What comes next for UConn athletics/football now that the football season is canceled?

Assuming the hysteria dies down on the virus by the spring, UConn should restart the blue-white scrimmage in April. There will be a lot of pent-up demand for football by then. We can assess whether all this weight-lifting and fancy slogans will get us more than 2 wins in 2021.

He was born in Boston, played for Brown and coached at Brown -- maybe he wants to return to New England.
 
Must be a weird feeling to practice for games a year away. Especially for some of the seniors who won't be back next year. The 2021 team will probably be the most prepared team with all that practice and also be the most rusty group trying to catch up to real game speed. Will be interesting.

Hey, if Red Pants can get 3 wins in his worst season, why can't HCRE2.0 at least tie his own highest win total since his triumphant return? I'm predicting no losses in 2020 and single digits in 2021, take it to the bank.
 
Next year is show or go for Randy. I think there is very little tolerance for under performing at this point.

Guys sleep walking through practice to the sounds of unintelligible music, that sums up UConn football.

The song is On The Way by Sonic Beat and the players looked good.

You would think so, but I’m not sure the administration sees it that way. If that happens, we better have a coach lined up first. Randy recruits good athletes and I’d like to keep them if he is let go. I’m not in the mood for losing a bunch of guys and doing another rebuild. I’m pretty confident Randy has brought some speed and talent in at a minimum.

I don’t disagree, but at some point results have to be shown on the field. Next year is that point.

I agree. If we were still in AAC I think next year would be a make or break year for Randy. But seeing as we have some pretty top tier teams on the schedule, I don't think wins and losses will be the benchmark to judge the team next year.
 
Randy is bringing in some decent commits.. I don’t want to start over again with another mass exodus.. which could happen if he’s let go after this season.. notice though the RS juniors and seniors are still here and hopefully stay..
I think the reason the others left was either
attitude and believing in the program...im not one of
Randy’s recruits so don’t give a crap about the program and Diaco was so much better as a coach..
no playing time.. so your not good enough to keep your spot you had as a freshman and your not getting any more time on the field ..or
We are bringing in another couple kids at your position and you’ll have to compete and they just weren’t good enough to keep the position.,
I agree we need to see a vast improvement this year ..
I think the talent was the problem as well as The coaching staff.. I can’t blame these last 3 years all on Edsall.
May some point the players have to take this in to their own hands and do better.. missed tackles, throws, fumbles, catches .. it all plays into how good a team we are.. I’m expecting improvement. Hopefully I’m not disappointed in 2021..

If it’s improvement you’re looking for, may I present 2019 Omar Fortt and today’s Omar Fortt as exhibit A. Being anticipatory and quick to the ball carrier is one thing, not letting him break your grasp is another. All of the players have committed to a relentless regimen of improvement and the differences in many cases are startling.
