Another flattering story about the coach. Also mentions how he told Jordan Todman to stand up in front of the team and tell them he was leaving for the NFL draft after the Fiesta Bowl. Meanwhile, Edsall didn't even fly back with the team and took the Maryland job the next day.

 

Can't disagree that Edsall seems like a douche.

But Doyel himself admits that he might look like a hypocrite after somewhat defending Phil Martelli in much the same situation. And he's right. He does look like a hypocrite.

 

Speaking of Maretelli, someone at UAB put his picture in every urinal last night.

 

Yup, UAB could use O'Brien's 4 points and 6 rebounds a game right now.

 

Doyel nailed this one. And John Feinstein is probably ready to pounce - again.

Keep in mind that Maryland fired the reigning ACC Coach of the Year in Ralph Friedgen to bring in this winner.

 

I'm sure smarter people than me can answer this, but what is the reasoning between scholarships being one-year contracts, and yet a student-athlete can't transfer without permission of his program to the school of his choice, even with his having to sit out a year? Maybe a program should be able to create two lists for an outgoing transfer: the list where he can play immediately and the list that demands sitting out a year.

Always pleased to see injustice exposed.
Well done.

 

I don't know why kids can't play immediately after a transfer (something about keeping them in their place, I'm sure) but schools basically do what you suggested. They give the kid a list of places he/she is allowed to transfer, and a list where he/she is not. Usually ADs don't want kids following the former coach, or going to a local rival where they can haunt the former school for a year or two or three.

 

This is just petty on Edsall's part. Vanderbilt provides no threat to him or Maryland. He's just being a twat for the sake of being a twat. Funny part is, when Edsall gets fired at Maryland, which he ultimately will, it will be an old boss that probably gives him another shot, just like Franklin was offering for O'Brien.

 

Edsall is a jackass. Worst college football hire since Syracuse hired Robinson.

 

Doyel's late to the party.

Sally Jenkins already raked Edsall over the coals.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Isn't Edsall already in his mid-50s? He's probably headed for Kotite territory, deservedly so. At least Kotite seemed to be an OK guy.
