Really, I respect your opinion, but now is not the time for this. Edsall is long gone, and this is Pasqualoni's program now, and Pasqualoni's program just crapped the bed.

Just responding to Zoo Cougar, and not sure what you're talking about, what is now the time for? Fact is, RE left this program w/o a QB, RB, and actually, on very short notice, without coaching options. PP is certainly the walking dead this year. At least after this year we can move forward. Should be, at least, "interesting" to watch this thing play out.

Oh. sorry. I really am hungover, and in a foul mood. Last thing I want to hear about is Randy Edsall. I'm much more concerned about what we're going to do moving forward.
 
I've been thinking that I can't remember a worse loss, even the shutout to Navy wasn't quite as deflating. The loss to New Haven is a good call, safe to say - at least for me - personally, we're at the bottom. It's only up from here, just a matter of how long it takes.
 
I almost agreed with this post Carl... I mostly do... But we haven't hit bottom yet. I've been fooled too many times before.
 
"We'll see how they recover, they've got 2 weeks now for Maryland."

They had 9 months since the Cincinnati loss and nothing changed. Nothing has changed since first game 2 years ago. I just don't think anything will change til PP and GDL are gone.
 
It's just incredibly disappointing. The good that Pasqualoni has done for this program away from the field, is really good, and I do believe that all those things matter a ton, because all of that stuff away from the field is where the foundations of what your potential ceiling can be as a football program, and I do trully believe that our potential ceiling is higher now, than it was in the past, but I can honestly say with a clear conscience now, that it looks like he's got nothing on the field anymore. Trust your eyes. So the saying goes.

We'll see what happens in 2 weeks. The maddening thing is that they'll probably crush Maryland, and drive us all completely crazy.

Well - there goes our shot at a national title game this year.

Maryland up next.

I'm at a loss for words, and that's not easy to do. It's not the athletes, they have the ability, the speed, the size. Look at a guy like Stewart. This is a guy that was tearing up the field at Florida in the Gator Bowl. He looked like he didn't know how to play football last night. THe talent is there. Everybody in this program better get their sh#t in gear.

Stewart showed me NOTHING last night!

That was the worst part of it. They looked like they were just going through the motions.

Not impressed, few missed tackles including the touchdown run on 4th, but I guess we have to remember that he really doesn't have much in game experience. I think we are all just thinking he should come in and dominate because he came from UFlorida.

Lyle was a freshman all-american, not sure where the no rb comparison comes from

Lyle's great. He was good for a frosh. He was small, went down easy, not what I'd call a seasoned runner. Do you think our backfield was a force in 2011?
 
We haven't had a good RB since Todman. Lyle isn't that good.
 
The biggest disappointment is that in year 3 theirs still no identity to this team. Who are we? This soft sad sack bunch on offense? If you can't put your stamp on a program in year 3 when can you! Only thing I can think of is Don Brown's aggressive style Defense. Now he's gone, who is Uconn under Coach P? Deer in headlights qb, turnover prone can't see over the o-line, excuses after excuses. If the qb can't see where he's going with the football get him out of the game. Another example of not putting the players in a position to win, which is his job. Wake UP!!!

You said they had no rb for 2011, 1100 yards goes against your statement. Lyle wasn't the reason they went 5-7. Seasoned runner for a freshman yeah, i would love if a freshman could gain 1100 yards a year. He was a force for this piss poor o-line and no qb, makes his performance even better in my eyes. He was the bright spot on Offense.

The OLine is in absolute shambles, and the OLine is what it all comes down to in football. Period.

If you don't believe me, look at the time of possession last night which was 36min to 24min in favor of the 1-AA team. We again failed to establish 100 yards on the ground, which at UConn, is sacrilege. GDL has had more than 2 years worth to try to implement his system. We all saw the results of that system last night. If Pasqualoni had ANY sense about him, he would immediately turn the OLine back over to Foley and give him this long rest period to try to fix what has been absolutely broken by GDL (a move that of course won't happen).

The last time we had a 1,000 yard rusher was the last time Foley was in charge of the OL, and he did it with a freshman version of Lyle McCombs. That's pretty much all that anyone needs to know about what is wrong...

Aren't you answering your own question here?
 
Yes, Randy Edsall built this program (at the D-1 Level). But he probably took it as far as he could - he never could recruit QB's, he never really could coach up a modern day passing attack, and he had limitations in his recruiting as evidenced by the lack of talent he left for PP on the offensive side of the ball. The tragedy though was following Randy up with PP. Just a terrible hire (and one I called back the day it was announced). That being said I agree wholeheartedly with the following excerpt

Internally i feared what I saw last night. A team, coaching staff, and fan base just going through the motions. There has never been less energy around our program. P has sucked the life out of this thing in unimaginable ways.

Time for PP to leave the program. Today, not at the end of the season. Today, LEAVE TODAY PAUL.

I'm with you man. I tried to be fair to Pasqualoni and give him the benefit of the doubt when everybody else saw the writing on the wall. Just awful. If they fired him today, you wouldn't hear one peep from me.

Welcome to reality. You got to admit you were fooled by a lot of PP B.S.

Eh not fooled. I just don't see much reason in carrying around pitchforks for stuff I can't control.
