Diaco's most bizarre moves.

[Woof 101]

Sure, going for it 4 and 18 from the 19 yard line was right up there especially since it would have helped the offense's confidence and put a little pressure on the opponent.

Some of my favs.

Very first game BYU, start of the second half. Casey takes the second half KO, moves the team down the field picking up a number of first downs. We get to the red zone, BYU 20, Diaco pulls Casey and puts in Whitmer. Whitmer takes back to back sacks. No points. Game over.

Navy, the Johnson run. Who needs three chances to win, when you don't even know what down it is? That's a classic.

USF, Diaco runs the ball 15 straight times making one first down because he is afraid to pass. Team gains 57 yards total running. We lose 17-14. (Byron Jones INT TD and garbage time score.)

I'm sure folks have other favorite Diaco mind blowers.

I have no intention of changing the direction of your thread title of Diaco's Most Bizarre Moves, which has the potential to become an extremely long one.
Sadly there is enough material for this topic to be done in volumes. It could also have been posted as Most of Diaco's Moves & What He Says Are Bizarre....

Does anyone know why the kid from Southington, Jasen Rose, left the program?

Maybe he realized that he had made a huge mistake signing with Crazy Bobby...

His 'get your tickets now' declaration at the opening presser.

Oh good lord. If that is true we are best without him.

 

[noeynox]

The way he used Geremy Davis. Sitting him out on 3rd down to develop younger receivers. Well , we're waiting??

Failure to field punts... cost us the Navy game.

Why would you post something like that?

Mods should delete imo.

Regardless of all that stuff, I still think it's because he saw right through Coach Sh!$ Shows
tired old act. He may have been the Nostradamus of all recruits.

The entire 2014 season is the correct answer. UConn has made a series of mistakes over the years that has affected its CR profile but this one is the one that was 1) totally unnecessary and 2) perhaps most damaging. We used the entire 2014 year as a practice season in the spirit of "progress". What 2014 actually did was cement losing habits with players who were not ready to play at the collegiate level (and some still aren't), all the while losing more fans, more games and hurting our football reputation. The Big 12 expansion was 1000% about football and football only and our 2014 "practice season" did not help.

Starting a freshman QB with a rookie Offensive Coordinator when you need to win out to make a bowl game and you are playing one of the best defenses on your schedule.

Demote Verducci? Fine. Promote Williams? Fine. Just not both at the same freaking time. I would have liked to see Verducci coaching Williams just so we could have had a fair comparison.

And RKG's. I don't want to hear another gd reference to RKG's every again. It's like hearing the word "prototype".

We need to recruit football players. Our recruiting has been a joke.
