UConn football coach Randy Edsall announces retirement, effective at season's end, after loss to FCS Holy Cross

Four years into a second stint at UConn that hasn't gone nearly as well as the first, Randy Edsall announced on Sunday that he will retire at the end of this season.

The announcement comes roughly 24 hours after the Huskies lost to Holy Cross, an FCS program, dropping to 0-2 on the season. Their other loss was 45-0 to Fresno State.

UConn, which did not play football last season due to COVID-19, is 6-32 under Edsall since 2017. And that's a far cry from the success he experienced his first time around with the Huskies.

He once led the program from Division I-AA into Division I-A, now known as the FBS, becoming a fixture during bowl season along the way.
