Poll: Happy with Edsall?

[BugsyCT]

Can't imagine Edsall would bolt for any "dream job" again - his stock went down after Maryland. If he can replicate a semblance of his Big East success he may be here for a while.

When he was here during the 2000s it seemed every season during the coaching carousel Esdall's name would pop up as a potential candidate for somewhere. Then the board would debate whether or not he'd reached his peak here and should move on. The fact that he finally left for a P5 gig was no surprise. And if you just can't get over the way he bailed after the Fiesta Bowl, then I don't know what to tell ya. Coaches have done a lot worse.

I'm just ok with this hire for now, I'll be more jacked as the year moves on. As far as RE reaching his ceiling on his first go round, I'm not comepletely buying that. The only component he was missing after Dan O, was a Dan O. If he had a Dan or a Pat White caliber in his last years here, I feel those teams would have been really impressive. Now I know thats a big if, and it is easier said than done. If he is able to duplicate the teams he had and put their best recruiter on a top notch under the radar qb, we all will be singing high praise.

Not that it really matters at this point, but I'm really curious as to how this deal all went down... Like, who contacted who? Did Benedict straight up call Edsall and ask him if he was interested in coming back here? Was it more of an open ongoing conversation between Randy and donors and higher ups- like Larry McHugh, etc. here on "if things were to even change here, would you be interested?"

Just interesting how this all happened... again.
