Sally Jenkins hit piece on Edsall

[freescooter]

Glad to see her Master's Degree in Copy + Paste amounted to something.

I thought that was a law school class.

I wonder if Sally still thinks that Lance Armstrong is innocent.

 

[freescooter]

Basically the Wapo and to a lesser degree Baltimore press corp hated Edsall because he wasn't like Fridgen. This is just a chance to take another shot by one of the folks he antagonized.

Bad news is better than no news.

I'm okay with UConn wearing a black hat for a bit and doing a heel turn.

More media in three days than the team got all last season on the national wire.

Amen. To be a serious player, you're going to ruffle some feathers.

We're in a world where OU buys a home for Marcus Dupree's mother and Texas A&M buys a Pontiac Trans Am for Eric Dickerson. If anyone thinks those days are gone, ask Cam Newton's father.

When I google "pulls scholarship" and get through all the recent stories about UConn and Edsall I find many examples of the same exact thing happening at UCLA, Miss St., Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, Texas St., UTEP, Tennessee, Louisville, and believe it or not, Maryland under Durkin who was Edsall's replacement. Look up the story of Alex Hall who was a Maryland commit until Durkin pulled his scholarship. Hall ended up at Fordham. I wonder if Sally wrote a story about Alex Hall's scholly being yanked.

Edsall is a scumbag, we all knew that before we hired him again, this should not be surprising to anyone. I do think he should get his act together if we wants recruits to have any trust in him honoring his word.

I am sure recruits will overlook his past success at getting players into the NFL...

Well I hope they overlook his lack of success of getting players to the NFL while he was at Maryland

But what was his tone in pulling it? It's the tone that matters.

Because his Maryland tenure is his entire body of work...

No I never said that, but the kids he is recruiting now were 10 or younger when he was at UConn. So as I said I hope they overlook his recent tenure at Maryland.

So you think Edsall is a great guy? You think the way he left UConn was classy? I mean I see your sweet "Apologista" signature so I guess I should not expect a rational take

We're all big boys and girls, we accepted the apology and moved on. Feel free to remain mired in the past.

Glad to see her Master's Degree in Copy + Paste amounted to something. There's a special c-word for people like her.

Columnist?

 

[Jerry1714]

There is 7, you need to count better, the players drafted in 2011 never played a down for him.

That is 7 over a 5 year stretch, that is not good. The 5 years before him Maryland had 13 drafted, the 5 years before that Maryland had 15. Your link proves my point thanks

Maybe his square peg doesn't fit in your round hole but that doesn't make him a scumbag. So, I guess we all don't "know that". The guy made choices in ways each of us may or may not make them but that just makes him human. I wasn't crazy about the hire, but I'm gonna back him because he's leading my team. Be a fanatic and get on the bus people!

If that was his only questionable act that would be one thing. I could care less if he is a scumbag or not (which he is). Petrino is scumbag. Calapari is a sucmbag. They win, who cares, if Edsall wins no one will care.

The 180 this board has taken on him is amazing. I was and still am one of the bigger Edsall supporters but I am not a blind apologists either.

 

[Jerry1714]

He coached 4+ years, not 3, which is part of 5 seasons. But nice try.

I would love to hear how you want to lower his years there but count all the players who were there from 2011-15.

Are you working with a full deck over there???
