Season Wrap Up Podcast w Alex Putterman

[gwhuskyfan]

Hi all,

I've been posting my new Connecticut sports podcast primarily on the basketball board - given most of the content of late has been relevant to them, but my latest episode is perfect for here -- a season wrap up with Alex Putterman of the Courant. Our conversation:

Enjoyed the podcast, except for Putterman's view that the "excuses" for the dismal defensive performance (e.g., youth and inexperience) were essentially valid. While he's likely correct in his analysis I'm still inclined to believe that if Urban Meyer or Nick Saban were coaching this defense, results would have been different.

What if they were head coach?

Look, the roster just isn't where it needs to be, but Edsall made the decision to go all youth on defense. It will be another long year next year and then we will see if were making any progress. Sucks but absent an influx of jucos and transfers I doubt the overall results will look any different.

Remember those UCF predictions?

Remember those UCF predictions?

Sure. I stand by them.

If Urban or Nick were here, they would resign to get a P5 coaching job...

Here’s the thing. This is pretty much year 1 of the rebuild. Next season is year 2. The Diaco recruits were for all intents and purposes cut and it will be mostly Edsall guys going forward. I expect we will win a couple of 3 games next year and though it might be frustrating 2020 will be the year we reall make the turn.
