Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 198394, member: 204"] You should read the book "Three and Out" detailing RRs time at Michigan. I think you will learn that much of what happened there was beyond his control - that he was unfairly attacked by many inside and outside the school. There are some important differences with Edsall. First, he is a much more abrasive guy than RR is. Second, he is not at one of the top five football schools in the USA. There is virtually no football tradition at MD. Third, he is not following a coach who won a NC or a legend like Bo Schembechler and fifth, does not face the pressure of having to become a "Maryland Man." I agree that he has alienated the Washington DC press and that will cause him some difficulty. But, he is a good coach and has recruited well so far. So, I think in the end he will survive this and have some success. But, who knows, you may be right - his abrasive ways may really hurt him. [/QUOTE]
