I prefer to be 2-1 and not have to fire him just yet, but if 0-3 he must go, and the Fire PP Day should "publicly" be Monday, Sept 23rd (let's have JC have his own day on 22) -- of course, hand the keys over to the interim coach on the evening of Sept 21.
Says the guy with over 4,000 posts. Last I checked this was a UConn message board and I don't think anything written on this board helps anything but allowing each person to vent or express their opinions in their own way. We're not changing the world here -- we're all just spewing crap and that's fun sometimes, right?
The only thing "scandalous" is the performance. That said, I agree. There would be little utility in firing midseason. The last best chance to make a change and statement was last week. Feel really bad for the players stuck with these clueless codgers.
I don't actually think that's the problem. I think there is something else going on. Actually a few somethings. First, I think they genuinely like the guy. I met him in a store fairly late at night and he couldn't have been nicer. I was killing time waiting to pick up someone at a meeting and saw him and asked about the team. He is a genuinely nice man. The second thing is he is a local guy and I really think that most reporters hoped he would succeed. There was a certain amount of pride in his success at Syracuse in the local sports media. I think some of that remains, too. Third, I do believe that some of them agree that our recruiting under Edsall was sub-par. So they bought his no talent argument. Whatever he was, Edsall was an excellent talent evaluator. But the local press wants stars just like the fans do.
