Looking forward to hearing what he has to say at the basketball game tonight. Whatever it is, I'm betting UCONN goes on a 10-0 run following it and the crowd loses their collective minds.

Not possible. Don't you know Hartford is a pit of despair from which no light can escape?

Diaco even got Jim Rome fired up! LOL HCBD's personality is hard not to like.

He's going to do big things when he's in front of recruits. He's got the Kevin Ollie likability factor. They accomplish it in very different ways but you can't listen to either of them and not immediately like them.
 
Reaction to the interview couldn't be more positive. I love Bob Diaco AND Warde Manuel.

The game is on ESPN 2 a perfect game for Diaco to introduce himself nationally.

Was that an ode to Narduzzi? Just kidding. Diaco is a dream come true. A guy that focuses on the positives of uconn 24/7. Refreshing to say the least.
 
He killed it. And he still has fun every day.
 
I listened to the interview on Rome, I am not a fan of Rome but I wanted to post this...

Sometime when you’re feeling important; Sometime when your ego’s in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted You’re the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your going Would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow these simple instructions And see how they humble your soul;
Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist, Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining Is a measure of how you’ll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter, You may stir up the water galore, But stop and you’ll find that in no time It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example Is do just the best that you can, Be proud of yourself but remember, There’s no indispensable man.
 
I'm really excited to see what the players will do when coached by this man.

He seems the rare smart guy, who is also a football mind. Most are either one or the other, and typically, if you are both (relate able to the players, plus smarter than the guy on the other sideline) you will have good results more often than not.

I really don't think P intentionally sunk the program. He operated on an outdated model of coaching that didn't produce. It doesn't make him a bad man. What Randy did on the other hand was intentional. He turned out to be a huge phony.
Expand ...
He was an old man by the time UCONN hired him and just forgot how to coach college kids and recognize which kids had talent, he lost the flexibility with these kids, and the college game had changed since his days at Cuse.

Actually what I said was the personal old man jokes were unbecoming. I thought you of all people would agree with me.
Expand ...
I agree with shutting down the Old Man Jokes. If they want to dump on PGDL for their lack of coaching prowess and taking the money and run fine but the Old Man jokes hit too close to home with a lot of us baby boomers.
 
Thing is, neither P nor Edsall means jack shet to,tje future of this program. Im excited about our new guy, a guy that doesnt focus on the programs shortcomings during national interviews. The worst thing that could have happened to uconn post edsall was a guy that came in and produced 6_6, 7-5, type records. The kind of guy that is difficult to fire because uconn "shouldnt have expectations", due to no history and no instate recruiting. Be thankful P fell flat on his face and now we can move on to what should be an esciting time for uconn football. The glory days are yet to come for this program.
 
Yeah turns out you can't hear the replay unless you pay for Premium Content. Pssshhhhhttt.

Those of you who go to the game tonight need to record Bob Diaco speaking. I wish I could attend, but I am on-call for work.
 
No doubt Coach D is a great guy and a great motivator. Just seems like I keep hearing the same stories over and over, like he's got a script. Talk of the millions of people in so many square miles of campus, how great our math and science departments are.... He was on a national radio show, no mention of our great facilities and other selling points for student athletes? Sell our program when you can Bob, market to potential recruits and the national audience. I'm psyched and excited about the future of UConn football, just hope he can coach as good a game as he can talk.
 
Also....anyone going to the Basketball game tonight feel like using your smartphone and videoing Coach D's appearance tonight and posting it? I'm sure most Boneyarders would love to check it out....
 
^^^ Debbie downer... i can see why you still have your flag upside down, but I can tell you we've been saved! lol

When you get the interviewer to gush like a little girl, you get an A+ for the interview, regardless of what was said. Anybody can talk about facilities. Not everybody can quote motivating poems.

Yeah...I can flip it around now! lol
Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just think he missed an opportunity to sell UConn nation wide. I agree the guy is going to be good. Everyone loves him including me. But mix some more selling points in the sermon.
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah...just get me some damned 4 star recruits

haha... just busting balls. I agree that he should sell, sell, sell at every opportunity he gets, but I think he did enough on the Jim Rome show to win over some people.

What's the next show he'll be on???
