This hire is the definition of a Hail Mary

You know your football program is in trouble when you hire back the most hated person in UConn sports history. These are desperate times that apparently call for desperate measures.

Edsall built a respectable program before he decided to piss in the punch bowl after the Orange Bowl. His old players would probably prefer to kick his ass rather than shake his hand.

Orange Bowl ???

Sorry - Fiesta Bowl.

I like the way he built the program up without using junior college players. I am leery if he can do it again. UConn is showing a single 3-star recruit.

Yeah I was at the Grand Canyon the day after the game when I heard the news from other Uconn fans. Agreed, plus he had the BCS conference thing to use as a recruiting tool back then..( though he was more of an under the radar type of recruiter)
