Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 3467075, member: 1312"] UConn was a solid football program under Randy Edsall and went downhill starting with the hiring of PP/GDL. The program was tanking under PP/GDL and then they made an even worse hire in Bob Diaco. Their decline is similar to the decline of Syracuse football after PP was fired with 4 winning seasons over the past 15 years. It all comes down to the hiring of the head coach. Heck, Randy Edsall would have been a better hire than Greg Robinson. Bottom line is that there have been a number of great college coaches from the Northeast that were never hired by Syracuse, UConn, and Rutgers (although some were probably not coming to the three schools) and they paid the price. Look at some of the coaches from the Northeast: Brian Kelly, Chip Kelly, Dan Mullen, Ryan Day, Pat Narduzzi, Dave Clawson, Kirk Ferentz, Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher, [/QUOTE]
