The offense is a joke, yes. The defense is a joke, yes. But to say you're expecting 2-10
is ridiculous. I agree there needs to be change. I would start with firing one of the coordinators. If they win less than 5 games, bob needs to go.

We're not winning 5 games

CT kids aren't the current issue, your 2-10 prediction was wrong, and Edsall coming back is such an enormously bad idea for all involved I don't know where to begin. Congrats on the bump though? :confused:

Anyone but Hilary. I mean Bob.

I don't get the hate that so many on this board have for recruiting CT kids. No, our whole team should not be kids from Connecticut. But some of our best players of all time are from here. If you can play you can play. I don't care if you're from China or Dallas.

Agree. Noel Thomas? CT kid. Our offense would have 5 total yards all season if it weren't for him. We have also put a few of these CT kids in the NFL with the latest going in the 1st round.

So many great names from CT that we ended up putting into the NFL. Trevardo, Donald Thomas, Orlovsky (obviously), Byron Jones, Marcus Easley, and there were at least a few that made it to NFL camps (Hurd, Lutrus, etc.).

But we don't have talent here at all...

Don't even get me started. The best thing I read tonight was someone saying that our CT coaches think they're Urban Meyer with 5* recruits. Go watch some of the good programs from CT and then go watch some of the top programs in the rest of the country. They aren't doing much different. We're a small state so we don't put out a bunch of recruits but there's a reason the CT kids we get perform well - they're coached well. There was a recruiting guy from rivals that said it pretty well. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something to the effect that Connecticut doesn't have the best talent he covers but the coaching and schemes were among the best for the area he covers. That means if you can find a guy like a Scott Lutrus who doesn't have a ton of offers because he doesn't go to camps, he's going to be able to come in and compete from day 1.
 
Said it many times before: while it's true "stars" don't guarantee the talent of a player once they get to college, what really matters is who UConn is recruiting against. If the Huskies are touting the recruitment of a player that had offers from Albany, Stony Brook and Maine, then they are screwed. They need to be beating out - or at least more frequently beating out - the Virginia's, the North Carolina's, the Rutgers, the Syracuse's and other P5, non top 25 schools. The old saying, "you are judged by the company you keep" has some parallel here . . . if bigger time programs don't want the kids UConn ends up with, then what does that say about the Huskies talent level to compete at this level.

Stars don't matter! It's about RKGs!

Remember that one guy that didn't have a high star rating that played here during 4-3 Big East seasons and became a marginal NFL player! That's what's telling !
