Diaco from AAC Teleconference (9/29)

[J187Money]

RioDog, there really isn't anything that unorthodox about Diaco's approach. He is pretty much doing what a good number of coaches have done. Go with youth, take your lumps and hope it pays dividends in a couple of years. I didn't really think he would take this approach. I thought the combination of a weakish schedule and a need to break with the past would lead him to try and win now. I guess the first inkling I had that such wasn't the case was when we heard about the 2 quarterback system...1-12 is not out of the realm of possibility right now. I didn't think that was possible in August.

If we end up 1-12 we have bigger problems.

1-12 is not unlikely when their is a change of the guard like we underwent. It's going to take 2-3 years in football to improve a program. It just takes too many players on each unit have to be capable.

In a 12 game schedule where we already have 1 win?

Although Stony Brook felt like a loss even though we won so maybe 1-12 is right.

It's pretty unlikely unless they lose a game twice...

I would count temple as two

I mean it was a gutsy call and a big get on the opening drive...and then they went back to being UConn Football '14

Watching again. The decision to go for it on 4th and 1 and making it didn't do us any favors.
