Must have PMed someone else, I didn't get it. Glad to beat Rutgers to the punch though! And BC, I like Diaco a lot better than the Dazzler!

Pardon my aging memory Haha....yeah I think it was Ct Mike? I had you in my mind too but in the excitement I must have "forgot" ha ha..have you checked the RU rivals thread comments sec?Man their jealous!LOL...
 
If we got 3 wins in this cluster frick season, and Tulsa, Tulane and ECU are joining next year...how is it not possible to get 3 more wins?

An improving offense will more than cover a rebuilding defense.

A secret was exposed this year by TJ. We have a QB that is extremely accurate with the short and intermediate throws. A refurbished OL only needs to count to 3 before the ball gets released.

If we can't win 6 games next year in this league than Diaco pulled a PP (no pun intended) and did not take advantage of what we have and tried to rebuild something that just needed to be adjusted.

UCF, Cincy and Houston....then who?

Diaco walked into a build on, not a rebuild.

Will be interesting to see the semi-short-term effect of this hire. Based on me, the fan base will be re-energized:

1. Now considering taking the plunge for season tix
2. I registered for the-boneyard.com

That's got to be worth something.

I agree with this outlook. I think this is a decent enough team with the potential to be competitive fairly quickly. Not expecting 12-0 but 6-6, 7-5 is a more than reasonable goal.

Answers: less talent, East Carolina is good, much depends on the draw since every team will not play every other.

I agree ECU is a good team. In an 11 team league, even if we played Cincy, UCF, ECU and UH and lost all 4 games, is it not possible we could go 4-4 is a weak conference and end up 6-6?

We are better at home and have Boise St, Stoney Brook, Army and BYU as OOC games (all at home).

If we can't win 6 games it's a fail.
 
So, after reading all the links provided in this thread, and comments by ND fans, many mentioned that his D was "bend don't break". Anyone else notice that?

"We’re interested in building a unit that loves each other (and) loves being with their teammates and coaches and coaches with their players," Diaco explained. "We’re interested in building a player that understands that the minute he decelerates and takes a second to pat himself on the back somebody’s gonna pass him immediately by. "We’re interested in creating players and developing players that just love hard work. They bring the same energy to every task – we talk about it all the time."

Kevin Ollie or Bob Diaco?

I heard from a high-ranking source at Notre Dame that Diaco despises escalators

Guess we should just hand you a media credential now and boom you're a journalist!
 
Notre Dame's Kelly, Swarbrick say UConn made right choice
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20131212/BLOGS02/131219747

  • Kelly: "Connecticut hired the perfect man to lead their football program into the future. Bob Diaco possesses every characteristic necessary to be successful. He's a top-notch recruiter, tremendous leader of young men and brilliant coach. Bob was arguably the top coordinator in the country as demonstrated by our defense over the last few years. He played an immense role that ultimately helped our program reach four consecutive bowl games, including the 2013 BCS National Championship game."
  • Swarbrick: "Bob Diaco is a great coach who made a major impact on our program and the young men he mentored while at Notre Dame. He loves to teach, and his passion for the young men with whom he works is evident in everything Bob does. Connecticut has found the perfect man to build a program that will deliver sustained success on the field, in the classroom and in the community."

Awesome...not a plunge on the tix. It will be the "ride" of a lifetime. Plus pre-game in the rent is worth it all.
The plunge is the last 2 years plus 4 games.

I'd like to personally thank Coach Diaco for not demanding to stay with The Irish through the Pinstripe Bowl. Now I don't have to root for Notre Dame while holding my nose. I can go back to hoping Yankee Stadium gets struck by lightning and they call it a draw.
 
Loved the fact that he ended his press conference, by telling fans (and fans-to-be) that UConn football ("it'll be the best show in town"). He gets it!!! UConn is not just competing on the field, not just competing for conference championships - it is competing for the entertainment dollar (and viewership). The product needs to be exciting and he sounds like that's his plan.

Too damn bad, that UConn didn't see the need for this when Randy left and made a hire such as this at the time to use as a springboard to build on what was rapidly growing into a formidable college football program. Instead, they went with a safe, conservative, lazy (IMO) hire and brought in a retread.

That was then and this is now. Very excited that they brought this guy in with no ties to the conservative ways of the past.

Agree with comments on BD. Not fair re: comments on Uconn. RE left Uconn in the lurch. Jan. 2, 2011. Uconn needs new head fb coach. You think we could have made the same reasoned decision then as now? This is on RE. This is his legacy. Disarray. And I am a Randy apologist. But this is his legacy.
