If Benedict does pick Edsall, he will need a very convincing explanation

[SubbaBub]

I just wanted to say that and not have it buried in one of the other 40 Edsall threads.

That's how we do this now, right?

Tallly his record a couple of years after the transition to 1 A. Throw in a BCS bid and over 20 players in the NFL. Then add his successful assistant coaches Orlando Moorehead Ambrose. Richardson. Mix in graduation rates. Home attendance. Two conference championships That win at notes Dame. The bowl win against South Carolina. Then. Compare that to the successes since he left. St. Petersburg bowl appearance. Nail biter against the. Maine black bears etc. think we might be able to fashion a good press releases imho

I'm gonna bet that the number of season ticket holders..those of us remaining who won't renew with the Edsall hiring will cancel out the number who sign on.

I would pay any amount to bring that back.

I challenge anyone to listen to that and tell me it does not bring back great memories. Great orchestra version, by the way.

You have a fixed amount of money and can bring back the block "C" or "O Fortuna". What do you do? I bring back the block "C".

For my money I bring back that good looking young lady who did interviews that almost got @John arrested for stalking.

 

[Skiblets]

You call Burton and bring them both back

He won't even need words, just point to a panorama of the Rent crowd vs Tulane. That would be good enough for me.

 

[hardcorehusky]

No better place than here, no better time than now!!

 

[Husky68]

He told me it was his dream job.

 

[upstater]

"It's great to be back at a place that is not my dream school!"

 

[SubbaBub]

I'm still having trouble balancing the nostalgia-itis with the seeming desperation required to go this route.

Let's Pro/Con a potential RE return, I'm trying to keep it more related to potential wins and losses, but if you want to throw in some of the atmospherics, go ahead.

Pro: We know he can build a competitive program from nothing, and we are scarily close to nothing right now as a program.

Con: That was a different era, we were in the P6 and the newness of it all covered a lot of warts.

Heard he is announcing it with an article posted to ADimeBack.com.

My response: then keep Diaco

One of the problems with the P hire that hasn't been mentioned enough is that his animosity with Edsall led him to think he had to move away from literally anything done here under Edsall. Instead of what would have happened with a coach who didn't have a past with Edsall, which was to build and improve upon what had been working and traditions that had been started.

 

[hjoerring]

Crazy as crazy can. Are we talking about the guy who got fired at Maryland (his dream job) because he couldn't win there with all the pipeline of local recruits? The guy who thinks he is a P5 coach and nothing below. Yes. Bring him back and in 3 years lock the door and bury the key to FB for good.

 

[Adios]

Benedict did mention selling more tickets. I highly doubt Edsall will increase the season ticket base much.
