[edit]Coaching career
Edsall is 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, at Boston College, and with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2009, Edsall was mentioned in Notre Dame's search for a new head football coach following the firing of Charlie Weis.[3] On December 10, 2009, sources reported that Notre Dame had extended a contract offer to University of Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly.[4]
[edit]Connecticut
Edsall was named the 27th head football coach at the University of Connecticut on December 21, 1998 and 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.
In 2007, the Huskies were picked in the pre-season Big East Coaches Poll to finish seventh, however they ended up tying for the conference championship with West Virginia, and earned a trip to the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
On September 11, 2010, Edsall became the winningest coach in Connecticut football history when the Huskies defeated Texas Southern. His 67th victory placed him ahead of the 66 wins notched by J.O. Christian between 1934 and 1949.

Edsall resides in Glastonbury, Connecticut with his wife, Eileen, and two children, Lexi and Corey. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, where he was a backup quarterback and later offensive coordinator..
