Diaco Weekly Press Conference (Memphis) Tidbits

[ktuck911]

There's a few things that coach Diaco was quoted as saying that gives me hope:

HCBD: Memphis is a completely different team this year. They are in year three of their program and they play together and play hard.

*** guys remember how bad Memphis was the past few years??? I don't like to wait, BUT if we're gonna be better in the long run, I'd rather wait for the finished product. *** The only problem I have with this; scenario is that he doesn't pull an Edsall....

Diaco made the comments today:


Diaco said he has a long way to go but has learned so much as a head coach

Bob Diaco on learning curve: "Just like Andreas (KNappe) at right tackle, I am growing the same way."

Diaco says he's learned "so much" about coaching since taking the job and is growing. "It's exciting."


Does this bother anyone? They are obviously true, but didn't UConn need to hire a proven head coach with a winning system to turn UConn around given how critical football is to conference realignment? Basically, Diaco is saying he is learning on the job and he was a risky hire.

I support Diaco and I still think he can turn around UConn football, but I wish he would stop talking and focus on results.

Memphis really wasn't that bad last year outside of the UConn game....

He gets it. Let's see if he can fix it. I like his comments this week.
