So this Randy thing is done right?

Drew said:
There are literal clowns on this website that told me taking two years off from playing games was going to be a good thing for the program.

I’d love to hear from all of you who repeatedly ripped me for being “down” on the program while you pumped sunshine during this period. Not a peep from anyone it looks like

I guarantee taking the year off was more about dodging liability over the novel flu. Playing it up as conditioning was just optics to cover the fact. The current product makes that much obvious.
 
Hire a pop-warner coach at this point. Literally. No staff could be worse than this. I’ll take the job - pay me that salary to take L’s & spout excuses. Randy was an ok coach a decade or so ago. He was a joke when we re-hires him. We’re the joke for retaining him.

Randy is a grumpy old man now. Who's pulled a Diaco on UConn fans. Collecting paychecks.

Randy fled during the high point of UConn football in a somewhat disrespectful manner. He then failed at Maryland and somehow landed back here. Guy doesn’t give a flying you know what about UConn football. He wasn’t making $1.3M anywhere else but at UConn and he knew it. We fell for it.

Never shoulda brought him back.
 
Butch said:
His senses and judgement were still somewhat intact when he took off for Maryland. Ever since then? He's been a Diaco(head) who can recruit. He's more interested in paychecks now than wins.

Can he recruit? I was wishing I was a HC fan today.

I suppose the answer to this is anyone, but who takes over if AD Dave makes the move tomorrow? We won't hire a permanent coach in-season. Who is the interim?

Good point...if only they played UMass and liberty last year they would have won today.

Whether or not they played last year doesn't matter. What does matter is that Edsall and his staff have not figured out how to develop a winning football team. He has had time to build a culture and develop a team and he has failed. And...not to put it in one guy...but if JZ was competent they win today and maybe gain some confidence. Every time the defense seemed to get fired up, the QB did something to hurt the offense and then the defense seemed to lose steam.

Again...I hate to put it in one guy, but I can't believe after being here four years, this is the best QB Edsall can run out there. It's so odd that Edsall is risk adverse...and yet he starts a turnover machine at QB

Edsall is the problem...not that they didn't play last year. And anyone who says otherwise is just about patting themselves on the back.
 
When you are in a hole the first thing you need to do is stop digging. Can someone please inform AD Dave that the hole is about 748,967 feet deep already?
 
The block C is probably not coming back anytime soon after Randy is fired.

#96 totally turned his back on Edsall in that clip and that kid is a winner. Will be great in the Edsall household tonight.

I think we will find that Randy recruited decent talent. He can do that. He can’t coach. Hopefully, a good coach can come in and make something of these guys.
Expand ...
I agree. The talent level seems to be improving but the coaching, especially on the offensive side of the ball is awful.

Meh. Backup RB is good. Like our TEs, WRs. We have decent players on the defensive line. I like our secondary except for Myles Bell. Our kicking is good.

Coaching and QB. That's where we suffer.

You are absolutely right.

Really hope the entire team walks out on him. It's insane no move has been made yet and if Benedict and the school no longer care about the program it's up to the players to make their voices heard.

I’m so torn on this. On the one hand, do these kids have any individual / team / UConn pride that will keep them playing hard? Or are they already playing to their capacity and just don’t have innate abilities to compete with even an FCS level team?

Was that Benny Hill-esque sequence in the 4th quarter where the HC QB ran silly through the whole defense them just being outclassed? Or giving up?

I was so stunned watching this game in the stands today. Really thought at worst we were going to win a tight game. Losing and losing with such conviction wasn’t even on my radar screen.

They're very clearly demoralized. They were told all last year that if they put in work they'd see results and there haven't been any results to speak of. I can't imagine how mentally draining that must be.

The defense is every bit as awful. That 4Q QB scramble was a symptom of a larger problem.

Pitt has a home-and-home vs Tennessee, which will be called "The Johnny Majors Classic", as Majors was very successful as HC at both schools.

I'm thinking AD Dave should get on the phone to Maryland to schedule a "Randy Edsall Fiasco".
 
Can someone explain Randy’s issue with Krajewski? Starting to see some frustration from people close to Steve. I tend to agree. We can all agree he at least should be starting. I don’t get the deal. Is randy so stubborn bc he doesn’t wanna admit he’s wrong?

At this point i am inclined to believe he is intentionally sabotaging the team and school. It is the most plausible answer to the question: "how can he be such a poor coach."

This has zero to do with JZ as I think he’s a hard worker and definitely has talent. But I mean SK is clearly the week one QB. I honestly think UConn is 1-1 if he is and has a decent Fresno performance on offense

He's been a loser his whole career, just more of a loser then he was before
