Wow Edsall extended 3yrs Who woulda thunk
Agree.His buyout is still 500k, so the extension was done more so for recruiting purposes. just saw on sb nation twitter
At UConn he was a poor recruiter because of where he was at.Edsall is a poor recruiter historically, but he's had some good wins through the years including a couple vs us and some other good teams.
Isn't a buyout what it would cost other teams? Schools don't have buyouts they usually negotiate guarantees. I doubt if Maryland wanted to fire him next season it would only cost them 500k. Edsall would be a moron to sign that as he makes over 2 million a year and had years left.With the new contract, Edsall's buyout was lowered from $2m to $500k, so this is a big win for everyone involved IMO

LOL. Yeah - well just take the $150 million we have sitting around in the bank vaults and throw it at having a marginally better FB team. Good plan.Maryland has done a huge facility upgrade on campus with an indoor practice facility that dwarfs what RU has and that will help Edsall be a more effective recruiter. From a facilities perspective if RU wants to run with the big dogs we need to stop pissing with the puppies.

Ok, so basically they gave him a one year raise and an additional 500k before they can him.No, the buyout is paid by UMD in the case that they want to fire Edsall before his contract expires. Though the buyout was lowered from 2m to 500k, Edsall's salary was increased along with the extension. Not to mention the new buyout doesn't go into effect until after next year, so he likely wouldn't be fired until the end of the 2016 season in that case (year #1 with Haskins).
He should thank Haskins
I wouldn't knock Edsall's recruiting since he went to Maryland, but couldn't brag about his recruiting either.
He's getting better as a recruiter since he has 3 of the top 10 in Maryland already and the WR Diggs will be at least 4 top 10 recruits. They are number 6 so far in recruiting in the Big Ten and we are number 10. Maryland has more 4 stars than NJ and I noticed the last few years recruiting wise, he going to have all 4 stars on the OL starters.Im liking it for us. Maryland is like us I think. With the right coach they could reruit pretty fiercely. Or they could get a great on field coach and beat us regularly. Or both. I dont think Edsall is a great coach nor is he a great recruiter.
MadHat,
Edsall went to Syracuse, he graduated high school in York Pennsylvania and had no relationship to the university of maryland before becoming the head coach there
Smart move...recruiting was not what they hoped...like us they keep coming in second place with big targets. W/O Locksley he would have been long gone...RE is NOT a good recruiter.Wow Edsall extended 3yrs Who woulda thunk
Not only is he not a good recruiter,....he was losing the good players he had until he was forced to accept Mike "Super recruit" Locksley by the admins a couple yrs ago...he was considered a bust hire. UConn could have told the admins that as far as recruiting!!! Coaching UR talent is his strength."I wouldn't knock Edsall's recruiting since he went to Maryland, but couldn't brag about his recruiting either."
Went to Maryland was as their HC is what I meant, maybe worded it in a way that could be taken wrong.
Never been known as recruiting whiz...2 star coach ups and we can thank him for an all ACC OT who transfered here his Sr yr a couple yrs ago. Mike LoX saved his job!!I was on and joined Testudo times and saw how many recruits they were losing and extended.At UConn he was a poor recruiter because of where he was at.
But was able to get his players to be competitive, most years, in the BE.
As Maryland's HC he seems to be doing a better job recruiting talent there, but can't be considered a top recruiter.
Randy does get some good ones (4*), some average ones (3*)and some of the kids we call under the radar here ,
if they aren't rated 3*.
I wouldn't knock Edsall's recruiting since he went to Maryland, but couldn't brag about his recruiting either.
It's Randy's coaching that might be subject to criticism, even if he did a fairly good job at UConn after his 4-8 2006 season

Doubt is was him? Heard Haskins though is recruiting a "dream team" for HIM. Haskins has a top Twenty hit list listed our recent commit OT Eli Johnson...we got him!Can't say he's a bad recruiter. the dude did pull haskins. We haven't had a QB recruit like that ever
will beat us in everything else EXCEPT WBB.Rutgers will own them in Football and Wrestling... and they will beat us in everything else.
Have you seen their class this year? It'sEdsall is a poor recruiter historically, but he's had some good wins through the years including a couple vs us and some other good teams.
You hit it.Im liking it for us. Maryland is like us I think. With the right coach they could reruit pretty fiercely. Or they could get a great on field coach and beat us regularly. Or both. I dont think Edsall is a great coach nor is he a great recruiter.
Edsall's recruiting is aided immensely by QB coach, Mike Locksley.
He's not Doug Marrone...hes smart enough to know he needed locksley and basically be a decent HC. Too bad DM didnt know that....now he was a better coach but too stubborn to pander.I have never understood why everyone on this board rags on edsall all the time. The guy is not that bad. He has a better resume than anyone who has ever coached at rutgers. He is not saban, but he has done a good job.
Have you seen their class this year? It's
Impressive
There class is only 32st? I think were around Fortieth? I'll take our chances with mostly good 3's and maybe a couple 4's later. Flash at the top but NO DEPTH.Very top heavy. As many 2*s as 3 and 4 combined right now. But they do have some nice players at the top of the class.
