Edsall stepping down immediately

[ASweet3781]

"Randy Edsall and director of athletics David Benedict have come to the mutual decision that it is in the best interest of the UConn football program for Edsall to step aside immediately as head football coach."

Okay, change of plans then. Lou Spanos is coach rest of the season. Must have gotten ugly in DB's office the last 24 hours.

Anyone still think Edsall retired voluntarily?

Regardless of what some on here say, Benedict got played too into thinking there would be "noticeable improvement" due to the year off. It was his cred also on the line now. A positive sign he was angry enough that Edsall is gone 48 hours after a humiliating loss and making a fool out of everyone.

Let's see how creative the staff is now.

Going out with a loss to Holy Cross? No.

 

[uconndogs]

This is ridiculous. You have to get this right the first time. If he lost the locker room then he had to go, not “retire”.

I would can DB too.

I like the Spanos choice a ton. That video of him while appalling was way more on edsall than him. He was passionate. He was in that game down 10. Edsall just wasn’t. I love this choice. Would honestly not be shocked if he gets some wins out of this team and gets an interim off and honestly I think that’s what AD David Benedict wants to try.

Listening now on the PC? I've got 97.9 on the PC, but they're talking Cowboys. No Spanos. Do you have a link?

It’s on the varsity network app. Spanos on now

 

[HuskyHawk]

Didn’t see this coming. Hoping Borges or somebody gets some details. That said, I like it. Let’s see if a different coach can get something out of these guys. Cannot expect any significant scheme changes though.

 

[HobokenHusky]

I sincerely hope he wasn’t allowed to say goodbye to anyone or collect his things from his office. Karma.

[Ajs120102]

Yup. Really not hard to see these players love playing for him. Spanos probably will run a different practice too. Excited to see results. Not expecting wins but a team that competes from down 1 till the clock strikes 0:00 in the 4th

 

[Adios]

It sounds like Randy tried to retire before Dave could fire him. This is on Randy.

 

[Purple Stein]

People wanted him out. It took 2 days but he’s out. Must everything be a complaint?

Lol - you think we handled this well?

Based on Spanos comments it doesn't sound like Randy told him..

Seems like Randy got slick.

What did Spanos say? A recap would be great. Couldn’t listen.

This contract year ends in December:

He just sounded as clueless as everyone else

Spanos not saying much to Crispino

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Okay so he had also completely lost the locker room

Goodbye and good riddance. My Rentschler strike ends after 48 hours!

It was a weird answer to the question that was asked

 

[Sonova]

Whoa. Where does that leave Corey?

Who cares?
