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.

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.

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

How can they be eating a million by firing him now, while paying him $150,000 every month since last January??????

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?

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?

I do know they don't get along presently..
 
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.

Why would you have to wait till February? Why not on December 2 to give a new staff a few weeks to solidify current commits (if they still meet the need) and to recruit additional players before the December 18-20 signing dates.

The school needs to shake things up and fire Edsall now. Give him his one million, the school, the program, the players would be better for it. Too many pitfalls if they wait until Christmas.

Move forward to what? Basically a month and a half to save a million bucks you can use toward the next staff. I knew at some point his buyout was zero, i was pleasantly surprised to see its THIS YEAR.

If they fire him now, doesn't the school get a mid season jump on a new coach, on recruits? Timing is critical here. Edsall's play calling kills this team every week, get rid of him now. I think some of the new coaching possibilities might be gone by early December. Fire him now, bring someone in quickly interim who can call some plays and teach the players how to tackle. Also consider if you wait till December 3rd, how many players will have already decided to leave? A mid season firing (tomorrow) is better for the team in the long run, and I think Mr's Schenkman and Burton would agree. Maybe we get lucky and the interim coach fires these kids up. The longer they wait the worse things will get. Time is money too, medic.

You can’t bring anyone in now. Everyone we’d want has a job. Cmon man. Everyone’s under contract during the season

Time is money too, even if it's just the 2nd half of the season.
