I hate to jump in to the fray, but I do dare you to name ONE other coach that left the way Randy did. I was a big fan while he was here, but I have never seen a more classless, clueless, thoughtless exit in my life. He took a bad process to dizzying new lows.

Edsall's situation was somewhat unique because he stayed and wouldn't talk about leaving until the Bowl game. Unlike most of the scumbags in this sport, who at the first whiff of more money would be gone without worrying about the team trying to complete its season. See, e.g., Kelley, Brian. That created the timing pressure that Maryland felt it was under and imposed on him.

Had Edsall left the way he did in early December of that year, I'm with you. But the situation that so pisses many of you off was created because he refused to abandon his team for personal wealth until after it had comleted its season.
 
Mike Nebrich is doing really well at Fordham in the offense that his head coach, and offensive coaches have put in place. He's earned himself the potential to play in the NFL, and Moorhead is well along in bringing a winning tradition back to the college football program that produced Vince Lombardi. I'm happy to see their success. I'm happy to see college football in New York City become popular again.

Well Kiffin at Tennessee was probably worse.

No it wasn't, Kiffin talked to his team before reading his departure statement on the UT campus and notified the UT AD and president before that. He did it right, Edsall snuck out the back door.

I think you are leaving out key parts of how he left. Like not talking to the team and not flying back with them (after he told Todman that he had to tell the team he was leaving). And.....it might have been better if he left in December...who knows how much he was focused on the bowl game. Maybe a coordinator could have had the team better prepared.

But...while I do think he could have handled his exit better...I am still an Edsall fan and appreciate everything he did for the program.

He could have taken the team plane to Storrs, had a private team meeting explaining things and wishing his players well and then left quietly, instead he said great game guys we'll gettem next year stuff, oh btw I'm taking a later flight. He then flew straight to DC and his players heard it on the news. What he did stunk. To call it unique is a gross understatement.

I too am still an Edsall fan for what he did for the program and the school, and I know why he left also, and do not blame him for that either, but the way he did it was just terrible.

Thanks for the revisionist history lesson, Mrs. Edsall. He left a team on the tarmac, including his staff. He said nothing to them, leaving them to learn it about it through the media. Is it possible he stayed because he knew he'd never again get a whiff of 3 letters --- BCS? He could have left before the game (see e.g., Kelley, Brian) or a day or 2 after. But you're probably right, I am guessing UMd said, "be here by noon tomorrow, or we move on to e.g., Leach, Mike." Most institutions make major hiring decisions that way - ask Chappy.

I just said on another piece how I hate looking backward, so I'll move on and return you and Spackler to the mindnumbingly idiotic conversation I so rudely interrupted.
 
Puppy4 - I hope that #27 gets back on the field soon, if not mistaken it's been longer than expected. Haven't seen anything on him in a month. I hope he completes his degree and is doing well off the field. Sincerely. When I'm sitting in the stands in December seeing the seniors off, hopefully not alone, but maybe so unless things change the second half of our season - he'll be among those that I'll be thinking of the good memories.

You are ignoring the rest of the stuff he did going out the door.

It's an odd obsession 4 years later. Nothing in the world changes if he tells the team personally. Unless you are one of the guys on the team why would you care anymore?

Which Big 12 coach accepted a job at dinner with recruits went to the bathroom and never came back?

Edsall did a magnificent job of building a College Football Program - from scratch (trailers). I'm going to vehemently disagree with any opinion that doesn't begin there. Subtle & specific criticism is appropriate. There was plenty to make you feel somewhat dyspeptic.

It's a far different job to take a solid tradition earned program to regular top. 25. He's trying that now - Jury's out.

We came from trailers! Drink!

My reading comprehension is fine. Edsall did not leave behind a mess. Edsall left behind a roster of mentally tough kids coming off a conference championship. There was no mess until P was hired and, for three years, lost too many of Edsall's kids, didn't physically build up and teach up the ones who stayed and didn't keep the talent level up in his 2.5 recruiting seasons.
Expand ...

I can't even begin to conjure up a coherent argument that links this mess to Edsall. This is on Pasqualoni, who picked up where he left off at Syracuse and coached like it was 1994.
 
Kiffin's wife has spent the day trolling the people of Tennessee on Twitter. Yeah, Edsall was way worse...
 
BL - Carl has made the detailed point about HCRE's OL recruiting many times. Either you agree with that or you don't. That has been his main gripe. I don't recall Carl complaining about much else from the HCRE era.

As to all of the other nonsense, if HCRE did not have a signed contract he would have been out of his mind to tell the team anything while in the middle of negotiating. Hate him for it all you want. But when there is that kind of a deal on the line you talk one way until the ink is on the paper. You have no choice but to lie through your teeth.
 
Edsall did a great job here. PP did not. Can't handle the arguments between two of Boneyard's best posters.

I was disgusted by Edsall's handling of his departure in light of how he made Jordan Todman stand up before the team. He left like a slinky: spineless! Totally changes my impression of him as a person. And I was so proud of his efforts after Jasper's death.

Didn't Todd Graham tell his players via text? And after only one year? I'd call that worse.

Could have brought more than one of his asst. coaches with him. That was puzzling.
