New Coach Announced at Noon Today (Press Conf. Friday @ 11 @Rent FREE & OPEN TO PUBLIC)

Terms of deal (sorry if duplicate)

 

[Exit 4]

I'm too lazy to look, but I imagine Randy will still get a little cheese from his Maryland contract which surely was for more per annum.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

He's gonna earn $1 Million per with add'l bonuses based on performance... At least he's affordable...

And hopefully that was done in order to get an increased pool for assistants.

 

[J187Money]

There has to be a way to incorporate the dog and the block C.

 

[Exit 4]

Terms of deal (sorry if duplicate)

A price that fit our budget. That is reality.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Well, if these terms of the contract are true, Benedict is a hell of a contract negotiator.

 

[weyuo]

Will Des Conner be there with Pom Poms and body paint?

Will there be a rebuttal afterwards like there is after the state of the union from the opposite party? Who is the rebuttal from? Hathaway? Fairfield County high coaches? Media? Half the Boneyard?

The rebuttal will be in the form of 5-10K fans in the seats 15 minutes after each home game starts.

 

[Husky92]

My 73 year old father thinks this is an awesome hire!

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

$0 buy out after 3 years

For UConn? For HCRE? Or for both?

 

[Nostical]

There has to be a way to incorporate the dog and the block C.

The new dog is staying. The rest is up for discussion.

 

[#1 PA Husky Fan]

Leaves a lot of available money to bring in some quality assistants. Maybe we get some sizzle with the coaching hires.

 

[weyuo]

Welcome back! I remember when going to the Rent meant we were probably going to win a football game. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

Yeah and Edsall won them less than half the time. Nice choice Benedict.

 

[sdhusky]

A

A price that fit our budget. That is reality.

And shows he is here because he wants it.

 

[sdhusky]

Yeah and Edsall won them less than half the time. Nice choice Benedict.

HCRE home record was pretty damn good his last 4 or 5 years

 

[thatguyed]

Could he be working with a big (ish) time OC or DC making more $$$ than he does?

 

[storrsroars]

A price that fit our budget. That is reality.

I'm used to this. I'm a Pirates fan.

Official Release: Randy Edsall To Lead Football Program

 

[storrsroars]

Could he be working with a big (ish) time OC or DC making more $$$ than he does?

I don't think one needs to be >$1 mill to be a good OC. Matt Canada was under $800K for Pitt, which, you recall is a P5.

 

[weyuo]

On the bright side, maybe Moorhead or Orlando said they were already committed for this upcoming season but talk to them again next fall. We may get lucky and only have to deal with Randy for one season. Then the team could leave him at his last away game and fly home(just deserts).

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

So there is a chance that Diaco will be making more money from UConn over the next 3 years ($3.5MM) than HCRE ($3MM)?

 

[The Viking]

The 3 year $0 buyout affords DB one more hire before the next conf realignment starts in 2023 or 2024.
I'm not saying UConn is going to the B1g, but whatever happens we want to be on an uptick...whether that be through Edsall or someone else.
DB will not be in a position of weakness again (the 3.4 m buyout)

I'm legit so fired up about this!!! #UConnFootball

 

[FillTheRent]

Yeah and Edsall won them less than half the time. Nice choice Benedict.

Maybe you should check your facts. Edsall was 39-12 at the Rent during his time here. Including going 7-0 at home in 2007 and 6-0 at home in 2010.

Why let facts get in the way of an emotional rant?
