Something has to give. This is intolerable. I don't know how much more what's left of the fanbase can take. They can't field a remotely competitive football team and nobody in the AD even seems to give a crap.
I'm a diehard and have all but given up that this is ever gonna get better before it's totally gone.

They have to fire him now, waiting till the end of the season, would be worse for the team, IMHO.

Just so this doesn’t turn into another BY legend... Edsall signed the contract back in July - not a few weeks ago.

You missed reading it...
>>Edsall, athletic director David Benedict and then-UConn president Susan Herbst all signed Edsall’s contract in late July of this year, followed by AAUP-Storrs executive director Michael Bailey on Aug. 1.<<

What's his buyout if he is let go after this year? Should be no more than a 12 pack of Molson's.

The buyout for Edsall and Benedict should be no more than a case.

We have a head coach sharing salary with staff. An OC who’s a line coach and a defense that looks like they brought back the dude from Nova. Burton and Schenkman have to be wondering why they bothered writing those huge checks. They need to push the admin to hold up their end of the deal

Benedict has to fire him now. Firing Edsall at the end of the season is worse for the school, team and players, IMHO.

I might be in the minority but I wouldn't fire Benedict.

I’ll defer to your insight. I am just so done being let down year after year. I know that being a native of Connecticut it’s in my DNA to be a grump but today makes me feel like how my dad feels all the time and I think it scares me a little bit.

Whats the difference if they fire him now or at the end of the season? You're going to end up with the same result.

Why would you pay him a $1m now as opposed to zero on 12/2?
