“I think the biggest thing for the University of Maryland is time,” Poggi said. “Don’t be impatient with this guy. Everybody’s coming into Maryland to get talent. Be patient, because those kids won’t leave in two or three years. Nobody’s going to be able to come in and get them. Nobody. Let this guy develop his system. Give him five years. When you do, Maryland is going to be dynamite.
“The Maryland people ought to be thrilled. If they do something stupid, like if they’re 4-8 and they panic, it will set everything back with the state kids.”
I don't mean to keep re-hashing the Edsall argument. Really. I know no one is going to change their minds at this point.
But this is exactly what I have been saying. Edsall is a builder. He spent much of last year working hard, trying to lay the groundwork and build relationships with local coaches and schools. He has a long-term view in mind. This is what he does.
You can make the case that burning the team to the ground wasn't necessary, and while I do not agree, I can understand that argument. But what's done is done. Time to move forward and show some support for this program.
