When Randy Edsall left to become the head coach at the University of Maryland, UConn football was sent into a spiraling descent. Fresh of the one and only BCS bowl game in the program’s history, the Huskies spent the next six years struggling under the leadership of head coaches Paul Pasqualoni and Bob Diaco.
UConn had a combined record of 24-49 since Edsall’s departure, and in an attempt to right the ship, they looked to the man who made UConn football relevant in the first place.
Edsall’s contract situation is weird to begin with. He hasn’t signed his contract yet due to the pending case regarding his son Corey being on staff.
