The Real Story How Edsall Departed

[sdhusky]

The Germans have bombed Pearl Harbor!

I know you are trying to be funny by talking about ancient history as news, but in future, you should get the history right. It wasn't the Germans at Pearl Harbor, it was the Japanese.

sportsart- the reason I posted this is because it's MD week and I don't recall ever reading it on the BY. Obviously, my memory is not as good as yours.

Really?

You can not make the Boneyard up.

Really?

My guess is you've been trolled.

Thank you for the laugh.

That may be both the best and worst post of all time.

Don't even worry about it - the thread is now about something entirely different.

Pearl Harbor has been bombed and we're going to get to the bottom of it.

Problem is...if he didn't have it locked down and it blew up he would have lost the team if he had stayed. I'm certain that nobody in the Boneyard ever blindsided an employer in order to protect themselves during a job change.

I always tell my employers that I'm interviewing elsewhere prior to actually receiving an offer. It makes for fun yearly reviews.

RE couldn't land the job at GT, how the hell is he going to land the job at PSU???

 

[UConnDan97]

You bastards are mean! Is nobody really going to tell sdhusky why the "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor"??? I feel it's my American duty to help him out:

RE couldn't land the job at GT, how the hell is he going to land the job at PSU???

He wouldn't have. But he might have been interviewed after winning 2 conference championships, receiving a BCS bid, and 4 straight bowl bids. Didn't have that on his resume if/when GT was interested.

Businesslawyer is paid by Saint Randy's PR people to defend Edsall at all costs.

I wish I could be part of the UConn fan internet message board in-crowd so I could unnecessarily and arrogantly mock a poster for sharing a piece of news he thought was interesting and beneficial to the typical UConn fan.

I read this board daily to get info on the team/new recruits and rarely if ever post, but some posters paint a picture of themselves as 50 year old, overweight, starter jacket-wearing know-it-all's playing World-of-Warcraft on their extended desktop. It is highly amusing.

Carry on.

And you are paid by who to do the exact opposite?

 

[Fishy]

I have opinions - where do I go to get a piece of all this money that's flying around?

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Randy Edsall was guilty of a lot of things (for instance, putting the "offensive" into offensive football) but get over bashing him for not saying a proper good bye to his players. Circumstances obviously dictate that he proceed exactly the way he did and these players aren't Pop Warner, they're men. Deal with. Same thing with the fans, they should have more more upset about the fact that Uconn was the only team (win or lose) on that New Year's Day that didn't score a single offensive TD. They should have been furious with that dumb , slow developing play that RE called on fourth and goal when the game is still a game.

You first have to fill a form out on the Rutgirls board. Then they give you a quick quiz. How many Cuse Freshman passed Freshman English last year?

 

[RMS25CT]

Dude - You wait the month of December and you can't even fly home with the team, and go to College Park the next day????

I respect Edsall for what he did while at UConn but thought it was time for him and UConn to move on. That said, the whole "not flying home with the team" is blown way out of proportion. I believe most of the team went home with family and those that had immediate NFL aspirations reported to their workout sites.

The way he left was horrible, but the term, "Dream Job," is a shot at Hathaway, who actually had MD as his dream job, but wanted too much money and they took another option.

Not sure why, but I feel compelled to help you...

 

[uconnfan68]

The irony is, I think if Edsall had stayed at UConn he would now be at his true dream job and coaching Penn State.

How many dream jobs can one person have?
