I can just picture Edsall this last week at UConn:
The students/players are gone on break, and he doesn't have a coaching staff yet. I just picture him all alone in this huge facility that he practically designed and built, but hadn't been inside of in 6 years. All by himself wondering "what the hell happened to this place?"
He probably spent the entire week in his old "dirty-work clothes" fixing up the house from the evicted tenants of past and bringing it back up to respectability. It probably took a full day of scrapping and scrubbing to get all of the dried and rotting reminance of fish cakes off of the cafeteria tables from Diaco. And I am sure it took 3 days to scrap off all of the 1970s wallpaper of offensive plays on the wall of the offensive coordinator office left by GDL.
Can't you just picture him this past week all alone in that huge facility?!
