If he talks more nonsense but the coaching gets better then he can talk all he wants, that's not the important part.
Now Diaco's getting clowned on Deadspin:

What a gigantic sack of BS. If coaching improves, you and your brethren of head hunters will bellyache even louder about what he says to the media. All you care about is "being right", and if the team improves, that's the one argument you have that Diaco is harming the program. We could go 15-0 as UConnDan97 suggests and you would still be whipping out your pitchfork over some offhand comment he made.
Also I understand concerns about recruiting, but you could not have articulated yours more poorly. You don't write any recruiting class off as a failure until it sees the field, no matter how angry you are at the coach that brought the kids in.
Sure thing giant beer.
I've been a UConn football season ticket holder about as long as you've been alive.
I've been to godforsaken places like Newark DE, N. Kingston RI and Amherst MA for 1-AA games.
That you've decided anyone who criticizes Diaco cares more about being right than the program might be about the least accurate thing that has ever been written here and that is saying something.
Change UCF to KATE UPTON and rivalry to boyfriend/girlfriend and you kind of get a sense that BD is a a little creepy:
Whether (KATE UPTON) honors it, I will honor it, I don't have control over that so who cares. She doesn't get to say whether she is my girlfriend or not. I might not be her boyfriend but she doesn't get to say whether she is my girlfriend, that is for me to decide. For me it is pretty clean and clear because those are things we have control over. For me it is exciting, it is fun. If you embrace it you embrace it, if you don't you don't. There was nothing before so if you don't embrace it there would still be nothing. If you do even a little bit it is more energetic and exciting. For me that is what [weird ass stalking] is.
"Why do I have to call her to say that I've targeted her as my girlfriend, period. What control over that would she have? What do I care what she thinks? If they doesn't want to wear my friendship bracelet, I don't care about that either.
I'm talking specifically to one individual. His name is not whaler11. In an earlier post, I mentioned a group of people who have been connected to the program for a long time with well-founded, legitimate criticisms of Diaco based on tangible observations. You were included in that group, and as such I tend to take it much more seriously when someone such as yourself brings up criticism.
You are not the jack@$$ who has brayed "I'm right, and you're wrong!" about Diaco ad nauseam here, giving some of us the impression that that particular poster does care more about being right than the program. But that refers to just that particular poster, not all critics of Diaco. You are not patting yourself on the back because he did not succeed this year, and you are not boasting about predicting his poor performance. If I had a problem with something you said on this topic, I would quote the post and refer to points that you yourself made specifically.
My apologies for jumping on you.
You said brethren which sounded like multiple people.
I understand not liking his tone or attitude - but two things:
1. I'm pretty sure he'd like to be proven wrong.
2. There is a chance even if some don't want to accept it that he is completely right.

and have more facial hair.UCF is not Kate Upton. UCF is the slightly cute girl who works at the concession stand who looks better because all of her coworkers are fat dudes.
2. I'll grant you that, but to have that much certainty and cockiness one season in is very off-putting. This is way too early for anyone to make a judgement, no matter what side of the issue they're on.
Stairmaster is like Sports Art.
Criticize the coach and you get ridiculed. HCBD does come off as a whackadoodle (love that term.)
