HCRE 2.0 Presser Thread (with Link to Watch)

[ShakyTheMohel]

Replay is up. It starts at the 5 minute mark.

Ok..I am sure it is user error...I can't find the full presser? On huskvision I only see a 55 second version? Can someone provide a link?

He did say the game has more passing and more spread formations and then threw in the comment about still needing blocking, assignments, etc.

That seemed like an unintended rip at the prior HC's competence.

You forgot #6 - lack of special teams

6. Made up trophy games.

7. Taking a knee at the 40 yard line down 10 with 30 seconds till halftime because you are afraid to throw a 6 yard out pattern and kick a FG

8. Going for it on 4th and 12 from the 13 down 7-0 in the 2nd quarter.

#9 - lack of special teams.

Being Athletic Director Dave and RE, there were at least a dozen rips at FHCBD.

Just looking at this now HCRE did a pretty nice job, not slick but sincere.

It's a new day.

I think we've had enough slick!

Exactly.

BTW, nice avatar.

You are wrong, fiasco made me cry all the time.

HAHHA... classic.

I thought that Edsall's remarks about meeting NFL players who he coached, or were here under PP/Diaco (like Byron Jones) reminded me how nasty we USED to be, and how far we've fallen. He was right, it really goes to show you how great of a program Randy and the staff all those years built up and how in just a matter of 6 years Paul Pasquloni/Jeff Hathaway and then Bobby Diaco were able to tear it all down. Granted conference re-alignment hasn't helped, but...

 

[Doggie Style]

That skit was hysterical!!

 

[Chin Diesel]

There were no written or prepared words in that press conference by Randy. He spoke from the heart with genuine sincerity. I can't wait until this program returns to winning the UConn football way. Go Huskies!!!

I'm not going back to re-watch but I thought I saw some paper's being flipped on the podium. Could have been with Athletic Director Dave was talking.

 

[Doggie Style]

Only 1 language spoken.

Nice to be able to understand the content without needing a decoder ring....

Edsall tears up again talking about seeing the Jasper Howard statue (the second video):

Randy Edsall Excited to Return as UConn Head Football Coach

Edsall's hands were on either side of the podium or in his pockets. He never looked down from what I witnessed. Benedict was flipping papers. Edsall surely was not. But someone correct me if I am wrong. Just with the ums and hesitations, didn't seem to me like a guy that had anything prepared regardless. He has a connection to this program from a leadership stand point unlike any other. I still remember the day I woke up and heard of Jasper's passing. I shed tears. Not gonna lie. He had that team closer than anything the rest of the way. Even before and after. We have seen nothing even remotely close to the job he did here.

 

[Skiblets]

I'm sure he prepared but did not have any papers. Spoke from the heart

 

[Redding Husky]

I don't know how much we're going to win, but I don't think we'll be embarrassed with Edsall. He's solid.

 

[BNich]

At the very least, whether the majority likes or dislikes the rehire of Edsall, the people of Connecticut are talking about UConn football again.

 

[Skiblets]

Diaco talked about love for this program. If you were in the room today you wouldve felt it from Randy. Big. Freakin. Difference

And it's on all the national news feeds as well.

Nah. You touchy-feely guys are projecting.

You must lead a lonely existence. Sorry your life isn't turning out the way you planned. Good news is that there's still time. Best of luck.

Are you kidding? I bet I'm closer to self-actualization than you and most people.
