Rick. You think he's done enough to get next year?

No, I don't.....if a Power Conference extended us a lifeline, I'd understand firing him because gaining conference affiliation with long-term stability and exposure, coupled with the previously-demonstrated ability of someone to win at UConn, we could attract a legitimate coaching candidate.
Sadly, I think the fact that he inherited a train wreck, and turned in one acceptable season, is JUST enough to give him one more year. I'm not arguing for keeping Coach with any passion because I don't feel strongly about keeping him.
I WILL say, if a school is only going to give a coach three years when they take over a train wreck, you are BEGGING for the coach to cut corners in terms of building a team the right way.
 
For the first time since 1965 I am giving up on a UConn program unless there are drastic changes
This is COMPLETE BS

It's my standard response to those who smugly state they "cut the cord". Now, to be fair, you may not have posted it smugly. That's just how I read it.

the defense has just been totally worn out from the ineptness of the offense. You can't spend almost the whole game chasing the other teams offense around the field.
 
Decided to stay home and do some work around the house. Looking at the numbers..have they quit or has it just been a strange set of circumstances?
 
offense walking out with slumped shoulders; defense laying down.. I don't know how benedict can accept more of this

To some degree I agree
BUT you can cut it shorter by making some stops

I'll bet Diaco wants a blowout. Collect 5 mil and be released from this nightmare.
 
Okay, I think this quarter is the one where we finally score points.
 
This Williams kid was only recruited by Fordham and JMU. Diaco is really.....dumb.

We are the most poorly coached team in the nation. Can we cycle in some new coaches and pay Bob not to show up except for meals?

I think you are right-something clicked in a bad way....Coach Diaco did something right when he took over initially, but "Round 2" of building on last year's step forward with lots of returning players has obviously completely gone off the rails. I'm thinking his relentless positivity was enough to initially change the culture of losing when he took over, but his struggles with the "x's and o's" of coaching players prevented him from taking the team any further this year. It's pretty apparent he's lost the team now that they see they aren't on the right path. I think he gets another year but has to fire some scapegoats to buy him one more year.

Just explaining why I was listening and not watching. No offense taken.
 
Getting ready to punch this announcer in the chicklets. We know that the offense has struggled without you constantly reminding us

Williams just threw that football to no one NO ONE. except the defense.
 
OK I've seen enough
At 61 I can throw better than that
I'm going to the gym
Glad I gave a family member my tickets
