Edsall getting abused by Bowling Green

[Stinger92860]

RE leaving was fine, he owed to himself and his family to maximize his earnings. I just didn't like the way he left. I'd take him back if we were looking for a new coach.

I agree on the 1st point, not the second. Both parties need to permanently move on.

He handled leaving about as classless as anybody could have, but he did build the program they way it should have been built. I'll never forget this, which makes it all worth it.

Edall is ten games under .500 at Maryland. That figures to get worse this year.

He didn't know what he had at UConn. He was loved for for 7 and 8 win seasons in Storrs. And that's pretty much his max at Maryland. That will get him fired pretty soon at UMD. The Terp hardcore already hates his guts.

They canned an alum who had just gone 9-3 and won ACC Coach of the Year, which ought to tell you something about their willingness to pull the trigger on a coach.

That said, Randy's reputation was for running a squeaky clean program and graduating kids. Given the fact that Maryland did turn its back on an alum who went 9-3 and won ACC Coach of the Year, my guess is that Ralph didn't run the cleanest program in the world and that his graduation rate wasn't great.

Still, at some point, fans and alumni are going to want wins. He may already be at that point.

Was at Saratoga this summer and had a Maryland alumni who seemed to somehow be connected to football program sit next to me. Said he new RE pretty well. Asked him if he thought RE needed to win this year to keep his job. He stated that they loved the way he runs program and that he is safe.
I personally find this hard to believe if he ends up going 3 -9, or 4-8, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Plank loves him, so he might be able to hang around longer than most people expect.
