A few days later, here are some of my thoughts on the hiring of Randy Edsall:
1) I think a lot of the anger shown by the fan base towards Kevin Anderson was for the wrong reasons. It seemed that fans were disgruntled because Kevin Anderson “fired Fridge to hire Edsall.” This is not the case. Kevin Anderson fired Fridge because he felt it was the right time for Fridge to go. After the 2009 season, most (if not … Read More »
Coach Randy Edsall’s first moves were winners in my eyes–keeping Defensive Coordinator Don Brown and Wide receivers coach Lee Hull.
Sorry, I can never forget the whipping Beamer put on his best friend Ralph Friedgen 55-6 several years back. So yes I enjoyed every second of watching Stanford destroy the Hokies. By the way where was Hokie Nation–the Orange Bowl seemed empty!!!
As I said when I watched Stanford annhilate Cal a few months ago, Jim Harbaugh is the best coach in the nation and whoever is 2nd is so far back we can’t see him. There is no … Read More »
Embedded below is the audio from Randy Edsall’s introductory press conference today. I’ll have some thoughts and analysis on the presser over the next few days, but if you didn’t get to catch the broadcast on TerpsTV, take a listen to the audio below. The audio cuts out with about 5 minutes left in the press conference as there wasn’t enough space on my recorder (my apologies!).
1-3-11 Edsall Press Conference by joshf823
Everything about Randy’s first presser was positive today. He spoke only of ACC championships as judgment criteria for the football team. He genuinely seems ecstatic about being here. There’s just not much to say–Anderson was hired as AD to fill vacant posts and he alone (according to him) should be held responsible for the decision. Randy surely is qualified for the job. I ilked how he handled himself with the press. Chick Hernandez spoke of the uproar of Terrapin nation … Read More »
If that is the case then I am pretty sure I know who it is but………………..I will wait. Hopefully we will have the news on Koons Ford Terp Talk tomorrow night.
This virtually has never been a game. ECU is overmatched everywhere. Like I predicted Md has played with a chip on it’s shoulder. Throughout the game chants of Ralph have echoed through RFK.
Maryland opened up with a bomb to Dorsey that was intercepted. But that has been about the only mistake on offense.
ECU must have thrown 15 short 5yard passes in the 1st half none of which worked.
David Mackall had an int that led to 1 of 4 … Read More »
If you are wondering why this is my prediction.
1) East Carolina has one of the worst records in Division 1.
2) The players truely love Ralph and will win it for him.
3) Danny O’Brien has been as hot as a firecracker and will continue oday.
4) Torrie Smith
5) After watching NC State win their bowl (Champs) the Terps have to have a chip on its shoulder.
6) Look for Da’Rel Scott to have a big game today. … Read More »
According to agent Leigh Steinberg, SMU Head Coach June Jones”turned down riches to continue building SMU FB program.” Jones would have been an interesting but dicey choice. Jones made Hawaii’s pass offense famous.
