We didn't recruit FL then.
Edsall got players with no other BCS offers and turned them into draft picks. He had 5 guys drafted one year & 3 guys a couple of times.
If he gets us back to where we were beating ND in South Bend, South Carolina in SEC country, UofL multiple times, sweeping RG3 & Briles in 2 games, whipping winning the conference every 3 or so years, I'll be happy.

When Edsall was in charge, Uconn could recruit on relatively Even terms with Syracuse, BC, Rutgers and Maryland for players in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Now, Uconn gets their scraps.
Diaco was a solid coach, but he couldn't overcome a lack of talent - particularly on offense.
Edsall is a decent coach, but do you seriously expect him to build an offense that is competitive in the AAC!

For example, Edsall was the only guy to offer Byron Jones and I specifically remember that the local recruiting "guru" said that Jones might not be athletic enough to compete in the BE.
Here's Edsall's 2008 class http://www.espn.com/college-sports/foot ... class/2008
5 guys got drafted - 4 of which did not even get rated. Wreh WIlson, Williams, Todman, Sio Moore Dwayne Gratz.
