Coaching career

Connecticut

Edsall was named the 27th 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.
