I'm as hate-filled as you about Edsall, but I'm not sure that was the only reason he was brought in. Fridge had a notoriously low graduation rate, and, believe it or not, Maryland is trying to increase its emphasis on academics. Maybe that's just a bullcrap story, but I've heard it.
Still, I liked Fridge and I'm sorry he's gone.
As poorly as I feel about Edsall, I'm positive about Turgeon.
Fridge's lesser talent did a good job of winning games- I'm not a Maryland fan, I liked fridge, and now I enjoy watching them flounder because they somehow thought they were better than they are and jettisoned a good coach because he wasn't bringing in enough revenue only to replace him with a guy who has the stadium emptier
