Remember The Feeling???

[gopher2]

I had questioned if Edsall could take us to "the next level" as a FBS program constantly in the top 25 but in his last 4 seasons we won 8 games every year (9 in 2007), won 2 BE titles and we're going fringe top 25 team at times.

Maybe for UConn football there is no next level? Aside from Penn State and WVU has anyone else really done much in our region?

The one thing I would say about Edsall was he had a knack for identifying talent that the recruiting services seemed to miss on. Where as Diaco sees a kid with FCS offers who's a wrestler and he hands out offers like candy.

The last point about RE is you could likely bring him back cheaper than another name coach considering the big money he made at MD.

It won't happen but I don't think it's as outlandish as people think it is.

I always thought that being a perennial top 40 team would be the realistic ceiling for UConn football. On occasion we might break into the top 25 for a while as we did once (for a week I think) during Edsall's tenure.

Edsall got in players' faces when he had to and administered the necessary "coaching." The players learned from his coaching. I think a lot of people didn't care for the way he did this on national TV at times, but that was his style and it got results overall. He had an eye for raw talent, hired good assistants and developed players. I wish he had stayed. I'm not sure I would want him back though. Would he be the Edsall of old or has his tank run out of gas at this point?

Why do people think that the only way to achieve moderate success is to hire Edsall? There's literally NO ONE better out there that you'd STILL want him back despite his flaws? Just the most bizarre train of thought on the Yard right now.

It's just a step beyond desperate into pathetic territory. Those d@•n member berries, I tell ya...
