So about all the coaching options we had when Pasqualoni was eventually hired....

None of this would be an issue if Randy Edsall didn't sneak away in the middle of the night and stab UConn in the back. If he had stayed he could have built on the Fiesta Bowl season and UConn would have been more than competitive and would likely have been in the ACC now. We can all blame Pasqualoni or Diaco, but the fault lies with Randy. Sorry.

No, Louisville would have gotten the ACC invitation regardless of Kragthorpe's ineptitude. And, in fact, it did.
