Randy Edsall is head football coach at the University of Connecticut. He was named the 28th head football coach at the University of Connecticut on December 21, 1998 & led the Huskies from Division I-AA into Division I-A. UConn was the first school to ever make this move and also become a member of the Bowl Championship Series, as a member of the Big East. In 2004, he led the Huskies to the first bowl game in school history, the Motor City Bowl, which UConn won by defeating Toledo 39-10.
Randy Edsall is also a protege of current New York Giants Head Coach, Tom Coughlin. Edsall played for Coughlin at Syracuse University and later coached under him at Syracuse, Boston College and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Randy Edsall's older brother is also the well known NCAA Basketball referee, Duke Edsall.
In 2007, the Huskies were picked in the pre-season Big East Coaches Poll to finish 7th, however they ended up tying for the conference championship with West Virginia, and earned a trip to the Meineke Car Care Bowl. After the season, Edsall went to Georgia Tech to discuss the coaching vacancy at their school but decided to stay with Connecticut.
He has a wife, Eileen, and two children, Alexi & Corey. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, where he was a backup quarterback and later offensive coordinator.
He has recently been rumored to be a possible candidate to take over as head coach at Syracuse University after current head coach Greg Robinson was fired on November 16, 2008.
