UConn football assistant Corey Edsall will coach the Huskies for the 2017 season but then will need to vacate his position after the state of Connecticut’s office of ethics determined his father Randy, announced as head coach on December 28, improperly arranged for his son’s job and negotiated terms on his behalf.
Communications between Randy and UConn Athletics Assistant AD Beth Goetz took place on January 1 regarding Corey’s role, which was stipulated in the head coach’s contract.
Edsall and UConn contend he started on January 3rd, which may make the arrangement okay, but the ethics office feels otherwise.
