And yet you can't count to 10, nor read well enough to see that i included UDFAs.

The smugness is incredible. I'm smug, yes, but I can admit to mistakes. You refuse to admit your mistakes. Which have been pointed out and aren't matters of opinion. That's not an error in judgement, that's a character flaw. So I'm pretty sure you're just a giant DB.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hell, I found an article from 1985 about Foge Fazio pulling a kid's scholarship at Pitt! It's been going on for over 30 years, but now suddenly Edsall is the only one villified? Please!

Yep. But they were 9-3 the year before Randy showed up.

OK, this has gotten way out of hand! Shows exactly what is wrong with journalism today. Take a one-sided story and run with it to smear someone.

At least Jeff Jacobs presented both sides of the issue. Sadly, due to NCAA rules, we will never hear Edsall's side of the story, only the parents' side of the story.

Randy Edsall believes in commitment — to Randy Edsall

That article was trash
 
I'm a reasonable person. If Edsall gets us to a bowl game I'll gladly admit I was wrong and buy beer at the game.

Sally Jenkins is no fan of UConn's, hasn't been since Geno upstaged her "very good friend" Pat Summitt of Tennessee.

Well...that puts a very different spin on this...lol.

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.

Jerry, get up, go to your sock drawer and eat one! Enough already! Can we please move forward!
 
Does anyone know for sure that Edsall did not contact the other schools on this kid's list to make sure he had a landing spot? Would the narrative be much different if he did? The story is pure BS.

The power of the pen, The First Amendment , and Freedom of the Press.

Easy to be cynical, negative, scurrilous towards a coach the Washington press viewed negatively since day 1 at Maryland. Let's write and jump on the bandwagon without good investigative reporting.
She missed the issue, which is the system itself and fails or better yet avoids Saban, Harbaugh and the system because it won't sell readership and add space.

Last July, Jay Paterno fired back at Sally Jenkins for her irresponsible journalism. Her job is to sell newspapers with integrity, ha!

"This is written because Penn State’s administration once again chose to issue a statement defending nothing and offending no one. It’s written because I cannot abide seeing you question the truth and the integrity of people I know."

"Your column got important facts wrong, and is an affront to thousands of men and women that made Penn State what it was for decades. It calls into question every man who ever coached here."
