EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Randy Edsall, the most successful coach in Connecticut football history, is returning to try to right the Huskies’ ship for the second time.
Edsall, who coached UConn for 12 seasons in his previous stint but departed for Maryland after the 2010 season without first telling his players, was introduced as the Huskies’ coach Friday morning. He agreed to a five-year contract with an annual base salary of $400,000 and additional compensation that would bring his pay to more than $1 million a year.
“It didn’t take long once they asked me to be the coach to say yes,” Edsall, 58, said.
