Wow ... that was quick.

Change of plans: Randy Edsall out immediately as UConn football coach; Lou Spanos takes over

A day after UConn football coach Randy Edsall announced his decision to retire at the end of the season, he and AD David Benedict met and decided not to wait. Edsall will step aside immediately, to be replaced by defensive coordinator Lou Spanos.

I'm impressed. I wonder if he has a clause in his contract for this.

 

[Hoo's That]

Does the firing trigger any bonuses in his contract?


I'll show myself out.

Guess this needs to be here now...

Yes I believe that is the retire before Clemson puts triple digits on you bonus.

Someone there posted that the rumor is Edsall announced his retirement publicly without telling the AD. Which is absolutely hysterical….and completely predictable.

So in review he’s left UConn twice.
1) first by hoping on a plane and not telling his team
2) second time by announcing it on Twitter

if there is a bigger a-hole in sports, I dont know who it is.

So how big is the bonus for leaving early?

Coyle deserves a statue for ignoring what so many "in the know" Syracuse people wanted

I never thought anything would be worse than when Pitt tried to bring back Johnny Majors in the 90s, and somehow ended up just as bad as Rutgers and Temple.

A real hold my beer moment for UConn.

Gets the full $1.2 million of this year's salary.

People wanted this tool in 2015? I must have blocked that out of my mind at the time because I can’t stand Edsall

Getting to leave is the ultimate bonus

What percent of the UCONN football athletics budget is Edsall's buyout? 50%? 60%?

I took a look at UConn's football board. Lots of delusional folks. I'm too lazy to register there, but if I could post, my choice for their next coach would be "Someone who isn't afraid of committing career suicide".
