What a joke.... talk about taking a step backward. Send him back to his "dream job" at Maryland and hire someone who #BleedsBlue

Michael Nebrich ‏@MikeNeebs12 3h 3 hours ago
As much as I disagree with the hire, I'll always #BleedBlue. Wish the players nothing but the best moving forward with this transition

Always like this kid

 

[shakes65]

Definitely an excitement on Twitter among many x-players. Nebrich who did not stay is the exception.
also excitement among fan base on Twitter. For me I am still skeptical he has the fire needed, but he certainly brings back all of my best football memories. And he was absolutely outstanding at the time of the Jasper Howard tragedy. I can more than live with talking about HCRE

Ouch

Is this our first disapproving former player?

Step backward? Is that like getting into a BCS program and then transferring to Fordham?

Dalton Gifford was tepid about it. It seems like the few who are indifferent weren't even avg. players while here.

 

[Skiblets]

Ouch

Nebrich's response is the outlier I'll take The responses from Dan O, Lutrus and Reggie over his all day everybday.

 

[FAIRTIDES]

Kill the noise. LOL

Is that a shot at the BD speech or those not happy with the hire.

Maybe, just maybe, he's talking about "noise" coming from this board.

Cheap shot. Kid came here despite other staffs telling him Edsall would bail on the program come January. The other staffs didn't lie to him. Randy did.

What comes from this board is more like "Gospel"

I'm certain there are many more just keeping it to themselves. Which is smart. I personally know of 2.

If we played Fordham this this rear they would of kicked our a$$es.

Scott Lutrus with Jon Wholley and 2 others.

Haven't been this excited about UConn football since running out of the tunnel in the Fiesta Bowl. Beyond excited to have Coach Edsall back in Storrs to restore the football program. Plenty of work to be done, but he's the right man for the job. Would love to see some of the old band get back together. Let's go huskies!

Didn't Dan O's dad say his son would run through fire for RE? Or something to that effect.

If someone could bring that back up, every future recruit should be required to do the same before signing their LOI... I kid of course. And ultimately, I'm sure Mr. Orlovsky was exaggerating. But the Best QB in programs history holds a ton of high praise for Edsall.

Yep DanO is a staunch supporter of Randy
Dan told me on Monday Edsall was going back
I wouldn't be surprised if Dan was in on the "search" for Edsall since they are pretty tight and have remained do as far as i know

 

[DAC17]

Maybe DO will come back as QB coach. Haha.

Bright future ahead of us. Couldn't be more excited to get back to school and back to work.

Kevin Murphy ‏@kMuRpHy54 · 4h4 hours ago
@markzdunek the success coach Edsall has had with putting players in the NFL is evident. I can't wait to get to work with him.

Kevin Murphy ‏@kMuRpHy54 · 4h4 hours ago
@markzdunek I had a great experience with coach Diaco and the rest of the staff. I learned a lot from them and wish them the best of luck!

Major disclaimer - this could be Diaco/Edsall related, could be something completely unrelated ...

I call BS on this. How would anyone know Edsall was leaving 6 months earlier? And who would have ever picked Uconn to go to a BCS bowl at the same time??

Really? You don't remember the email the kid put out that the BC staff sent to him after he committed to uconn?

I do, and they were spot on with what they told the kid.

It's pretty simple actually. When the team that Coach Fish Cakes is in charge of does not score a TD in 51 consecutive possessions it's time for a change. When thenRent looks like a morgue and we get blown out by the mighty Tulane Green Wave. At home. On senior day. It's time for a change. Hope this is helpful.

 

[Stainmaster]

He may still have some NFL years in him...let him continue on that path if that's what makes him happy. He knows there will be a spot for him here whenever he's ready.

Former Players Say Edsall's Return A Great Move For UConn

 

[HuskyBandDad]

So BC knew that uconn was going to the Fiesta Bowl and Edsall was going to leave right after? And BC knew this while recruiting him 6-12 months earlier ?? Really? And no I do not remember email.

Well it did happen.

The quote after he committed was, "what are you gonna do when that entire staff is gone come January?"
This is all I could find

The BC-UConn spat over negative recruiting

Then there is this. Yeah I don't blame this kid one bit.

U-Conn. recruit Michael Nebrich honors commitment to Huskies despite exit of coach Randy Edsall
