The View From Section 241

My thought I’d that nobody would be real successful with the guys we have but Crocker isn’t going to be successful even with better guys. Even though I had and still have some problems with the solve your problems with aggression approach you won’t solve them by being passive for sure.

It's on Edsall, not Crocker. Edsall is the guy playing all the frosh so that they will be seasoned next year. Nothing is gonna happen, folks. The people playing are doing so so that they will be seasoned and ready to take UConn to a bowl next year. All this has been thoroughly discussed at high levels, believe me. Right up to Suzy Lax. Two to four wins this year is the expectation. The sky is not falling. There is a plan in all this. The long game.

Great post. Can someone please tell me why defense has become so hard to play these days? Even the top tier teams seem willing to just out score their opponents at times. Is it the rule changes that make it harder or do the best athletes play offense in college? Honest question. Good D seems so hard to come by these days. By the way, you should write for one of the local papers, because I have seen nothing close to this in any of those rags. One other thing, I’m sure this has been covered, but we need to remember it took RE 3 years to build that 9-3 team. He inherited a disaster and we have to be patient. I know this isn’t news to anyone. I guess we have to take the little wins and hope he’s the recruiter we need to get back where we were. As bad as it’s been lately, we aren’t the Browns. And they still have fans. Just my 2 cents. I didn’t buy season tix this year but I will be at at least 4 games. And I never scalp, cuz my wife won’t go unless I guarantee her a chair back.

If Suzy Lax is involved in high level discussions with Edsall about our long term football strategy and providing input, I for one would find that truly terrifying.

Curous - when did these discussions occur - when he was hired, after last season or after spring/summer camp?

She has to be given a heads up and fully understand the plan. There are financial implications if nothing else.

Edsall went 9-3 vs an awful Independent schedule. There were no bowl tie ins

Crocker is not going anywhere and he won't be scapegoated until after next year. Certain experienced players did not buy in last year. That was made obvious after the Carrezola tweet about the 4 down linemen and #whatcouldofbeen. Now the D is more than peppered with inexperience. Boise has all the makings to be as ugly as UCF, but with the way other programs are playing defense, there is still a possibility of scratching out 6 wins before the year is out. If nothing else, the tailgates will still be fun and the offense will be entertaining. The latter is more than can be said for the last 7 years.
