Interest wasn't concocted...he was in the final 2 with Ash for RU job.I'm only half kidding. He took a coach who went 6-7 in a G5 conference, saw a new AD in the mix, concocted some interest in Diaco from outside and parlayed that into some serious guaranteed money.
Got to give credit where it's due. He took Benedict to school.

My knowledge of what happened..he was a surprise finalist keeping things VERY quiet..may have actually over negotiated which gave the job to Ash. UConn wanted to keep him around not realizing that this would turn from promising to train wreck. Imagine how great it would have been if UConn was able to dump him and his mess on RU..Honestly did not know that. It makes me think a little more highly of Benedict as he would have stepped into a tough spot to make that call. That said, Diaco had proven very little to that point and he got serious guaranteed coin before proving he was the real deal ( or at least wasn't an idiot).
Didn't BD' s agent take Warde to task and then Warde & Susan sold it to DB when he came in?????I'm only half kidding. He took a coach who went 6-7 in a G5 conference, saw a new AD in the mix, concocted some interest in Diaco from outside and parlayed that into some serious guaranteed money.
