[U][I]I think it’s safe to say the Edsall 2.0 years didn’t help us. We were an embarrassment. The football minds in the larger conferences remember those years and cringe.[/I][/U]

Correct. Edsall 2.0 was a disaster. I remember after Diaco got fired I was thinking "wow our AD is serious about football success" and thought he ain't messing around. Initially I thought he was going keep Diaco and give the speech about believing in Diaco and that we should be patient. I was excited and waiting with anticipation of the next coach they hired. When I saw Edsall was announced later on weekday morning, I was like a balloon that got deflated-the hire was so underwhelming.

As a good friend of mine from Texas who is a fan of Texas sports teams said about UConn in 2013 in the conference realignment news, "it's not UConn basketball that needs to be sold, their basketball sells itself. [B]It's their football that needs to be sold.[/B]"
