This is interesting. #UConnNation #AmIRight?



Why Knoxville radio station? Am I missing something? Series dates with Tennessee have been rescheduled and announcement today? Going to SEC (lol!)? Or just brand building?

Interesting to hear Coach Diaco talk about Billy Williams. Sounds like its questionable if he will be with the program moving forward...

Yeah, that was about the "worse (for lack of a better term)" way you could talk about a hometown kid to a radio station 800 miles away. Doesn't sound like there is a future.

Right, and I don't think you even bring it up if its likely that he would be with the program. Too bad.

Knoxville radio announcers also mention Tennessee home and home series down the road. Interesting, I was under the impression the series had to be rescheduled by sometime last fall or it would be cancelled. Would have thought a sports talk show in Knoxville would know that?

Did he actually mention that we'll be playing Oklahoma this season? Not once but twice. Big 12 on the brain.

He mentioned that Oklahoma was on one of the American teams OOC schedule then proceeded to repeat and specifically say Houston is playing them.

"Life phase change" sounds like a maturity/commitment scenario. If anything - Diaco usually doesn't say something without specific intent in scenarios like this... wonder if he was trying to send a message to BW that he needs to kick it up a notch whether it's behavior, academics or conditioning based?

No time to listen. Can anyone summarize the general tone? How did he come across? Was there any fan participation (calls?). Were people asking about UConn football at all?

Without having heard a word of the interview, I can tell you with complete certainty that his tone was positive and energetic, grounded in reality but still optimistic. He came across as a really sharp, motivated man that will lead his football team on the journey from young men to mature adults. One day at a time. He is committed to the University of Connecticut, and unwavering in his resolve to do things the right way.

Because that's like every Diaco interview, right? He is just the best coach we've ever had...
