Edsall's Salary Embarrassingly Low

[The Funster]

Obviously, RE and the AD are happy wth the deal. Nothing to see here.

Why do people think RE is happy with what he go? When you only have one offer, you take it. You can be happy or unhappy that what your one offer pays is not on par with others at your pay grade.

Was that really Edsall's situation though?

You take what you are offered, not if it is the only offer, but if it is the only alternative.

Theoretically, Edsall was still gainfully employed by the Lions when he was re-hired, plus he had his Maryland buyout.

With Edsall I don't think it's as much about the salary(for now anyways) as it is about getting a chance to right a wrong, about his legacy and about coming back to finish something he started a long time ago. He brought UConn football to the gates of the promised land but then left before they actually got there. Now it's time to rebuild the program and make it a national power. The appropriate compensation will come then.

HCRE is here because he wants to be a head coach and no other D-1 team would hire him, period. And that's fine, why do people need it to be more?

I disagree with you on no team would hire him, but to each his own.

Edsall could get hired in 30 seconds in the MAC. Doesn’t pay a million but he could morph into Frank Solich Jr in about 18 months.
