Edsall stepping down immediately

JohnFSilver said:
JC was passive-aggressive. How you may ask? The Burton Family Football Complex was built in 2006. The first time JC ever stepped foot in that building was Warde Manuel's press conference introducing him as the new AD. That's about as passive-aggressive as you can get. He called it the Taj Mahal for 6-7 years and never stepped inside?

Anyhow, JC is a football fan too, so it isn't like he had no interest in the sport. He watched all the games even just random football games.

BTW, funny story about JC and football now that I can speak out of school...

Remember the Zach Frazier, Tyler Lorenzen, Cody Endres debates (oh my god wouldn't we give to have any of the 3)....

Randy had a big presser back in the day I think comparing Tyler or Zach, not sure, to Taliek Brown how Jim stood by him and he was such a winner and won games ugly and the media didn't know what we were talking about (Endres was best pure QB) etc.

5 minutes before the presser Jim was in the elevator and said..."That guy Cody is by far the best QB."

I almost died. LOL.

JC is the GOAT.

Endres was without question the best pure passer of the three. I'll leave it at that.

JC's animosity (I hold a similar stance) was due to Hathaway being unwilling to actually put any effort into securing a basketball facility. He figured both programs were successful so why bother.

When I think of all of the opportunities that JH pi$$ed away I want to beat him senseless.
 
When RE was rehired, I was against it because of the way he left-the school had little to no leverage as the budget concerns were 1st and foremost-I expected the team to be more competitive this season. Hard to argue with this move.
We will see if the interim moves the dial with on the field performance.

Great stories - thanks.

I can only tell you that I know plenty of UConn alum and basketball fans who don't understand why we're still playing football. Those folks are definitely out there.

Some of them are my good friends. I'm in the "wanting football to succeed" minority with that group.

This is aggravating. The joke about 15 years ago was that the men’s team hated football, women’s team hates the men’s team and that football hated everyone.

I gotta blame a lot of the very old media for this many many moons ago. Calhoun was always miffed how much we spent on football (stadium, practice center) and the media kind of took up that passive aggressive spirit …basketball vs. football. I can’t tell you how many times, after a loss, the old “is it basketball season?” I heard.

Then, it was men’s hoops making fun of the older people liking women’s hoops, then women’s hoops doing the “men are men, and women are champions BS”

One of the great mysteries I have as a former writer covering the team, an alum of the school and a CT resident is the hate one of the fan bases has fir the other.

The only thing all 3 fan bases agree on is Jim Penders is awesome. I am not joking on that either.

Calhoun hated a lot of things in the athletic dept, especially when Geno started winning National Championships every year. Lol. I’m sure Hurley, Spanos, and Geno will get along. Dave Benedict will make sure of it.

Ok, now I hope with Spanish we can see what Steven Krajewski can do... I just hope we won't lose any players who said they'll be at UConn next year.
Expand ...
I hope Spanish also gets more plays, especially crossing routes for JRose. The guys a senior, not sure if this is his last year eligible, but let him shine, pound for pound he’s the best football player on the team.

So that was the issue...Jack Zergiotis was speaking the wrong language! ;)

Sorry.. I have the first AUTO-INCORRECT keyboard. Spanish is supposed to be SPANOS! Anyway, I want to see a good/great game against Perdue.

I just read an article from some moron saying that UConn have no business as a FBS team after getting beat by a good HC team. I wonder if that moron wrote if Michigan - after App State beat them - have no business in FBS. I think no...

I thought “Spanish” was his nickname. Lol

So when they get an AD that does try to secure a BB facility, JC told people not to contribute. Never understood that.

I have no desire to engage in this subject on a public forum but in a nutshell, while I don't necessarily agree with the stance JC took, the way he was approached his response was understandable all things considered.

i always thought that JC told his former players not to contribute, because they had already done enough for the school. This I can understand.

That is funny...but what would happen if we beat Perdue? They'll find another school to make fun of...

This was funny but what would Ryan McGee do if Randy showed up at his office to discuss? It's easy to hide behind a keyboard.
