Tyler Davis Transferring

Come on, of course it's a HCRE2.0 issue. If you don't buy into the cult why stick around. Kid decided, like HCRE2.0, that negative influences needed to be eliminated; so he eliminated having to deal with the negative influence of HCRE2.0.

Right. Young man can't just be sick of losing and wanting to finish his career playing somewhere where they win football games.
 
Moving on...

I wonder if Jordan McAfee would consider transitioning to TE. He certainly has the build at 6' 4" 220 with broad shoulders and showed some mobility as a high school QB. TJ Gardner would be another candidate, he was a fantastic HS TE. (depends on how the coaches view his defensive potential)

Hmmm, the same Jordan McAfee who is currently 1 of only 3 QBs on the 2019 roster?

All the best to Tyler Davis.

Tarbutt, now Davis? Randy is friggin Captain Queeg.
 
The obsession with firing Crocker, who clearly isn’t being allowed to run his preferred D is concerning. “We can’t fire Edsall, so let’s fire Crocker and replace him with another guy who will do whatever Randy says.” Listen to the the coach, look at recruiting, look at his excuses. We are playing freshmen while slower but far stronger, bigger, more experienced guys sit. That’s Randy’s choice. It’s all Randy. You could hire Bill Parcells as DC and you’d still be seeing the same garbage.

This isn’t a Crocker problem. Firing Crocker is kind of barbaric. We want to see heads roll so let’s just fire Crocker. Crocker might be an issue but he isn’t THE issue. We have no way of knowing.

Let’s give it one more season and then, if need be, clean house. Scapegoating a guy that has far more recent success in college football than Randy is ridiculous.

To quote someone who constantly asks "how do you know". How do you know he is sick of losing and not sick of HCRE2.0? If you buy in, you buy into the process of being part of the turnaround. What part of HCRE2.0 montra don't you understand? To sort of quote HCRE2.0: "You improve the culture by who you bring in and WHO YOU KEEP". Kid decided "Keep my **", I'm out of here.

By the way, I thought it wasn't important if UConn wins games as long as the process continues, you saying this kid is a selfish, non team guy like Summers and wants to actually win; unlike HCRE2.0.

Are you making the case to fire HCRE2.0 just like the guys at HCREDreamJob1.0 previous head coaching job did? If so I'm in.

Except they aren't gonna let Crocker run his defense so this isn't in anyone's best interest to carry on.
 
Edsall screwed these kids. Compare that to what Hurley said.

“I owe it to these guys to coach them like we’re a team with a chance this year. So that’s how I’m going to coach them,”

Nope. Edsall said they are too weak and too slow and too stupid to learn the defense, so he needs to recruit better players.

No wonder the kids are running away as fast as their weak little legs will carry them.

You can't be serious with this post! Better yet...there is no way you are a season ticket holder! "Kind of barbaric"...like it or not that moron ran a D that gave up 50+points per game...50+ points! I don't care what he can or can't run...if he isn't a good enough coach to run anything but his BS gimmick 3-3-5 then he should have left after his first season here. Better yet...he needs his own players to run his D...he sure is knocking it dead on the recruiting trail bringing kids that can play the scheme you are touting in your post. It's not working...and it won't work next season.

You are correct the way the kids see treated by Hurley was what you want to see as a lease of young athletes.

What everyone has seen from Edsall has been REprehensible.

^^^^^^^ 100% correct! The only way this thing will work, is if Edsall allows his coordinators to do their job. Edsall is definitely a micromanager. He’s putting too much on his plate. He needs to focus on player development more than taking over everyone’s responsibility. I’ll give him one more year and if we get the same results he needs to get fired. Hopefully UConn will start taking football more seriously and put more money into the big boy sport.
 
It strains belief what is happening right now.

We tried to justify the Tarbutt or Murphy decisions due to their level of play or success. I wasn't sure that I bought that. Now this. Clearly, this isn't because of lack of skill.

Do we have a reporter left in the state of Connecticut that is willing to ask some tough questions of either Edsall or Benedict? This is quickly turning into a full blown dumpster fire. With so few players, they'll need to activate me soon, and I don't move the way I did in the 90s...

Wow. With McClean graduating, Davis was by default the starting TE. If he doesn't end up on a better team, then he must not have any faith in Randy's program.

Exactly, and realistically if you try to move up too much in team quality then you may have uncertain or less playing time. SMU may be a player on this one?

He effectively got rid of his two best coaches and now has a bunch of coaches he controls.

It's this plus the fact that you are sending a terrible message to the fan base, and team. You are basically saying that you're fine with being the worst defense in FBS history in almost every major category. You're saying that embarrassment for this program is ok. You're saying that you just don't give a crap about the product on the field.

Whether or not Crocker has any control, the reality is, someone's head has to roll. When it comes to your units ineptitude, it's going to be you. The defense was beyond horrific. The Defensive coordinator must be held responsible and removed.

Look at other schools who are mediocre but not terrible. They fire their OC or DC if they have a few .500 seasons. Here we are looking at losing 19 straight games vs FBS opponents and we're saying it's ok to keep our DC??? Come on....

I think this is pretty much where I stand... I’d say I tried to defend Crocker on this board longer than most, but it got to the point where there was zero improvement from game 1 to the Tulsa game. That’s when I had a change of heart. It just isn’t working the way things are now.

I don’t think Crocker is the reason the defense was bad. But I do think there should’ve been some improvement over the course of the year and it just wasn’t there. Somebody needs to be held accountable for the worst defense in CFB history.

If you want to see UConn "start taking football more seriously and put more money into the big boy sport" then the rest of your post makes no sense what so ever! Because if they did..then your buddy DC Billy Crocker would have been fired after the first 4-5 games for the beyond putrid performance of his D. UConn is the ONLY school where this kind of performance doesn't get you fired...roster make-up or not. But hey don't let the truth get in the way of a feel good story!

If that A hole is here next year, I will have to really think hard about renewing season tickets, which is an act of love rather than intelligence at this point.

How about the HC being held accountable...I am always amazed by how Edsallites want Crocker fired for how bad the defense was and how there was no improvement, but never point the blame on the HC who is clearly calling the shots on defense, and is supposed to be a defense oreiented HC.

But if Edsall has control of the defense then your post makes no sense. If Edsall is involved heavily with the defense then we can’t blame Crocker.

I am not sure what you are talking about. Where are there “Edsallites” saying RE isnt accountable? Maybe UConnbill....but there arent many.

To me...pretty much the whole board is in or near the same place. Everyone is shocked how bad the defense has been. And everyone questions Edsalls management of players he didn't recruit. We all can't believe there was no improvement on defense throughout the year. For these two things (player management and lack of improvement) it isn't unreasonable to say Edsall is accountable and these are potentially reasons to be fired.

Reality is....he has a history here of being able to build a program. That buys him time. Second...what are our options? Hire a Diaco like coordinator and hope he can turn it around? Find millions of dollars (from where?) to lure an experienced coach to take on this mess? Not better options than letting a coach who has been somewhat successful here finish the play.

Not a great place to be in....but that's where we are.
 
Great kid and I wish him well but come on. Nobody on a 1-11 team is irreplaceable.

At the end of the day he's the DC and he gets the blame....you get another guy in here and things stay the same then so be it. Giving up 50+ its per game gets you terminated in-season never mind at the end of the year anywhere else in the country...you must be a Pro-Crocker supporter.
