Record setting defense

[noeynox]

605 points given up in 12 games. Takes a lot of effort to accomplish that.

Or lack of effort.

Take a bow Randy Edsall. You have made me long for the days of Pasquoloni and Diaco.

I had the same thought and I wanted to stab myself.

Not about Diaco, because I'm not completely insane, but definitely for Pasqualoni and his ability to get good recruits to find a way to end seasons with a 5-7 record...

 

[noeynox]

Nobody cares enough for him to face any consequences.

You know guys like Orlovsky were real vocal about results under Diaco. Now the silence from those guys is deafening. This is the worst we ever witnessed.

 

[noeynox]

You would think he would just retire at this point and duck out of here but that would take someone who actually cares and holds themself accountable which Randy has never done.

You crazy? Who else is gonna give his kid a job on an fbs staff?

 

[TouchdownHusky]

I was not a fan of Edsall first time through. Yes, he got the program up and running, but he was too conservative and not a really good recruiter. I did't count on UConn making stupid choices for his successors (speaking of conservative). I was absolutely opposed to Randy 2.0, but I have been patient like so many other fans. Unfortunarely, without Lashee, the offense was one dimensional and he is still too conservative (if nothing else, running the "small hands offense" should have earned him a suspension for a few games). So, the clock is now ticking Randy, and FWIW, quite a few posters here on the BY could have coached these Huskies to a 1-11 record.

At some point, I think we have to admit that excuses, long term plans and positive thinking are just means of delaying the acknowledgement of reality. We have seen with basketball at our own school, that there can be short term signs of improvement with a new coach. HCRE continues to talk about long term plans, however, we are seeing short term disintegration. I wish the AD would respond to emails. David Benedict has ignored 3 emails over the past 2 seasons. Not even a boilerplate response to alumni and former student athlete...

Fire Edsall and pony up. We can afford a better coach, fill up the stadium, and get moving in the right direction.

 

[noeynox]

Next year, when the defense improves, the offense regresses, Edsall will point to the improvements on defense while we're still getting blown out as proof things are working. This seems like a ten year plan then he will try to hand off the job to Cory and warn people about what happened the last time they went outside the family.

#Restorred lol. Bring back the awesome tradition of the feared Block C.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I don't think Edsall is the guy for the job and I was all-in on RE2.0

God forbid we actually spend some money on a football staff and bring in someone who doesn't have a 5 year plan to get back to 6 wins.

This team was going to be terrible no matter what, but I still don't buy that it had to be the worse defensive team in the history of college football.

I really question the defensive coaching ability of the linebacker and DB coaches. I get they were young, but the tackling attempts more resembled tickling attempts.

I mean, you really have to let it sink in to appreciate the futility of what we saw this season.

The worst defense in the HISTORY of college football.

I don't think it's possible to overstate just how pathetic this was.

Part of me thinks the administration is content/happy with this product, so when they pull the plug there's less resistance and outcry.

Lmao, more like #REScorred....When they only allow 40ppg next year. Edsall will tell everyone how the defense has improved.

The majesty of the 2010 PapaJohn's.com Bowl Champions, remembered throughout college football

Can we see if Wacky Bob would come back as the DC? I mean, it can’t be worse then this. Can it?

 

[uconnphil2016]

We may have given up the most points in FBS history, but we now wear a C on our helmets and get to hear lectures about Alfred Finches and the 2008 Huskies every week. Great.

We should do this and make it a reality tv show like hard knocks to make up lost revenue from realignment. Make randy agree to it or leave

Wacky Bob found a way to give up 40 points and 440 yards per game with Nebraska's talent. IT CAN get worse...

Still better then 50 points and 600 yards per game.

 

[UConnDan97]

Let's not risk it...

 

[kris1]

The sad part is this isn’t even rock bottom yet. The offense is sure to take a step back next year and the defense isn’t going to magically get faster.

 

[Exit 4]

Everything points to one more season of Edsall.

 

[The Viking]

Do you need to fire a guy who hasn’t even signed a contract?

What makes you think there is any money?

 

[zls44]

Wait- are there some of you who honestly expect Edsall to be fired at any time before the end of next year?

It literally can't get worse.
