Sources said Edsall had become more vocal about pending stricter admission guidelines at UConn that will affect the football program.
Maryland, a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, has strict guidelines as well but Edsall may have a better chance of at least working with officials at Maryland.
At UConn, the source said, he had no shot to "work with" anyone. There are currently players on other Big East football teams that could not meet UConn's academic standards
A source confirmed that former Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer is interested in the UConn job. Fulmer, 60, was 152-52 from 1992 to 2008 and led the Volunteers to the national title in 1998. Fullmer, now a TV analyst, was known as one of the best recruiters in the country while at UT but he was gone after a 5-7 season in 2008.
