UConn has announced that coach Randy Edsall will step down immediately as the football program's head coach. On Sunday, Edsall said he would retire at the end of the season. Defensive coordinator Lou Spanos will serve as interim head coach.
It's unclear what changed in the last 24 hours to expedite Edsall's exit, but an era in UConn abruptly came to an end after just two games into the season. This was Edsall's second stint with the Huskies. He went 74-70 at UConn from 1999 to 2010 before leaving for Maryland where he went 22-34.
Since returning in 2017, the Huskies are 6–32 with Edsall at the helm, including a 45-0 loss to Fresno State and a 38-28 loss to Holy Cross, an FCS school, to start the 2021 season.
