I agree Mark having more money is better than having less. That being said, state of CT has been pretty good to UCONN so far since they really want to get UCONN to be on the same level as Michigan or Berkeley someday. UCONN athletic program is also self funded for the most part so they are making money even with a high budget.

BTW, I am ok with SU take Edsall. I am not sure he is the right coach to take UCONN to the next level. I think he is a great coach and I would love to have him stay, but I also think UCONN could benefit with a change also.

I could not agree more. Edsall reminds me of Minnesota's old coach-sure, he'll win you 8 or 9 games (with an OOC softer than sponge cake) a year, but if you ever expect to be more than a middle-of-the-road BCS program, you'll be dissapointed. I'd like to see what an ace recruiter like Steve Addazio at Florida, could do with the program.

I'd settle with someone who ran the option, though, to negate our lack of recruiting. Our O-Line is one of the best at run blocking in the country and our RB's are excellent. We have a 4.4 QB coming in our next recruiting class and some sick young fullbacks. We also wouldn't need to worry about throwing the ballIf we ran the option, we'd instantly become a front-runner for the BE every year.

If Edsall ever left, my top candidates would be...

Steve Addazio-TE coach, UF
Ken Niutomalolo-HC Navy
Troy Calhoun-HC Air Force (my favorite candidate)
An OC from a top BCS program with links to the northeast.

And if I'm Syracuse, I'd consider Turner Gill before Edsall.

Gill has turned UB around which is a pretty good accomplishment, but Edsall is a liitle more proven. If I had my way, I would try to lure the guys from either TCU, or Utah, or Boise, or Tommy Tuberville, or Tommy Bowden, or Addazio, or the guy at Appalachian St.

Someone mentioned that Edsall is not the coach to take Uconn to the next level. Well just look at what the guy has done with some not so great recruits playing in a league like the BE. Imagine what the guy could do with alot of 3 and 4 star recruits.

Exactly the problem. You can get 3 and 4 star guys to UConn, while pitching the "up and coming" nature of the program along with a great education and great facilities. Problem is, Edsall has proven incapable for the most part of bringing in the studs we need to get to the next level.

That said, many of our "diamond in the rough" recruits are panning out. The only players on Syracuse that could start right now for UConn are Arthur Jones and Van Chew...the talent gap between the two teams is gaping.

I disagree. The talent gap is not gaping. Its the coaching that is gaping. We have alot of talent on this team. Our team is still not deep. It has been the boneheaded playcalling and non development of the coaching staff.
By your reasoning, only a couple of your players could start for UNC.

I know that you Uconn folks dont believe in the rating system for college fb players, but the one thing that Greg Robinson was not bad at was recruiting. There are alot of 3 and 4 star recruits on this team.
If these players were coached well and developed, they would be far different players.

RE: Breaking News: Cuse covets UConn's football coach!
Word is that Gross has a lot of funding going on for this new hire, especially with the pressure from alums to bring the football program back. That being said, it still seems like a lot for 'Cuse, being private, to shell out the money for Edsall, plus the last year of Robinson's contract, plus the buyout!

Bottom line is that GRob was Gross' first hire and it was shortsighted since it was within his first month on the job. This is his chance at redemption, especially since he's turned around so many of the school's programs...and football is his only blemish, and its a big one. This hire defines him. If it doesn't turn the football program around, no matter how good every other sport is, he's in hot water.

RE: Breaking News: Cuse covets UConn's football coach!
I think if the rumor is good, then goodbye Randy Edsall. I won't lose a sec of sleep over it if Randy does to leave. It won't be too bright on his part other than it is his alma mater. No insult to the Cuse, but UCONN is just a better job right now. Frankly, it is insulting to the UCONN program that we are competing with mid-level BCS programs like Cuse and GTECH for coaches.

Perhaps Randy needs a change. Perhaps UCONN needs a change. In the end, I have little doubt UCONN will bring in an excellent coach to take the program to the next level. I would have no problem if UCONN go out and hire Turner Gill tomorrow as the new head coach.

Randy is making $1.5M at UCONN right now. SU will have to offer $2M a year to get him. UCONN can certainly match it but why? I don't think Edsall has earn that jack just yet. When he wins a BCS game for UCONN, then $2M is definitely worth it. Right now, I think he is being paid well. I am not sure SU can afford the $2M jack though.

Huh?

Listen, I understand if after the last 4 years you want to put down Syracuse as a program, but you do realize that GT has a very proud history, has 4 recognized NCs (the most recent being 1990), and has been superior to UConn during this decade, right?

Cheers,
Neil

Neil - I have no doubt many BCS programs have longer and better tradition than UCONN with SU and GTECH included. I am talking about the job today and now. Edsall already turned down GTECH and they did fine with Paul Johnson. Perhaps he and his wife really want to go back to central NY. We will just have to see. Right now it is just rumors. I am sure we will know how things fall in the next few weeks. Either way, I hope things work out for both programs.

FYI, below is what ESPN BE writer has to say about the SU opening:

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigeast/0-2-1...idate.html

"The Syracuse job is not as attractive as it used to be. The school's football facilities are not considered among the best in the Big East. The emergence of Rutgers and UConn have eroded the team's once-exclusive recruiting base. High school players are barely old enough to remember when the Carrier Dome used to pack in the fans. The often-dreary weather around campus is a tough sell when kids have so many more options these days. And a major rebuilding effort will be needed to get the program competitive again.

Going back to Syracuse wouldn't be a lateral move for Edsall at this point; it would be a step down. But until he definitively says no, Huskies fans will have to nervously hope he stays put."

And this is why I think some UConn fans are still a little "green" around the edges. The fact that Edsall decided to stay at UConn doesn't mean the Huskies' program (even in terms of right now) is on the level of a GT and if (and this is a BIG IF) he should decide to take the job (if it is even offered) it doesn't mean that SU is the better program right NOW - since it clearly isn't.

It's a personal decision of the coach. Nothing more and nothing less. It really says very little about GT, SU, and UConn.

Quote:FYI, below is what ESPN BE writer has to say about the SU opening:

And again, if RE is offered and decides to accept, maybe he is the type of coach that prefers to build programs to a certain level and isn't capable of taking it to the next level after that. Or, maybe he knows he can rebuild SU to the current level of a UConn (in 5 years rather than 10) but then knows once there, believes that history that SU has will allow the program to go to that next level.

Ultimately, it is the AD and his call. The AD has to believe in him and he has to personally decide. The AD is certainly not infallible and neither is RE. So no matter how you slice it, this decision, either way, says very little about the programs involved.

Cheers,
Neil

While we are discussing Alma Mater, perhaps Kirk Ferentz would leave Iowa and come back to UCONN. I know he still donates to UCONN. Actually, I would much prefer someone young like Turner Gill. I think guys like that can bring some fresh outlook to UCONN if there is a vacancy.

Frankly, I think Edsall is just using this as another opportunity to squeeze more money out of UCONN.

I truly think Gill is waiting for a Big 12 job to open up - but Ferentz would be a great get. As would a Skip Holtz (whose value has gone down since earlier in the season, so he is unlikely to get the southern SEC/ACC job he covets), Al Golden (who has great recruiting ties in New Jersey), or an up-and-coming guy like Mike Locksley. The possibilities are endless, if Edsall should decide to leave.

This is certainly possible.

Both Ferentz and Holtz have strong UCONN ties. If Holtz comes back to UCONN, we will get a cheerleader on ESPN as long as Lou is at ESPN. Gill might go back to the B12, but he will also realize path to BCS at UCONN is much easier. Al Golden won't be too bad either but I think the guy wants the PSU job. I won't be surprised if Edsall is waiting for the PSU job either.

Edsall has been at UCONN a long time. Perhaps it is time for a change.

Depend on what criteria you are using. If you are using 100 years of history, then UCONN does not compare. As for comparing football resources today, UCONN compares fine with GTECH or CUSE or many other BCS programs. Another hemisphere? Then why isn't Randy at GTECH right now?

Unless this paper is lying, Randy Edsall has spoke on the CUSE job opening. I guess the man is looking at the bigger picture.

Quote:Edsall Says He Will Stay at UConn
By Chuck Banning Published on 11/17/2008

UConn's Randy Edsall confirmed this morning that he has no interest in becoming the next football coach at his alma mater, Syracuse University.

"There has been speculation in various media outlets that I am a candidate for the job," Edsall told The Day this morning. "But with all due respect to my alma mater and the people at Syracuse, I am not interested in being a candidate.

"I just want to continue to coach at the University of Connecticut and prepare my team for this week's game against South Florida and the rest of our 2008 schedule. I don't want this to become a distraction to my players or coaching staff as we move forward."


Syracuse fired Greg Robinson on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Orange were beaten by UConn 39-14 at the Carrier Dome. Edsall, a former player and assistant at Syracuse, has prominently been mentioned as the frontrunner to replace Robinson.

Let's see. Where have I heard those words before? Oh yeah, from Petrino, and Rodriguez, and Saban, and almost every other coach, just before they left for another coaching job.

Listen, i dont care whether or not he is interested in the job. He is not even in my top 5. But if SU wants him, they will pay whatever they want to get him, that is if they really want him that bad. At this point, I dont think they do.

Regarding why Edsall is not at Georgia Tech, I dont know. Maybe he doesnt like the south, who knows? But that has no bearing on Georgia Tech. They are in a different level from Uconn on the national scene as far as prestige and other areas. We'rs not talking about Uconn bb here. It seems that you equate that bb pedigree with your fb.
