I still feel the same way about Randy as I did when he left. Yes, he should have flown home with the team. Outside of that, he's a good coach but was certainly replaceable. The fact that we did a +y job replacing him changes nothing.

I think he's a great option as a non-P5 coach for someone.
 
I must respond here as I have personal experience with Randy Edsall I felt with him for five long years and went through several vattles with him over my sons career I won some and lost some that being said I think he was what uconn needed and we all must admit he did a great job
I do think the players loved him however when it came to the person of randy Edsall randy cared only about randy and his players mor so Randy
I had several run in s with him and frankly won some lost some
I think for the most part he had Dan s best internet at heart however when Dan became a bigger name than re it was a problem
I do wish him well

My guess is that Dan would run through a wall for Randy.
 
ESPN just reported it over the airways. He'll land on his feet

Decision that Randy Edsall will be out has been made, as InsideMDSports and Yahoo! also reported earlier. Discussions now about how/when.

That will never happen. We have the capacity to build this program to great heights. And we will be just fine in conference realignment when all the dust settles.
But that's not the point, the point is I'd rather be backing this UConn Husky Football program than any other. It's got the most upside from every perspective: fan support, on-field success, stadium upgrades, recruiting, TV exposure, and P-5 conference value. We're on the road to glory. And it's just been repaved.

Post again. A little more clarity would be appreciated.

He did great things here
He left like a true coward
Happy to see him humbled a bit
Will always love him for building our program

He ends up in the NFL as a position coach before returning to the college game.

Or...he shocks the world, his guys rally around him, and he beats Ohio St. Can't fire him after that.

Not certain what u need to speculate on but I will clarify if u could not understand
Randy was good for the program
I had many run ins with randy as did other parents of the same era
Randy s players loved him and yes they would run through a wall for him
I believe randy was first and foremost for randy
I believe he threw players under the bus to protect himself
When players became the face of the program over Randy we became more difficult to deal with

I hope this puts an end to your speculation if not then ...,.
 
Thank you sir, speculate was probably the wrong word. You made it very clear.

FHCRE was very good for UConn and was the right coach for the time. Did his leaving the way he did leave a bad taste in people's mouths, yes, but he did a good job here.
I wish him nothing but the best no matter where he ends up as he is a class act in many ways.

I agree....

It was harsh, but still less harsh than Brian Kelly or Rich Rodriguez bailing before their team's BCS bowl game.

I can never understand how coaches do that. I'm a teacher for christ sakes and when I took a new job I had to give my old job the first 30 days of the school year before I could start my new job.

You want to freak out? There is a better than insignificant chance that RE is a candidate to replace Disco if he leaves in the next couple years.

He'd be a better candidate than the random assistant we'd otherwise get. I think everyone would sign up for the 2007-2010 version of the huskies right now, even if a tougher schedule cost one or two wins per year.

Yikes! Thanks but no thanks. That would be a complete program capitulation.

Randy was good for the program during its start up years. He needs to get kudos for that. But I felt he had taken the program about as far as he could take it. It was time for his ride on the pony to end. We needed a more dynamic coach. One who could recruit better and had a better offensive and defensive scheme. So I was not at all unhappy that he left. For me it was all about his poor choice of sneaking out the back door.

Our problems did not begin with him leaving but with our AD's choice for our head coach (who name shall go unmentioned) . With the right coach at that time we should have and could have continued to climb. But.......

I wonder who "Dan" could be. Didn't we have some kid named Dan who played QB in the NFL? Or am I dreaming?

And became a bigger local name than HCRE? That's a toughie!

Not that many ways. When he had to come back to UConn hat-in-hand after failing to land the Georgia Tech job he said would be the UConn coach "for as long as you'll have me." And promptly went back to looking for his dream job. He is just too self-obsessed and full of crap to be called a class act.
 
interesting reading the thread. Edsall is a good guy with a genuine interest in the kids but the one thing that continues to stick out is those who out shine him get reduced. he loves the kid with no scholarship offers, someone he can mold, but in my opinion did or has done very little for the elite players and helped them rise to new heights. Also, Edsall is stepping on himself. As time as gone by, he's done more to alienate his fan base than invite and then you lose by 20+ weekly, but his tone never changes. It's always about the kids poor technique but never about the poor schemes. This 5 year marriage could not end soon enough.
