Randy Edsall retiring at the end of the season. The Huskies are 0-2 this season, losing 45-0 to Fresno and 38-28 at home to Holy Cross.

Who do we think they'll pursue? Have to assume they'll go for some flashy FCS coach. Whatever they're doing right now isn't working. If I were them, I wouldn't go for some retread, e.g. Will Muschamp. Need a spark in Storrs.

Similar to the Whitesox success with Tony LaRussa, I don't hate the idea of going to an experienced candidate. I've always subscribed to the "old bull vs. young calf" phenomenon. What's Mark Funk up to these days? He had success everywhere he went, I think he's ready for a chance at being head coach.

They are a delusional bunch over there...any "hot up and coming coach" will not want to go to that dumpster fire unless they overpay. They either need to take a coach needing to rehab an image or a FCS or lower coach looking to take a chance. If they pony up some money maybe they can steal away a G5 coach but kinda doubtful.

Like about all the New England teams, they're footballers in lacrosse country. Fan interest is hard to come by, especially when the team has been down so long and the stadium they use is 20 miles away from campus. They've managed to schedule a few home games that could boost attendance -- Purdue and Houston this year, BC and Syracuse next year, Duke and NC State in '23 -- but most of their home games are still against G5 teams from the south, midwest and west that average fans would show little interest in. Most of their "name" opponents over the next few years -- Clemson, Michigan, Tennessee, O$U -- seem to be money road games or part of a b-ball deal. Getting a quality coach might be tough.

The days of the somebody like Jamey Chadwell (sp?) winning tons of games at a school that was not even a blip on the radar a few years ago jumping on the first good paying rebuild gig out of town is ancient history. UConn would have to empty a Brinks truck to pull that off.

I think it will be a re-tread or maybe a hungry young coordinator.
