Coaching staff hasn't a clue

[UConnDan97]

Here's my understanding of the plan:

1. Rebuild the players' psyches - they've been beaten down by the previous regime - one love
2. Rebuild their bodies - vitamins and strength conditioning
3. Run off the naysayers or those who don't love the game - the energy vampires
4. Give playing time to the youngsters now to pay dividends down the road
5. Build for the long term which means sacrificing wins now
6. Recruit size, speed and coachability

Unfortunately this hasn't paid off in wins this year and has led to a bunch of WTF losses. Problem is that four years of this mess, albeit only one year with him, means our fan base is cutting him very little slack.

He most definitely has a plan. We'll see if it pays off in the future

The only thing that I'll say is that all of the above with the exception of #4 could have been accomplished without treating the games as "scrimmages". That, along with the multi-QB thing, is what has bothered me the most in terms of his decisions. I didn't feel that he needed to sacrifice those things to build a winner here.

Having said that, the BJ McBryde comments have made me feel a lot better about Diaco and his gameplan. It's always good to get a perspective on the inside. So I'll table my criticisms until next year, when we win 15 in a row...

I feel like I understand parts of the plan, but others have me confused and others just frustrated. We may not like the tone and consistent criticism offered up by certain posters, but when a team is losing for reasons that extend beyond any logical building process it's worth considering issues like HC experience and lack of game preparation.

The fanbase went from screaming adulation and hope, including a clamoring for Coach D bucket hats, to a lot of people skipping tomorrow's game that would never skip a game. Add to that, a ton of brand new former season ticket holders next season.

BD's plan and his media communications are as responsible for that as the W/L record. That's huge and needs to be addressed in the off season. Especially, when you aren't looking at sure fire turnaround next season.

Not sure the program can recover from 8k/game next season if they start out slow.

Wong on both points.

If Diaco called everyone on the boneyard idiots and we were 5-6 playing for a bowl game, people would be there.

Diaco sucks, gets fired in 3 years and the next guys wins, the fans will be there.

It's about winning. Just win baby.

You understand the definition of a troll right?

And once again you're too chicken salad to answer a simple question.
