Edsall stepping down immediately

[LoyalFanCT]

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.

We should all give him a chance. He may be able to motivate the team to win winnable games. Randy just couldn't do it in recent years.

 

[Vowelguy]

I hope that as a condition of employment he had to change his name to Lou-bo.

Dabo, Jimbo, Loubo— it’s really the missing piece.

What an absolute joke this program is.

We can’t even fire people without screwing it up.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I'd love know what really happened the last 48 hours.

What an absolute joke this program is.

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

 

[uconnbill]

I like Spanos and he has a lot of fire as we saw on the sideline on Saturday.

Well it gives UConn more time to look and bring in someone else.

I'd love know what really happened the last 48 hours.

This would be where it would be important to have top notch local reporters with trusted sources who can get the scoop. But alas...we got the HORDE. Who are probably reading the Boneyard right now,

 

[NowInStorrs]

Works for me. Let's do a good job on the replacement search.

Exactly what I thought too. The details would give me great joy but doubtful we’ll learn how things went down

My guess? AD said put Krajewski in and edsall said no and stuff escalated

 

[Woof 101]

Wow he's outa here faster than a 3 yard run up the middle.

I'd go with a flight after the Fiesta Bowl.

"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?

 

[sub legacy]

We can complicate a ham sandwich.

A uniquely Connecticut attribute.

 

[Scoe]

Whoa, kudos to Benedict if he really did dive into the mud and was willing to get dirty, you are part of this mess to now own it and fix it.

 

[oldanintheway]

Whoa. Where does that leave Corey?

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?

 

[sub legacy]

Can't expect too much, but it'll be interested to see what Spanos can do for the remainder of the season.

 

[Chief00]

Dunno.
“He’s fired but we’re gonna let him coach 9 more games” was also a really tough sell.

I agree - never made sense.

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.

 

[firstnline]

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.

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.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[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
