Edsall stepping down immediately

[jostar1]

 

[Bomber36]

nothing will change until the ad is gone, he's the real problem

Can’t agree with you…sorry.

 

[Bomber36]

I have to Mea Culpa here. Yesterday I was giving out "likes" to many BY posters who said, (basically), "Ok he's gone. Now we have time to prepare and search for a new HC." But I was wrong, this was the right move. The players will rally, and they understand and respect Corey's position. Time to just play ball. Renewed energy, Bring it!

How does any of this change our talent level? Serious question. I really hope I’m wrong, but help me out here. I want these kids to succeed.

Fair question. I'll try and answer but don't know if I have the words.
"How does any of this change the talent level"? If you're speaking about the pure physical abilities, size, strength, quickness, speed, etc., ---not a thing, But...., highly tuned athletes mental and emotional states can be delicate, almost an unconscious working. A "relaxation" of the mind, leads to a "calmness" of the body, enabling it to be more clear & open to on field communication for example, one is more "aware" of the time and space he is in, things slow down, confidence grows, even the clouds above set against the deep blue clear New England Autumn sky, the fresh color of the green grass field... you notice,"feel", if you will, in a new way. You're in the "Right Place" at the right time-Now. And so you find yourself moving to a spot more effortlessly, your speed hasn't changed but your recognition of your defensive/offensive keys for instance has, and so you arrive a split second earlier, a cut instinctively comes a split second sooner and that may make all the difference.
A New Beginning..., we know, like the kids we used to be, we won't be "yelled at" so harshly if we make a mistake, we are now free. We belong here.

He's off to his "Dream" retirement ! Question is did he take a plane to get there?

Thank you for the reply…but I do not feel like “Zen football“ will change anything. We still are what we are. Now throwing Steven Krajewski in as the starter might be a start. By the way, this question wasn’t just aimed at you..plenty of other people feel like this will be a sudden attitude turn around. That’s a big ask.

Fair enough, didn't mean to get all Lao Tzu on you, but a new start can mean a more relaxed athlete that's all, and so more confidence, over and out.

 

[Vowelguy]

This is the problem right here. You think the Auburn board is referencing Lao Tzu?

well maybe if they’re taking about foofy dogs, but that’s it

Hey 'contrarian.'

Uh, Reading????? At Auburn Alabama????? Sheesh!

So it may have come down to how the rest of the season was to be conducted. The staff and perhaps the players wanted to try new things and Edsall being too stubborn to embrace those changes.

This contract year ends in December:

What a world we live in.

He's off to his "Dream" retirement ! Question is did he take a plane to get there?

FHCRE.
Amen.

 

[storrsroars]

FHCRE.
Amen.

He's now Free.

I assume that's what you meant

 

[Ajs120102]

Randy changed his profile picture to him golfing and his banner to a Florida sunset

 

[BOHICA]

He's now Free.

I assume that's what you meant

Absolutely. Never saw eye to eye, but I wish him no ill will.

 

[noeynox]

He's now Free.

I assume that's what you meant

Former

 

[willie99]

Randy should have just packed up his things and left in the middle of the night

He's breaking tradition now

 

[Gluap]

I thought his hiring was a convenience choice and his firing was inevitable. We merely needed to fill in the date. He has always been ego centric with little ability to accept input. There was it seemed a false sense of humility he would trot out publicly when need be. Regardless he is now gone. The season is only two games old and can be made into a positive still If goals are reasonable. Since a national championship was never the goal it seems a refined vision should not be that hard to swallow. We have better athletes and some more veteran presence. Identify winnable opportunities and realistic goals within games that are not. First of which is we play the game hard all the time. If you give up you sit down no exceptions ! Good luck huskies real fans will be there !

Chaos In Storrs: Edsall Out Immediately; Who's Next?

 

[HuskyNan]

C'mon man...

Boosters > fans

 

[Adios]

Edsall cleared out most of his tweets going back to 2017. Grumpy, bitter wealthy man. Gets to vacation all over the planet for the rest of his life.

Just had to correct my post. Need to put down the damn phone. He left his tweets up. My fault.

I thought you had a different version of Twitter than I did last night

I read this twice. Second time I played "The Age of Aquarius" in the background and it was a better read.

I even double checked Edsall's Twitter account before I posted. I have no idea what happened. Hope it was a cosmic ray playing with my phone.

I will say, as a die hard UConn basketball fan...it feels great to root for UConn football's success now that basketball has been saved. Before the Big East move, a successful (or even mediocre) football program stuck in the AAC would have been the death of UConn basketball. We're probably the only school in the country that has had basketball and football fans pitted against each other to try to save our favorite program lol.

We are the only fanbase like this that I know of and it's pathetic. Even with the bball fans getting their wish of rejoining the NBE, they still want the FB to go away. I had a whole conversation with a good friend yesterday about how the FB program is essential to the AD. He said it was not true and the program is an embarrassment and should just be dropped. My friend is a huge FB guy too, yet he grew up with UConn bball and thinks we need to just "accept" that's what we are as a school. It's embarrassing that our own alumnus and fans can't cheer for ALL UConn teams, no matter the sport. It's even worse when your own fan base are actively stating that the football team should be scrapped.
