HCRE 2.0 Presser Thread (with Link to Watch)

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.
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.

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

And it's on all the national news feeds as well.
 
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.
 
Was his name Bob? He might not understand how these things work.

Anyone who boasts on an anonymous message board about being self actualized isn't even in that neighborhood. Onto Ignore for you. Waste of time
Again, I only said I was closer than you. In response to a personal attack.
 
As long as it doesn't entail deliberately tanking his entire first season in order to evaluate personnel, I'll trust that DandyRandy has a viable and sane plan in mind to turn this train wreck around.
I forget what year, but do you recall the UConn versus NAVY game where the huskies played / executed poorly, and he made the entire team at the end of the game listen to the NAVY band and stare at the final score? He hates losing but losing because you execute poorly ...in my view of his world...he deems this beyond unacceptable. This and this alone is why he defines respect. ...and he learned that he too has had to learn about being consistent and not hypocritical with the character he wants in his players and that which needs to be in him. I hated that coach Randy Edsell left but always blamed Hathaway for why Randy left. I have given each coach at UConn my support when they start but he will be the first coach where my confidence is high for expectations of winning.
 
Finally just watched it...I had flash backs to how he coached through that JH year. His comments after the ND game. While I still wonder about the MD dream job comments, I really do think RE has a personal connection to UConn. There aren't a lot of coaches that have that with a school...lets hope he is our Bill Snyder.

Cheering & fist-pumping when the kicker for the other team misses a FG but is still leading 27-3 in the 3rd quarter and your offense has more 3 & outs than it has passing yards.
Wait, this actually happened?!
 
Gotta tell ya, I'm not there yet. Hopefully, I'll be closer in Mid-April and a little more close the night of August 31, I need to see the product in action against FBS opponents...and a few times over.

I can't believe all the accolades and optimism because of a speech/press conference. Lets see who his staff is ( are we going to pay more for staff than in the past?) and if he can get any quality recruits at this late date. A lot of comments on this board actually remind me of Diaco. Lots of enthusiasm with little basis for it.

Tradition, and win or lose, respect typically exhibited by opponents of each of the military academies.

Great presser. Get on board. The guy won here before and he'll probably do it again. Don't be a pansy.

Bill Snyder is a good comparison. Maybe some things were just meant to be.

So 2 Big East titles, a Fiesta Bowl appearance 5 bowl games and many NFL players from this same University is little basis for it?

Got it. :rolleyes:
