Bob Diaco

[Chin Diesel]

This is the next step/question here. Will our current recruits still commit? Namely, will Newsome stay

If anyone who committed to PP decommits because of Diaco, I say good riddance.

 

[minidarren]

I can see TJ staying if Diaco wants him.

Text to very connected and loyal ND fan friend: "Is this Bob Diaco fellow any good? Response: "Yes, very."

 

[noeynox]

My wife approves. "He is fine". Ill go to games to see him. Me: he ain't. Better looking than P!

Diaco is a very engaging and charismatic guy. He'll crush the presser and UConn boosters will love him.

He is neither engaging nor charismatic. But we shall see . . .

It makes sense for him to stay. Didn't they coach together at some point?

Bust out the smoke from the chimney and the little dude speaking latin from the balcony.

This is a great hire.

Does this make another UCONN game in South Bend a possibility?

I'm extremely happy about this hire. I have to say that I had a slightly ill feeling in my stomach when it was reported that we got Lembo, although I would have supported him (that goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways).

But the Diaco hire says a lot of things:

1) We are going to go after top-notch people in football, which means we give a about the team and the fanbase.
2) He is the type of guy with the type of energy that could be here for many years to come.
3) Warde is making sound football decisions (or at least in my opinion), as I had faith that he would. It's his area of expertise, and it showed.
4) The university is probably willing to pay in order to get him away from ND and other schools. (goes back to #1)

Great hire. Feeling really good about the future...

Was Nutsack Narduzzi even number 1? Did Warde play us all? Is he actually in the Virgin Islands?

UConn: Sources tell us Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco will be the new head coach at UConn. Sources tell us the deal is being papered now and will be official later tonight.

could pass as Genos little brother!

 

[MattMang23]

duck* yeah Warde!!

So excited about this hire

 

[ruskin]

No idea who this tweeter is but sums up the day pretty well

Less than an hour ago, Dad & I laughed about Narduzzi turning down UConn. Diaco to UConn is karmic retribution. Sorry, friends.

 

[Dooley]

Warde hit a friggin' home run with this hire.

 

[cttxus]

I'm very HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY . . . for my alma mater. THIS IS A GREAT HIRE for UConn. It feels right on so many levels. Nice job Warde and team!

 

[The Viking]

Ollie, Cavanaugh and Diaco. I know Ollie needs an asterick next to it, but not a bad year of hires all things considered. Actually a pretty damn good year.

He was probably Plan B. When Diaco agreed in principle, they then allowed Narduzzi appear to be the turner-downer.

Or maybe, not. Just a WAG on my part (wild-ass guess).

I like the hire, and much happier that it's him than TJ...but before we call him charismatic, I'd implore you to watch a few of his Youtube interviews...

The Broyles award speech was great though. He might just need to practice speeches more than give interviews. Seems like he may have had a stutter at a younger age.

Looks like it's a good guess.

 

[tbabe72]

F* yeah Warde!!

So excited about this hire

Way to go Warde!Someone young and chomping at the bit.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Perhaps it's possible that Narduzzi withdrew when it became apparent Diaco was the guy? Then MSU's people leaked all of the info about him withdrawing? Probably not, but I suppose it's possible.

 

[UConn Dan]

@NDmom: @KevinNathanNBC heard Diaco to Uconn is a done deal. The team will love him. The ND guys did.

That's golics wife/ mom
