Diaco's Demise

[nelsonmuntz]

Diaco is not resigning. I would be surprised, though not shocked, if his contract didn't have some kind of constructive termination language. Such language would make it more difficult to force assistants down his throat.

I suspect UCONN has two choices: eat the buyout or keep Diaco, and both choices are brutal.

Take a look at the language, it's all right there:

Article 12 - Diaco picks his assistants.

What HCRE built was fragile. I don't know if it can survive two kicks in the cojones within five years.

Keep him and the stadium will be more empty than usual. Season ticket sales will drop more and diaco will win 3-4 games next year max. Fire him, save the fan base....though not that impressive of one anyway, try to maintain season ticket sales and bring in an offensive minded coach for once to give us some entertainment and excitement. Buyout or not diaco stays and there will be 10k max at most games especially if these lousy results continue.

Impossible situation .
Herbst will look to the board of trustees and Larry McHugh.

McHugh is one of the reasons we are in this mess

......which makes it an impossible situation

Article 12 - Diaco picks his assistants.

He has the right to select and retain all assistants with approval of the AD. There is sufficient room there for DB to a) not approve of the return of a coup!e of assistants and b) provide input in the redeployment of remaining staff and selection of new assistants.

I imagine that P's contract had similar language (it looks to be very standard) and he had to demote his buddy and add TJ an assistant he had no prior relationship with but the AD did.

I think it's a legit possibility that this guy is an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. I'd recommend physician evaluation and review of Article 10 -1(a).

Who knows - if the guy starts taking medication - he might actually be a really good head coach.
