Message: [QUOTE="kemba, post: 5308312, member: 1133"] PP was the worst hire. He took over the program at its peak, underachieved, and then drove us into the ground. We should have been very desirable but settled for a guy who hasn’t been a head coach in years, and had already seemed to be having the game pass him by last time he was a coach. And we hired him for reasons such as he’s a Connecticut guy, the high school coaches love him, and we dont think he’ll leave us for another job. While diaco was on paper a good hire as far as being a young energetic up and comer, I do push back on the idea that there was no way to anticipate the crazy. We had concerns about him before he coached a game just from preseason press conferences, those concerns should have come up in an in depth interview process. He had been passed over for a few jobs before, there’s a reason for that. Edsall was atrocious but my understanding is financially our hands were tied. And given moras immediate success it appears his long term rebuild was at least starting to show some positives. Not in any way suggesting he would have been successful if we gave him more time or that what he did was the right decision though [/QUOTE]
