Oh boy.

 

[Exit 4]

Btw, will Randy take a cue with another hard in Coughlin who softened up in the later years?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Preferred Moorhead, but I think our program is at a cross roads. Edsall is the surest thing to get us back to respectability in the next couple of seasons. At that point, maybe we can reevaluate. Another dud hire and let's face it, it's going to take a couple seasons to evaluate that based on the mess Diaco left, would truly tank our program.

I'm OK with this.

 

[PRHusky]

This is worst than keeping Diaco. Wow. I am in shock.

won Coughlin a few SuperBowls with the Gints when he got back into HC after getting canned by Jax

 

[superjohn]

Gross, this is horrible.

BS. How is it worse?

It's likely that very few people wanted this job. UConn football is currently garbage. If you consider that, Edsall is a godsend. Maybe not for the distant future, but we need to just get back on track.

 

[kemba]

Is this a real source?

 

[Pudge]

Wow. It's going to take me a bit to warm to this.

Exactly

And Edsall can - is able - to sell this. But, his tenure gave you hope. He needs to have evolved: this AAC is no joke. We need a dynamic offense.

Ur kidding, right? Diaco looked the part all day long... Even sounded the part... but...
not enamored with bringing Edsall back but he's better than the last 2 at least.

 

[31GuardTrap]

You guys realize Blauds just wants clicks.....

 

[uconNYC]

I am also extremely disappointed. Has nothing to do with Edsall's past. Just don't think he is the right guy at this time and juncture for UConn Football.

 

[UConnMike04]

I'm actually okay with this. He's a "safe" hire in my opinion. I think he realized that the worst career move he ever made was leaving, and the worst move for us was him leaving bc of what happened. As mentioned, we can't go out and take a "chance" with this hire.

Plus, something cool about the guy coming in to fix "his" program after it was ripped to shreds after he left. Plus, it'll be some stability bc he'll most likely retire here instead of up and leaving in 2-3 year when a P5 job opens.

I would've loved Moorehead and Miles, but we have to be realistic where we are right now and what we can afford and the image we have as a program.

Geez, this is so bland

Gross, this is horrible.

Every time you think nothing can be said that is more stupid than a particular post, some Boneyarder steps to the plate and hits it out of the park. Bravo.

 

[ktuck911]

Seems more and more valid

Jim Caldwell on Randy Edsall to #UConn rumors: "I can only say that's correct. I hope everything works out-it'd certainly be great for him."

 

[Tdaley]

THIS WOULD BE A VERY DISSAPPOINTING HIRE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT.

People are going to hate Edsall.

WHen he took UConn to the Fiesta bowl, people wanted him fired because "we couldn't do any worse"

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Going to be hard to be excited unless a strong OC with a a creative offense is hired.

I don't agree with this at all. I am frigging tired of this dismissive attitude. This conference has great football ... and it pays really damn well. We could get a solid hot coach. But fit? I am weighing the Les Miles v Randy equation. In the near term, no Miles is going to know the equation to get us far better quicker than Edsall. And then in 3 years, you have a 67 year old Miles. Or a Coordinator that you don't know if they can coach. Without a Wilder or Houston or MAC guy, none without risk, this has some path to success.

Not my favourite path. Far better than 2017 Diaco

More so than anything they need a QB. Job #1 is bringing Sherriffs back and letting him start if we want any modicum of success year 1.
