Seriously though, F them BOTH.

We finally start to establish ourselves offensively a few years back, one guy bolts, then we still have an idea of what we're doing last year, and then, at the last minute, the other guy bolts to a sorry a** NFL franchise that is afraid to learn how to win. He should stayed here!

Now, we got this makeshift crap Edsall is doing his dammedist to hold together on that side if the ball. Its Verducci all over again... well, maybe not that bad, BUT bad enough.
We should've looked better, even in defeat.

That late score was nice but just didn't carry the weight of the Illinois game. Should a been better.

Not sure where our next win comes this year.

I pray these guys prove me wrong.

Lashlee and Dunn leaving are where we should focus our anger at?

Not HCRE who left the program he built from trailers in the desert in 2011 just a mere 2 years before the last life boats were being launched for the ACC?

The only coaching move that would be dumber than UConn bringing back RE, will be Rutty bringing back Shady.

Lashlee ran himself out of town

Bingo.

He was the heir apparent. We didn't pay him enough, and his family didn't want to live in the northeast...

Bingo is right money talks and UConn doesn’t want to put the money in because they don’t have it unfortunately

RE is not the type who can stand the idea of an "heir apparent" on his staff. Especially if he has a prior connection with the AD. Ego is way too fragile.

I don't believe he had a choice. Lashlee came because of his connections to Benedict.

He left because his wife was unhappy and SMU paid him significantly more for the same job...

Lashlee wanted a southern team or a west team to be a coach for better recruiting and better turn around

You guys can believe whatever you want - Randy tried to micro manage and isn’t comfortable with a modern day offense. He also blamed Lashlee for putting his hand picked DC on the field too quickly even if he scored. With Randy, Lashlee couldn’t win.
People should stop blaming Lashlee’s wife, she had nothing to do with it.

Now everyone wants to blame Edsall I mean a lot of coaches can go against a call look at the nfl or any other college team head coaches can do whatever is right for that moment. I still believe Edsall let’s his guys call plays as long as they make sense.

UConn got Lashlee for a 250k PAY CUT from Auburn! You probably didn't know or understand that. He wasn't going to be kept at Auburn. It wasn't a secret.

You want to keep a 600k coach for 350k and you think he's going to stick around for long? WRONG! He's gone the second he gets a chance. And he got that chance at SMU...

From the start Lauren Lashlee wanted to return to the South but was wiling to spend 3-4 years anywhere so her husband could show his abilities away from Mahlzan to enhance his HC chances. Under RE that was impossible.

Everyone keeps saying UConn doesn’t have the money to pay a good coach. Where did they get the $17 million to screw the football team?
