Edsall Dumpster Fire, Worse than P or D, by far.

[uconnbill]

Don’t feed me patience BS. UAB went from no team to 10 wins faster than than this .

I understand this, but it is apples and oranges. The AAC is must better than the C-USA but they did come back from nothing to something.

 

[zls44]

You can believe what Randy believes- but you cannot say it publicly. Have some tact. Good lord.

 

[Giscombe12]

I have a feeling we're just waiting for Randy's digestive system to produce a steaming turd on our plate

I'm pretty sure it already has and if it hasn't, he'll certainly find a player to blame it on.

 

[BlueDogs]

This program is in total shambles and will remain that way until people are held accountable

 

[superjohn]

And yet there are people on this board who keep making excuses for him. Might as well fold up the program if you're going to keep this bum in charge.

 

[superjohn]

And to think, we had Joe Moorhead, who wanted the job, but he was passed him over SMH

Could have had Moorehead or Don Brown. The biggest lie Edsall keeps saying and his sycophants keep repeating is that it takes over half a decade to make a terrible team competitive again. It's nonsense and it's the words of an incompetent loser, there are always teams around the country turning it around.

Remember when UAB completely closed down the program for two years? They're way over .500 in the two years since bringing it back.

I know they have a much better recruiting area but, good lord, its UAB, with UAB facilities, they DEATH PENALTY'd themselves and are flying now.

 

[Bomber36]

I will not go to another game. And I’ve had season tix on and off since 2000. I’m done.

 

[scotty0330]

Yeah this is ridiculous. My buddy and I are done with season tix. We will just cherry pick games and go for free or very reduced prices. We are the absolute worst program in FBS. Next year won’t be any better

Getting rid of season tickets was best thing I did. Not an ounce of regret. Great for my mental health. Cherry pick games saves you money and seats we all know will be plentiful.

 

[huskysupporter]

Edsall has officially shown he was more lucky then skilled first time around. Now he’s just washed up and delusional.

This might be one of the dumbest things I have seen posted on here, and that is saying a lot. Say what you want about version 2.0.

 

[bigAbruns]

Edsall is a below .500 coach, this is what you are going to get, a below average coach hires below average assistants who recruit below average players and yields a below average season. When he manages to hire a decent coach, he handcuffs them into looking below average then when they leave they actually are above average.

So much wrong with this statement as well. Might want to take a look at former Edsall assistants. Might also be a little hindered at the salary allotted for assistant pay.

If he keeps Crocker on staff I will be irate, but your statement is just false.

So edsall is over .500 then....no he sucks, and he handcuffed his assistants who turned out better after they left. Nothing false about that. Don't care about salary you either can coach or you can't and they can't.

 

[metsfan2323]

I went to a reception with Dave Benedict last Sunday

Well there goes the Dave Benedict is MIA theory. Another boneyard rumor proven to be bullcrap.

 

[UCFBfan]

The bottom line here is that we are trying to run an athletic department that supports three major sports on a G5 budget. Look around the G5, is there any program putting as much money into basketball, both men's and women's, as well has having a competitive FB team. Schools like Kansas and UNC and Duke can do it because they have P5 money pouring in.

UConn has dumped tons of money into basketball because it's what we've always been good at. If that's the route we want to go then it might be time to just commit fully to it and let football go.

We are stuck with RE because we can't afford anyone else. We bought out Diaco, we found a way out of KO's contract, we hired Hurley and are paying him a lot, and Geno is making tons. All the things I listed above should have happened and I'm glad they did. However, it makes it impossible for us to also run a successful FB program, especially in a barren recruiting territory.

I know Dooley had a thread on this but if we are going to put money into football, then it needs to be done right. The past 8 years have been littered with piece meal fixes and bad hires. If this is going to get turned around they need to make one last big push and drop serious money into FB. Problem is, I have no clue where that comes from because they aren't pulling it from bball, and we have no deep pocket donors.....

I just don't see a light at the end of this tunnel. I am a huge football fan of our school and hate the talk of dropping football or dropping down, etc. However, the day of reckoning is quickly approaching where a decision will need to be made.

 

[metsfan2323]

You can believe what Randy believes- but you cannot say it publicly. Have some tact. Good lord.

Why not? He's not saying they have no talent or won't ever be good, he is saying they are not physically ready yet but they are being forced to play because you have to put eleven on the field. The biggest problem we have is our defensive line is being mauled because they aren't strong enough.

Jay Wright lost to Furman yesterday, does that mean Jay Wright has lost his ability to coach or does that mean Nova might have a player development deficit this year?

 

[Adios]

We're not dropping football. We're in the AAC. God have mercy on us.

Army almost beat Oklahoma this season. It all comes down to coaching.

 

[noeynox]

Edsall is underwhelming and has always been underwhelming. Bringing him back was inexplicable and at this point I don't see any reason for hope moving forward.

That said, the team P inherited from him was a real football team, full of real football players who, man for man, were capable of competing physically with anyone else in the country. Those things have become increasingly untrue with every season since.

P and Diaco were incompetent. Edsall is probably better than that, but he's definitely not good enough to undo a decade's worth of malpractice. This would be a chore for Bill Parcells.

Why is that an u reasonable thing to say? He failed at Maryland, has crushed UConn into the worst D1 program of all time and he doesn’t seem to comprehend what he is doing is wrong for the players

 

[metsfan2323]

Remember when UAB completely closed down the program for two years? They're way over .500 in the two years since bringing it back.

I know they have a much better recruiting area but, good lord, its UAB, with UAB facilities, they DEATH PENALTY'd themselves and are flying now.

I was curious so I looked up UAB's two deep. On defense they start 8 seniors, two JR's and one sophomore. On offense they start 9 seniors and 2 sophomores.

 

[noeynox]

I understand this, but it is apples and oranges. The AAC is must better than the C-USA but they did come back from nothing to something.

The point is to look like a fb team. To go from no team to ten wins in two years is a remarkable contrast to our team, that every week looks like it's the first time they ever played. Every week Edsall offers lame excuses.

 

[UConn66]

Edsall has officially shown he was more lucky then skilled first time around. Now he’s just washed up and delusional.

Tell that to South Carolina and Notre Dame

 

[Waquoit]

I plan on being there next week for the seniors if for nothing else. I think we all should be there for them.

It better be a 3:30 game. Otherwise, I won't be there until halftime.

 

[huskymedic]

It is...

 

[huskyrob1]

He should have been earlier, then, and he should have been Krajewski

I'm told by my source on the football team that the coaches would love see Steven Krajewski gain 10 pounds of muscle. He is a terrific passer and has good speed but needs to be able to take a hit. He is our future but needs to get stronger and bulk up slightly without sacrificing speed and passing accuracy, which is a delicate thing to accomplish for the coaches. He reminds me a lot of Sandy Osiecki, the great Ansonia QB. Tall, skinny, a gun for an arm.
