What would you ask Randy Edsall in an #AMA?

[Palatine]

How could you coach the most important game in UConn history, the BCS bowl game against Oklahoma without being completely committed to the team and wining? You knew you had one foot out the door? You knew you were not fully invested? Why did you do it?

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

Are we going to renew the Civil Conflict rivalry?

Are we going to renew the Civil Conflict rivalry?

Already taken! Also, I didn't realize how angry people would be in these questions...you do realize the only watchable football we've ever played was under Edsall. And that leaving was smart...

Why would you say leaving for Maryland was smart?

 

[SubZero]

Why did you accept such a low salary when you stabbed UCONN in the back and left for a garbage program like Maryland just because they paid you more?

 

[freescooter]

Do you pinky swear that you will never, ever, ever put the fake fake field goal in your playbook?

Leaving in general was smart. Conference was about to collapse and we were left out, RE knew. And Maryland turned out to be a pretty good job. Big time UA apparel school, DMV recruiting, and big 10 football. Injuries and the big 10 transition hurt, but MD was a much better job than most other previous RE rumors

Here's a serious question:

What's it like coaching with your son? What are the main joys and challenges of that opportunity?

 

[warbler1055]

What is your realistic expectation for this season?

 

[jpdmath]

Hey--thanks for all the great questions! We sent them along to Athletics on Friday, so we're good to go. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Inside UConn Nation email newsletter (as well as UConn Alumni social) in early August (likely 8/10) to see which made the cut.

Unless you've opted out, all alumni and donors should get Inside UConn Nation--but if you don't and would like to, you can sign up here (select "UConn News & Updates').
