Agreed. Word is Benedict never wanted to hire Edsall.
Wait till the end of the year and save the money if you are going to do it.
No you're not. I think it would be better for the players and the stability of the team, and for the school in finding a new coach. The quicker the better.

They're broke. They aren't eating a million to make you feel better for eight weeks.

It's the same team with the same talent. They aren't going to look better with an assistant coach.
You're full if it, and you know it. Just stop it.

I'm nowhere near as connected to the program like you but I was told the same thing by people working in the athletic department.
I was also told a lot of the decisions are out of his hand which is awful if true.
How can they be eating a million by firing him now, while paying him $150,000 every month since last January??????

That’s BS. Benedict was all in on Edsall
No flags. Why do they have to pay him another million dollars if they fire him now, while paying him $150,000 every month since January?

We should pay Dave Benedict $1,000 for every time he talks to the UConn fanbase. I think we'd only be out about 5k over the last two years...
I saw your post but didn't read it. Sorry Medic, that is some contract. That being said they should fire him now anyway. If they fire him now, it's better for the players and the stability of the team, one million well spent IMO. Plus they could get lucky with an interim coach stepping in quickly. If the school cares about the program they should fire him tomorrow at the airport.

Why wouldn’t you just put that $1m into new coach/new coaching staff salaries moving forward?

It is peculiar how invisible he’s become

I'm not sticking up for him but what is he going to tell the fans? It's a no win situation.

Season is lost. Players have already quit on him. Save the Million and go chase TJ. Give him a 2 year deal. If he goes . 500 in year 2 he gets a 1 year extension and bumped to $1.5 Million. If he wins 6-7 games in year 3, he gets 2 year extension. The guy is hungry and still looking for his shot to prove himself. Great experience. Knows the environment and will kick butt. Plus, he’s cheap. He needs at least 650k each for an OC and DC. Bring in Danny O as QB coach. Let’s get after this thing.

Don’t know about that but Benedict hired Randy because he knew what it took to be successful here. But circumstances have obviously changed

TJ? Seriously? Because he wore short sleeves on cold days? We can do better than that
You can move forward NOW, if you get rid of Edsall now, especially in the eyes of the players and any new coaching prospects. I think Edsall has lost control of the team. Give him his one million, I don't care. Getting rid of this guy mid season is 100 times better for the program than waiting to announce a new coach in February.
