No attack Pal, he walked out of a presser with the last question being asked having nothing to do with his team. That or even one on our schedule.
To compare this to his original walking out on the team and the school is simply a thought process you should think about to say the least.
If you can't forgive and forget, pick one. Find an experience in your own life to get over it. Anyone following the program knows there was a ton of dog poop going on behind the scenes between Randy and Hathaway at the time. Something I should say Randy has always taken the high road on and never expounded to the public on.
Really hope you can find a way to get over it, good luck and GO DOGS!!!
I have already said on this thread I forgive Randy. But I won't forget. I'm not upset. I wish him every success.
Look, we all know who Randy is. He has grown a little since he was last here but he is the same guy. He is the guy who refused to change the lousy punt protection even as the blocks piled up year after year. When he finally, changed it, punts stopped being blocked. But his stubbornness cost us games over the years because he had dug in his heels.
He is the guy that would thank the coaches first after every win. And blame execution (players) after every loss. During his first stint, he didn't understand or care about the media, he thought it was a nuisance and never learned how to use it for his benefit. And we know he set one standard for his players and another for himself.
On the field, he is cautious. He comes from the bend but don't break, keep everything in front of you, play not to lose mold. He often uses the offense to protect his defense.
Randy has some very good traits. He genuinely cares about the kids and helping them succeed off the field and grow as men. His own reputation is spotless, he handles himself with class. He is a good man.
His ability to look at high school kids and project their development is terrific. At a place like UConn that is necessity. He then develops players, makes them better.
His teams play hard (if not always well). He has proven he can win here. He is a good coach.
The good news is that he knows he made a mistake. He has owned up to walking out of the press conference. I don't think the old Randy would have. Like I said, he has grown. But he flashed the old Randy in the press conference. I wasn't surprised. And I was reminded.
