Is there a single measurable improvement of Diaco's first four games compared to T.J. Weist's last 4? I think Warde picked the wrong horse.
It is a legitimate question. Is Diaco in the kearning curve Weist had last year?STFU.

I was a big proponent of TJ becoming the next HC. Im not against the Diaco hire, but TJ had the momentum with this team.
The defense looks good. Diaco came in as a defensive coordinator and knows defense. The offense is what it is - bad offensive line and a very thin QB depth chart that may have gotten thinner tonight somehow.
That said, I have no idea WTF we all watched tonight. 57 minutes of runs up the middle and punts against the 102nd ranked pass defense then BLAM-O! an all-too-easy 5 play drive in about a minute...THROUGH THE AIR...to score a very easy touchdown. It really seems like Diaco was playing to cover the 3.5 tonight and that's it.
You do realize if there was 12 minutes left, that TD drive doesn't happen. That was a prevent defense. The sideline passes were gimmes.
Poppycock. USF had the 102nd ranked pass defense against a weak schedule of their own. I'm not saying we should have thrown the ball like we have Tom Brady under center. I'm just saying just a bit more diversity was needed. You can't win when you're one dimensional. And we weren't even one dimensional tonight.
How many drives did we start inside our 15? With the way the OL was blocking....c'mon. The first series blind sided fumble told you what to expect.
Diaco is full of crap.
If UConn loses tomorrow, I'll streak at the Temple game. Right as the players are running out of the tunnel I'll be running right beside them.
I was expecting a more positive thread, about improvement, but nope
I'm troubled but willing to give him time.
Here's what happened tonight. Our horrendous offensive line made a ton of drive killing mistakes in the first quarter. After the Whitmer fumble the head coach and OC panicked because this line gave up something crazy like 16 sacks last week. So their solution was to completely abandon the pass. What they should have done was incorporate some quick slants and short passes. It took us to be down by 10 with less than 2 minutes to go for them to find the courage to try this. We all know what happened when they did.
I'm troubled because it seems like he is learning how to be a head coach on the job. This is natural since he's never been a head coach. The problem is our reputation can't handle the losses while he learns.
Losing Weist as OC really hurt the program but that's just how the cookie has crumbled for this program over the last 4 years. Whether it's our best QB retiring, our 2nd best WR transferring or our best offensive coach in a decade leaving to sit at home....our offense has been snake bitten.
Another first time HC mistake....he should have surrounded himself with better people on offense. Should have convinced Weist to stay a year. Half of us knew we needed to hit the quick slants. Why didn't they? I want to know who's decision it was to completely abandon the pass? If Diaco is to blame I hope he learned something from that stupid ish.
