If Edsall gets fired, who's on short list of potential HC?

Field Hockey is 10-2 and ranked 4th in the nation currently. But otherwise, yes, looks like the soccer teams are middling, mens even struggling a bit.

CCSU you don’t have to look so smug.

Field Hockey is still great. They lost 2 games on the road to top 10 teams and have beaten several ranked teams. Women's Soccer started going down hill over 10 years ago. The head coach simply failed to keep it as one of the top programs on his way to retirement. AD Dave's hiring of his assistant was a white flag on that program. Men's soccer seems to have had a dramatic drop off corresponding to leaving the Big East for the AAC in recent years. All the men's hockey addicts assure me Cavanaugh always is a year or 2 away. I stopped buying that when they allowed a goal in the final seconds of a period for the 86th time. Women's Lacrosse went 2-14 last year. Recent struggles of football and men's hoop well documented with the hope Hurley is the answer for the basketball. There is no good answers for football.

But yeah it is noticeable to those that choose to notice it.
 
Seems the Athletic Department is allowing do nothing coaches to continue on with their do nothing. UConn was once the proud owner of excellent revenue and non revenue sports. Now no one seems to care. Maybe it needs a shakedown of all sports, except mbb, with a group firing, including the Ad Benedict on down. Just clear them all out, even the useless bloated administers. How many hand holders do we need. I am so disgusted by it all.
 
Let's think of the positives for a prospective coach:
  1. Division 1 football program, from a state flagship university, with a history of success
  2. Name recognition (primarily from other sports, but still)
  3. Located near NYC, Boston, and Hartford/New Haven markets and an international airport
  4. Great on-campus facilities
  5. Fan base that loves a winner and will come back if winning returns
A closer can sell this package to a new coach. No coffee for AD Dave until he closes!
 
I still say reach out to the CCSU coach and gage his level of interest. We could get him on the relative cheap and have some money for coordinators.

Didn't Central CT lose to Eastern Michigan? Why do we want Central's coach as the UConn coach?

The current head coach at CCSU McCarthy is coaching this season with an interim tag. Former HC Pete Rossamondo is OL coach at Rutgers.

Team is 5-1 lost to EMU on a blocked punt returned for TD with 10 sec left.

Should win out and finish 11-1 atop NEC. Which isn't saying much of anything. That's a terrible conference.
 
No more on the cheap, please. Sell veggies @roadside stand. Sell off some property. I don’t know where to get the money! We have supposedly well educated professors at the school of finance put them to work. Figure it out. No more on the cheap. But be smart no more Disco or PP @nd no more reruns.

The $17mm to get back to the Big East seems pretty easy to come by.

AD Dave is a white flag bearer, no pride in the school’s gifted athletes! No sehors’s male parts! He has got to got to. If he hadn’t offered Disco a new contract then had to fire him we wouldn’t be In This bind.

Not true, PP and Diaco made good money and set fire to the place. Even the 1 million Edsall is getting is much more than most coaches in the MAC and most of those teams would whip us.

The down slide of football has nothing to do with the soccer teams
Both programs flourished when football was not a big draw
It's the schedule and more particularly the AAC- terrible soccer conference
The OBE and the NBE is much better and it will help recruitment
The Field Hockey, both ice hockey and baseball are doing just fine during recent years
How many NCs has the field hockey team won recently?????

A long time "insider" has told me repeatedly that Cavanaugh will be a star.......not so sure.

I would take the job for 200k, since that would be a significant pay raise for me! The left over money would go to make sure that we paid our coordinators an average FBS salary. Not kidding.

And I would also wear short sleeves during cold games. Just sayin'...

Are you fat enough to wear short sleeves in cold weather?
