I also think these kids need a new voice. Perhaps someone that can break tape down with them and show them the number of loafing plays throughout the year and instill how and why that is unacceptable. The messaging just wasn't getting through and hasn't for two years now.
Agree 100%!!!
I can see Season Ticket sales being in the 3000 range if there are no defensive staff changes. That to me is basically signaling that giving up 50+ points per game is acceptable and that nobody is being held accountable. At that point it's pretty much a given last one out shut the door because the lights will already be out.
No decent DC will want to join Edsall next year even if Crocker is fired. Candidates can easily read the writing on the wall. UConn was 1-11 this season and loses its best players Pindell, Mayala, Bus, and Davis. Our offense will be significantly worse while our defense even with improvement will still be terrible. UConn may not win any FBS games next year, which would likely lead to a Edsall being fired and the new DC being gone as well. Edsall is stuck with crocker.
So I take it you aren’t sending in your renewal for season tickets?
Yup. At some point, somebody has to be held to some semblance of accountability if there is any hope of improving. In the real world of accountability and consequence, there are jobs where you can absolutely fail and keep your job. What’s worse is Crocker’s attitude. It shows a lack of any personal accountability.
I am weird...I have been told that no normal sane person enjoys crawling around a building with fire rolling over their head....I find it beyond fun..my happy place! RE has always been like that...it's he way that he is. He just hasn't employed a DC here that gave up 50+ its per game and whose defense showed ZERO improvement from game 1 to game 12!
Thanks..I missed that one
Ahhh but it will....Crocker has South Jersey and PA as his recruiting territory...name the last kid we brought in from South Jersey since Edsall has been here. He was very successful down there in the past...Scott Lakatos cleaned up down there to tell you the truth. Never mind the fact he should have a direct line to schools like St John Vianny and Red Bank Catholic from his days at Villanova..like BC does using the Catholic School connection. He was a ghost there back then too. He may be a nice guy...time to end this experiment...there will be more members on the football forum here than I will count as fellow season ticket holders next season.
Direct player development/improvement is done by Coordinators and positional coaches...HC is a program manager (micro-manager or not). The HC may dictate how he wants things done or what he needs worked on but he is one person...cant be with 4-5 different positions on one side of the ball at practice at one time.
Nope...what I'm saying is Edsall says we need better players.....It's been mentioned on this board..heck even in this thread that we need better players for this Defense to get better...Crocker is about as good a recruiter as he is a DC it seems...so if he cant get the job done on the recruiting trail and his defense is giving up 50+ points per game why keep him around. I know of his lack of recruiting in the part of South Jersey I mentioned for a fact...not sure about his other areas. I may seem to be pretty stubborn o this point..but when you write a check for season tickets and sit through this nonsense week after week...then listen to the BS that comes out of Crocker's mouth each week to the press...it's easy to get pissed off.
One playmaker. One.
RBC kids are terrible? They have one kid who is among the tops TE’s in the country and is going to ND...the QB has a full ride to BC ... neither one of them was offered by Crocker...but yeah don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
Thanks
