If you didn't click yet - do yourself a favor and save four minutes.

No disrespect to HM but that's like reading a 5th grade book report.

Took you 4 minutes to read that?

This commentary is nothing new.......just reinforces what many have said before and we already knew or should have known.

Same things were often said about UConn FB when it played at the 1-aa level.......and it took over 15 years for Tom Jackson and Skip Holtz to turn that program around

 

[Husky92]

Yeah, it was nothing new, but certainly worth 4 minutes. Until summer practice begins we don't have much else to read.

 

[Bonehead]

4 minutes was a stretch...

...all the anticipation for opening game and he predicts 3-9 - ugh.

 

[freescooter]

3-9 is one of the better predictions I've seen. I've seen far more "another 2-10 season" and I personally think 1-11 is possible. I think this will be another dreary season which will put Diaco on the hot seat. He won't be fired but he will need to produce next year right out of the gate. Though if we lose to Villanova and Army it's possible he doesn't survive this year. I see one of those as the win. And this is the first time since 2002 I've predicted a losing season. This program has beaten my optimism into the ground.

Good analysis by that guy... My hope is we'll know what we're doing this year... on the OL primarily... we were outclassed by every team on our schedule last year, save the UCF game... I count Stony Brook on the outclassed list because we shoulda blew that team out, no question... we were a complete mess... The thing that encourages me about what we have on OL is we have some live game experience there now in HCBD system... no excuses... That 8 to 10 men in the box crap, we should make some of the teams (if not all) on our schedule who are considered a little lesser in talent pay... my opinion... I still haven't completely let go of who/what we were prior to PP and now Diaco... we just didn't look prideful enough on the field last year. We looked lost... As a Bleed Blue fan I just don't see that happening again this year... half glass full here... we start making amends this year...

He lost cred with me when he called Byron a combine/workout warrior.

Really hoping 'Alec Broom' can step up at tight end

I am hoping he will sweep the fans off their feet...

Seems to me like coaches make their biggest improvements from year 1 to year 2....hoping this is the case with Diaco and the Huskies
