Also heard the MD players had a "team" meeting without him, Karma baby, if it does happen..... couldn't happen to more of a snake. Especially after he had Todman stand up to announce his early NFL entry to his team after the Fiesta bowl...while sneaking away on a private flight without saying a word to them that he was leaving for MD as his team flew back alone.
Here's the read and speculation: BREAKING: Maryland to Fire Randy Edsall
I think on this one, where i would differ, is I don't harbor any ill will towards him (ok, for full transparency i do a little). Am i smiling a bit based on his current situation? yeah. My wife is estatic ha ha. But when i look back at the entire picture, he did as good a job getting UC to the next level as anyone could have. A few times we were ranked in the top 25 (whether it was deserved is up for debate). He was disciplined and it typically showed with his teams. He knew what he had as far as players and for the most part got the most out of them. I acknowledge that the hatred goes specifically to his actions at the end and i was as upset as anyone. But when i look back at how he handled the Jasper Howard situation (during & after), and what he did for UC football, I guess for me at least, time has (mostly) heeled by wounds.
Just my opinion Blades. Ur the man and i respect your opinion. For some reason i'm sentimental today (24th wedding anniversary)...for whatever reason, I think he's a good guy, and cared deeply for his players and if he had a do over he would have done it differently at the end....I would like to think he's a better person than what we saw from the circumstances surrounding his decision to leave husky nation. With that said, he'll make a great HC at Susequehanna U , his new dream job.
ok, now i'm ready for the back lack from the room haha. But remember this b4 the cuffs come out in here....u guys are my husky brothers...slap me around some...but don't kill me
Shaggy..in the bigger picture part..I can't disagree. Was Edsall, lukewarm at times yes, vanilla and reliable most of the time yes, until he was sneaky at the end . When one takes a balanced look at his works....He got things done as a team builder in a new era of Uconn FB after Skip left. ( and yes thumbs up on the #6 tragedy that will never be forgotten) After PP and GDL, I guess we never knew how good we had it ( screw you Jeff Hathaway...LOL !)
Another part was he never did the program any favors sniffin' around the last 3 or 4 years for other jobs or the way he always wanted to play Uconn off as little Connecticut, especially after the Notre Dame win. If you compare it to how Calhoun came in and made Uconn "thee" destination instead of a stepping stone with his mind set, Randy never got it. Especially the way he used to use interviews and/or "fake jobs" ( like G-Tech or trying to link himself to the ND job) at Uconn for leverage and pay raises, but which also hurt his recruiting. ( he left PP with nothing other than Lyle McCombs and a walk-on QB in the backfield)
The Karma part of it becoming his team against him at Maryland and him having to walk the "plank" by himself with his departure already out in the media... says you reap what you sow and I guess he wont be sneaking off for any jobs without his team knowing this time around......But in the big picture we can't deny him the work he did in those "trailers ", the grad rates or the Fiesta Bowl while working around Hathaway, who didn't make things easier.
. let's just hope at some point the FB program becomes strong enough where coaches dont view the head job as a step along the well, but a destination.
