Any chance that he brings some Notre Dame commits with him?

Not sure how to feel about this one. He had great athletes at ND so was it the talent he had or the schemes? What can he do with an offense?

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

I swear to god if we hire Pasquolini again I'm not buying my kids anything for Christmas.

Best post all day.

We can all sleep tonight (and work tomorrow)

In Diaco we trust.

The thousands of refreshes over the past 24 hours were not in vain after all. . .

 

[UConn Dan]

How much was he making at ND?

 

[SubbaBub]

@coachingsearch: Im surprised. A source tells me the UCONN job is not going to Pete Lembo. Warde Manuel has something up his sleeve.

That's Vader's music.....

@BFeldmanCBS: BREAKING #NotreDame DC Bob Diaco will be the new head coach at #UConn, source told CBS. 5yr deal, starts at $1.5 mil.

Seems low

 

[UConn Insider]

Diaco was at Cincy for a time I know....maybe crossed paths w TJ and keeps him as OC?

Not happening

 

[BlueMAB]

Bringing GDL back instead?

I'll pour one our for my homie TJ

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I think Diaco was option 1b so I'm very happy about this hire

My sources tell me that the reason Narduzzi withdrew his name was because WM told him that he was visiting Diaco this evening and if things went well, Diaco would receive an offer, if not, he's call Narduzzi for a second interview.

That's my story. Once I get a twitter account it will be out there and in a few hours it will be fact.

Coached Golic's kid at ND...his wife just tweeted at Kevin Nathan

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

Well within his rights of course but I'll be rooting for TJW to succeed.

In for a penny in for a pound. If you trust this guy to run your whole team than I guess that means the whole team and you don't force him to take on an OC that he didn't ask for.

Is that the operating theory?

 

[Marty Jackson]

here's what I can guarantee. regardless of who the coach is, there will be a group pissed off like someone just ran off with their wife, and another group that will be completely ecstatic, like someone just ran off with their wife.

What a FREAKING roller coaster this week.

Any chance that he brings some Notre Dame commits with him?

Pete Roussel just tweeted that his sources have confirmed he's bringing Manti Teo's girfriend with him.

 

[king conn]

I just want to jump in and thank all you guys for the up to the second updates. You have the newspaper guys beat by a mile.

 

[itgoeslike]

1 year removed from a Broyles award and National Championship game; Big Ten ties; keyed into top recruits. I'm good with this. Maybe he's football's version of CKO coming to kick ass. Here's to the young guard taking over at UConn.

 

[RMoore1999]

Well now you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right... Any guesses?

Thanks for the advance inside info. Nice job by Warde and the hiring team.

Now, what's next, B1G or ACC??

 

[cryjeremiah]

Right here, right now, i'm dubbing him HCCK. Look at his face, which was clearly hewn out of granite and you should know that the CK stands for Clark Kent. HCBD is a little unwieldy.

Wait wait wait... was that a "Nice job by Warde" from you?

Can't spell Diaco without a BIG D.

He won't scare away the coeds, and will probably bump sales for whichever car dealership he endorses, I guess. Whereas Lembo without his hat looks like Dan Shaughnessey's idea of a caricature of a CT "America's File Cabinet" insurance guy.

Haha.... I must've hacked RMoore's account (apparently)

 

[temery]

Too soon to pin a post calling for Diaco to be fired?
