Bob Diaco is Back

[DoctorWho85]

Way better then coach P also… for a while it was fun having Diaco here… he was the crazy coach at Uconn… his quotes were making it on espn… but after a while .. it wasn’t much fun

Had P hired literally anyone but DeLeone at OC, it would have been a hugely different tenure the first 2 seasons. He did still recruit well, but DeLeone derailed the whole program.

He'd look good in purple pants.

I think the agreement was that he has to wear the Robin costume

OMGosh!!!! I thought it meant Red Pants was coming back to US !!!!

Right? Scared the crap out of me!

Go red, or go dead.

6 paychecks and buyouts now?

 

[thatguyed]

How many programs are still on the hook and paying him?

 

[Hondo 77]

In all fairness, everybody thought he was a great hire.

In all fairness, everybody thought he was a great hire.

I don't think "everybody" thought his hire was great. I wanted an offensive minded coach.

I think everyone was ok with it because of his success at ND. But I don't remember most people thinking his hire was "great".

 

[Bongo Fury]

He was hired because Narduzzi turned down the job

 

[Palatine]

In all fairness, everybody thought he was a great hire.

The media loved it because they over value Notre Dame. He got massive good press.

 

[History Geek]

In all fairness, everybody thought he was a great hire.

I loved it. I was very wrong.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I met him not too long after he was hired and saw how he thought he was the smartest guy in the room. I knew we were in trouble right there

He at least tried new things. Changing the kickers room into a repository for healthy snacks didn't catch on, but it was a try.
