O’Neil Robinson Tweet...

I can't see Edsall saying this. Not sure why everyone jumps and assumes it was him. He was very complimentary of Robinson last year. One of the few aggressive tacklers on the defense. If I had to guess, I'd say Spanos. Unfamiliar with Robinson and has spent lots of time in the NFL where you can talk to grown men this way.
 
I don’t give a crap about fans. If you think that denigrating the program to PSAs is a necessary part of the bottoming-our process, who am I to argue with such a superior intellect?

Seems to me your complaint is with Robinson and not Drew...

Are we supposed to ignore what Robinson said?
 
Knowing how little facts matter anymore

did HCRE say that to OR?
what was the rationale?
was it a public statement or a private conversation?

Maybe before we ask the President to fire the AD and the HC, might we have something more than a social media posting from a teenager that has no context, including whether it was even about him, personally. Just a thought.

I turn it back now to the lynch mob

Bro. I run a twitter account about UConn football for fun. If you want to follow someone that does nothing but gas up the program then follow Schivonsky. Otherwise stop acting like my 1600 follower twitter is the determining factor for kids choosing their college

C'mon Drew, you know ;)
 
If based on last year's play, they don't belong here. jussayin'

Don't you mess with that Seton Hill pipeline!

When graduates are asked to rank their best teacher almost no one says the cream puff was as important, influential and memorable as the one who drove them to be better.
 
I thought Robinson wasn't participating in spring practice due to an injury? Regardless, poor choice putting this out on social media. Even with context, it won't look good.

Sniff, sniff ... did I smell a humble brag in this post? ;)

The comment was directed towards Hahn not Robinson which im fine with.

Is this speculation or inside knowledge? Given Omelly’s deletion and follow up post it does make some sense.
 
Is the above the "tweet" in its entirety? How thin skinned are we allowing our youth to become? The coach's rebuke rates about a three on the insult-o-meter. Pretty tame, really.
 
Guys, I don't think you all realize the kind of influence @Drew UConn Football Facts has on the football industry. A simple CTRL + F found plenty of mentions in the NFL Combine Interview transcripts.

Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma.

Why did you choose Oklahoma?

"I looked at two schools, Oklahoma and UConn. To be honest, I was going to go to UConn but I read on twitter that UConn Facts said their defense might struggle. That was enough for me. I have no idea if their defense struggled or not, but I took that tweet very seriously."

They did more than struggle. UConn had the worst defense in the history of the sport. Did you send this UConn Fun Facts handle a thank you card?

Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State.

What was the key factor in your college decision?

"Well, I really wanted to play for a big name coach in college. Being from New Jersey, I naturally crossed Rutgers off my list. Urban Meyer wanted me but the coach I really wanted to play for was Randy Edsall up at Connecticut. I'm a conservative guy and wanted to play for a coach who punts on 4th-and-inches on the opponent's side of the field."

Why didn't you go to UConn?

"I read something on Twitter. I forget who it was. Something like UConn Football Fun Facts. Anyway, he said Coach Edsall once went for it on 4th down on his own 22 yard line. Immediately picked up the phone to commit to Urban Meyer before he could fake another heart attack."

Bill Belichick, Head Coach, New England Patriots.

Coach, what do you look for in a player here at the Combine?

"We need to execute better. Continue to get better. If the player executes well, I like him. Oh, and if they follow UConn Football Facts twitter page."

ESPN Headquarters.

Why do you guys televise the same old teams and the same old conferences over and over again?

"Honestly, we wanted to launch UConn Network back in December 2018 but UConn Football Facts alerted us that attendance is down there. So instead we decided to give the SEC another $100 Billion."

Donald J Trump, POTUS.

Why did you decide to run for President?

"The people at UConn love me. They love me, they really do. They're good people. Great people! I got a tweet from a UConn fan to run so I thought I had to. Never occurred to me before that. Sad! UConn Football Fake News. Great account. Great!"
 
Gee, somebody got their feelings hurt, possibly in front of some of his peers.... BOO HOO!!:( How about manning up, work harder, get better and start playing like a Div 1 athlete for a change. After all that's what you got the scholarship for in the first place. Turn that chewing you got in early March into legitimate praise in October. My God, you give a kid a stern look these days and they run sniveling to their preferred communication device to cry about it. I wonder how many kids at Alabama get scolded and then run to whine about it on Twitter(and then probably get a wet towel party the next day).

Okay Mr. UConn Promoter, this isn’t a good take.

I absolutely cannot fathom why none of you see any issue with this. Did 1-11 numb everyone’s grey matter?

This team is weak. Mentally and physically.

If those words hurt someones feelings they are most likely better off at a D2 or D3 school.

Its obvious they are words to motivate from an older coach - most likely. Not everyone is motivated the same way. There are other opportunities in life - moving from job to job is acceptable when not happy with mgmt so should moving from program to program. No one has 100% return rates of players.

Of course, he could be referring to what he heard from a player on the UConn womens team.
