Diaco is starting to rub me the wrong way

[CodyJ.]

Cody: If you happen to be Catholic and go to confession. You are probably going to have to put this post on your list of sins. If not, I will give you your penance now.
1. Run up and down the bleachers at the Rent full speed 10 times
2. Write, I will never put Coach Bob Diaco down again 100 times
3. Read Dale Carnegie's book, How to win friends and influence people
4. Volunteer time at a local drug rehab center
and finally the punishment that will probably teach you the most
5. No beer at UCONN home games during the upcoming 2014 season.
You are restricted to bottled water only!

This is Outstanding!
1.) If you see a guy wearing a 99 jersey running up and down the bleachers at the BYU game you know its me.
2.) I will do in my next post.
3.) I have read that book. It is very good. I actually refer to it often. "Find out what people need".
4.) I volunteer my time at a soup kitchen every monday at lunch time. That should suffice. And my brother is an addict and I have to deal/help him. check in the box there.
5.) Not going to happen. However, I have cut back considerably at games. Only have 4-5 beers total.

Am I forgiven?

Yes my son, you are absolved of your transgressions!

 

[Jimdish255]

Well you can go join his hippie circles and pass the spliff. I'll be waiting for a blind sided sack with the ball spitting out picked up for 6 our way.

First of all, you weren't getting that some coaches believe the process leads to success. Just so happens that part of Coach D's process involves caring about his players, along with competitive focus and discipline - terrible! You don't have to be a miserable D--k to be a responsible competitive and successful athlete or coach. Hold on to your stereotypes if you like, but when I wore my hair a little longer I didn't hesitate to fire up big talkers on the field or on the ice.

Season can't start soon enough. NEGATIVE!

I sort of get what Cody means, I think. Sometimes this peace love and grooviness stuff seems a little forced, and I never hear it from say Belicheck. Though Lombardi used some of it, (My players need to be committed to their God, their family and the Green Bay Packers, in that order). I think though it is mostly that we just want to get this party started. See how the new attitude translates or doesn't translate into play on the field. Diaco has a tough job I think. He is trying to rebuild not just the team but also community interest which was really slipping after the the wreckage of the Pasqualoni years. And I think he knows that deep down he won't be that good until he recruits better players. He's expanded the recruiting already into New Jersey again, back to Florida, where it had fallen off dangerously under P, back to Pennsylvania...It is tough to sell a program that you know has major flaws unless you're a Wall Street bank, so he has to sell the sizzle and hope people buy that until he can actually deliver top notch football in a couple of years.

Scooter, hell, I believe top notch football (games) doesn't start in a couple of years. It started last December. It gets "measured" beginning in 7 days and then tweaked. Within three years, I do believe we lay witness to the greatest turnaround in CFB and we are in the CFB playoff...You gotta believe, have faith, have patience and enjoy....every single moment.

 

[Confident Carl]

Pros and college are different, if you're not getting paid emotional fulfillment becomes even more important, but Belichek might be a better coach if he believed in love a bit more.

Interesting that you brought up Belichek who is somewhere in the same coaching tree as Diaco. I agree that College and Pro are two different platforms. This was coach P's problem. He was removed from the college game for 5 yrs or so and college kids like pros is a mistake. These kids are still moist clay and can be molded easier. Look at the difference in success Greg Schiano had from Rutgers to the Pros. Diaco's persona and style is much more fitting to the college game. Although I personally feel he would be successful at any level. He brings energy into a room and is the consummate motivator.

So sayeth KO's greatest former critic. What a surprise. Take this post with a truckload of salt.

So - it appears again, that we really, REALLY need some football. Phew.

I agree. college and pro coaching are different and not everyone can make the transition from one to the other. Petrino, Schiano, Spurrier, even Nick Saban struggled in the college ranks, and lots of pro coordinators have had trouble going the other way. On th eother hand, Pete Carroll has done ok at both levels. Bill O'Brien didn't do so bad at Penn State, and even the guy at Syracuse did ok rebuilding them to respectability. You have to know the differences and how to relate to college kids vs pros.

That doesn't take nearly as long as it did in elementary school on a chalk board.

 

[Jimdish255]

There were some signs early on of what to expect when the last regime took over. There were reasons for concern over the first few games that played out and were never really corrected. On the other hand Coach P sounded like the confident professional, and said a lot of the right things unlike Coach D who's not trying to impress us with his toughness. I understand he's already proven that in his playing days. So if that's what you're looking for you might be disappointed on style points, but I'm willing to give him at least year one to settle in and make mistakes and learn from them. Maybe we should have gotten Petrino. That seems to be working out pretty good already.

I'm an Iraqi War Vet. There was no hippie Kumbaya I'll tell you that.

All in all, Looks like I got some heads turning. This forum went stale for a day or two. Had to get it jump started.

What's surprising to me is how easily you continue to troll this place. Surprising more here haven't caught on...

 

[Alum86]

I am so confused. Who is a troll ?

He is trying to call me a Troll for having an opinion. All I wanted to say was that I'm done with the lovey dovey stuff Diaco is spitting and lets go knock some heads. That's all. I guess some people can't take it. Gotta have exactly the same opinion as everyone else.

Look, I'm a huge UConn fan. I graduated from there. I buy season tix for football and basketball and additionally contribute money through donations every single year. I'm probably a bigger fan than most people on this board.

Get mad at me for an opinion? pfft. Aint nobody got time for that. But it did spark some good interest and good debate here. That I'm happy about.

 

[Alum86]

I see no trolling. Great thread. We all like Diaco and know he will succeed. He just effed the dog with his 51/49 nonsense ON QB. LOL

Good going Cody.

"It’s not about winning and losing games. That mission and a job well done on that mission of cultivating and developing young men is what drives me personally and it has been for some time"

You want to help college kids become better people, that's cool. But what I want, as a season ticket holder and Alumnus, is wins. I want to see heads rolling. I want to see other teams come into our house and leave wishing they never came.

Make these young men into great people. Fine but I honestly dont care. They will grow up one way or another. We all have.

Show me winning football and save the hippie crap for your Kumbaya circles.
Give me some Mike Ditka fire, give me some Gruden stares. For the love of God, give us hard nosed football not tree hugging.

Just sayin.

It's college, man. Either get your NFL Sunday Ticket or move to SEC territory.

 

[StoweD210]

Kyle Love just wasn't good enough to be a difference maker. Plus, he had some health concerns the team wanted him to address. They couldn't come to an agreement, so they parted ways.

Called you a troll for your propensity to stir things up with negativity. Maybe contrarian is a better label....keep those donations coming though.
