Syracuse Orange AD Daryl Gross announced this afternoon that he was firing head football coach Greg Robinson with 2 games to go in the season. Robinson will stay on to coach those final 2 games.
In 3+ years with the Orange, Robinson had a record of 9-36 and was 3-25 in Big East competition.
Why is this important to UConn fans. Well the rumors now will start to fly about Randy Edsall going to coach his alma mater. For the record, Edsall really didn’t have much to say.
“I don’t talk about personnel issues and never will,” Edsall said. “I’m just concerned about coaching this football team here and making them better and just getting focused for South Florida [Sunday night] and that’s it.”
“I don’t talk about personnel issues as I’ve just said . I’m just focused with this team, trying to make us better and do the things that I can to make our team the best we can and I’m just focused on South Florida.”
The Syracuse Post-Standard says that Edsall is very interested in the job. Just like we did last year with the Georgia Tech opening, we can expect the rumors to run rampant over the rest of the season.
