If you took him as I did... iffy gameday coach, great talent evaluator, then you knew he was cooked no matter where he went because they wanted improvements right away with no backwards steps. It hurt more that over the time the game also passed him by. Edsall had so much at UConn but like all people he got an ego thinking he was better than what he was getting. Hathaway harmed the school so bad by his inactivity around the school. So i'm sure Edsall wanted to get out while the price was good.Edsall was never the same after he left in 2011. I like to think it was karma for the way he left, but it could also be that he couldn't live up the expectations/pressure at Maryland and the second stint at UConn.
