As a businessman, love Diaco's strategic orientation

[Skiblets]

Just watched the presser. Vision, outcome goals, process goals, prioritization and a relenteless focus on executing on those. That is how you build a successful organization. I'm ten toes in

A home run from the marketing perspective. Telegenic, marketable, you can easily picture his face on billboards, etc. Hope he's at the Stanford men's hoop game next week to make some remarks to the crowd, head up into student section, etc.

Will be interested to see how much BD wants to get involved on the marketing side. Spring game will be a good test. I'll bet he won't start with the offense starting in the shadow of its own goal line.

It is simply breathtaking the difference between the Jan. 2011 hire and this one.

Show me any fan base coming off 3 dismal seasons that just hired a new coach that does not embrace the coach as being the cure for all of its ills? Don't get me wrong, attitude, energy and enthusiasm Diaco is showing is 100% on target and what is needed. But game day coaching, recruiting and winning is all that matters going forward. Let's hope he is more Mike Gundy and not Lane Kiffin and his words translate into performance.

This. I like the hire. And he's done everything you would hope for on his first day on the job. Energized the fanbase, created buzz, and won the press conference.

Now......recruit and win games.

I am curious why the obvious always has to be stated. It kind of protects people, so they can say I was all for him when he came here, but like I said, he needed to win and recruit and he didn't.

Of course he has to win and recruit. Every coach needs to. It's like having a hot date and saying before hand to your friends..."I hope she puts out and then doesn't spend the night"...really no need to say it.....it's just a given.

Compare your gut reaction to circumstances of PP hire and BD hire.

That is all.

Except it's most often not a given. Refer to the endless posts about not handing TJ the job and the people who took that as some sort of disparagement towards him.

There are entire organizational systems that do nothing but state the obvious. Safety is the obvious example. They are there not because these things aren't obvious, but because the obvious has a tendency to slip out of your primary focus. A weakness of human stamina or discipline.

{SIGH} I hope this freaking works.

Know what? This guy looks like he might have a little sumpthin, sumpthin.

I like the hot ones to stay. It's the pigs I bring home that I want out before sunrise.
