Edsall=Petrino?
Can you share the pictures of the coed riding on Edsalls Harley he was banging or pictures of the woman Edsall banged on a pizza shop table - I know that is Pitino - I still want to see the ladies in scumbag comparison, if your don't mind.
...and don't forget how Petrino left Louisville and what his comments about Louisville were. And he goes back to Louisville so, Edsall returns and our stubborn grudge should be greater for coach Edsall who made a mis-step than those of Louisville... I can't even begin having to put these two names in the same sentence for comparison. Also coach Edsall never talked badly about UConn! And his former players are all excited about him being here. I rooted for those guys and never spent 5 minutes in any of HCRE's practices, so I'll look more for their judgement than I will for any journalist or other opinion fluff piece as to how I/we should react to his character. Me I would love to participate in one of his practices but my football talent wouldn't even warrant a passing hello! Some kids get better opportunities than others, would Sally of the Washington Post defend another losing season at UConn. We are in a very bad place. I look forward to HCRE winning, and as a fan I will give our coach the same time interval for improvement I would give any other coach...but in truth, he only needs to satisfy the admin and the boosters....satisfying me...I accept is NOT on his radar...I only wish other fans could accept this same perception on reality!

I've had all I can take of this non issue and the hypocrisy.

Kid's parents are total whiners.

I've stopped feeling bad for the kid too. He will be able to pick from a number of schools and get a free education playing football. He just won't be able to attend the school he wanted to because he simply wasn't good enough. The horror of it all!

Tell that to the kids who don't have that opportunity who will come out of college saddled with a 6 figure debt.

Screw this.

Look at this. Eight people agreed with you, but when I said the same thing yesterday, people told me I was too hard on the kid...

Maybe it's your presentation - just saying.

That and Jimmy has a hard core following.

The scumbag comment is a matter of opinion, which since you cannot count to 4 or read a Wikipedia page which lists his record year by year your opinion is worthless because your simply not very smart.

His tenure at Maryland saw a clear decline in players going to the NFL, the numbers are clear, you want dispute those to? They involve counting above 4 so be careful.

I really don't care about Edsall, I am impressed with the coordinators he pulled in. That speaks for itself, no?

Guys, these rationalizations and counter-arguments do not dispel a basic fact - UConn is on the wrong side of the argument and we will take a beating (fair or not). The best thing UConn could do is say they examined the situation and intend to stick by their commitment and turn this in its head by leading reform efforts. Hiding from it or ignoring it won't remove the tarnish.

Look. It was a dumb move by Edsall. It's worse because it reflects on UConn.

He has never figured out the value of public relations. He still hasn't. Right or wrong doesn't matter. Perceptions matter. And Randy clearly doesn't get it.

I counted drafted players, you threw in undrafted, that was obvious. If you think this difference in how we looked at it makes you right about something or absolves your idiocy in which you tried to call me out but flat out made yourself look foolish fine, you deserve a victory.

The point remains that Maryland saw a decrease in NFL players during Edsalls tenure compared to the previous stretchs of similar years. This was my point which you foolishly tried to argue against and put on an amazing display of stupidity.

To be fair, Maryland was a ticking time bomb. The players didn't go to class, got poor grades, screwed up the APR, and had a lot of off the field issues.

I'm new to this trolling stuff, but I've been having a little fun trolling the idiots who have been ripping Randy on the comments section of the Wash Post. Some of you people would be way better at it!

Exactly, and he still got players to the league. He did this while cleaning up a program and amid defections of kids not willing to accept a little discipline.

Still go back to Orlovsky's dad saying (and he was no fan of Randy)
His son would run through fire for him.

What a poor excuse for journalism. U-Conn't write a hit piece if you aren't even informed enough to know how to properly spell/format UConn... Sally JERKins.

Technically Petrino was hauling employees around on his bike not coeds.

True, although she had previously been a co-ed at the school while he was a coach there.
