Edsall, a nice narrative on him...(link)

towards the end of the post story: This is Connecticut's first year with the Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center — two additions that cost nearly $40 million and allowed the coaches and players to say goodbye to the trailers for good. Factor in the 40,000-seat Rentschler Field, and the Huskies finally have the resources to attract top recruits.¶But the improving academic standards at UConn have affected Edsall’s program drastically. He can no longer recruit the same players with the average UConn freshman scoring a 1200 on the SAT. So even with the new facilities, the question still remains whether or not blue chip recruits will finally make their way to Storrs.As for Edsall, the decision to come to UConn eight years ago was considered a large risk by many. But the man from Glen Rock has done what he's always done — turning a shaky situation into a success.¶"Randy is just a motivated person who wants to make himself and all those around him better," said Hathaway, now the athletic director at Connecticut. "I've been blessed to work with some very good coaches, and Randy is one of those guys. He has many years to coach, but I'm sure he'll leave his mark on college football."¶ I can see GT comparisons drawn here can't you? Just another O'Leary asst. who went on to a HC position. Say what you want about George, he is respected for his COACHINg and his protege's all did well for themselves(they were sought after IOW). One personal request Randy, bring back coach Spencer!
