HCRE 2.0 Presser Thread (with Link to Watch)

[coachRD]

Should be an interesting day.

University of Connecticut powered by College Sports Live

Holy F&$K I am IN. VERY F&$KING IN. Redemption tour. AAC opponents are screwed.

 

[freescooter]

I'm not even there and it feels like finally a grown up is in charge of the program.

 

[RedStickHusky]

crap... he's got a process

 

[Walker11]

The biggest difference between the two? This one is 100% genuine.

Only 1 language spoken.

 

[ScottVib]

Edsall giving Benedict suggestions on places to eat.

 

[junglehusky]

He said it, it was genuine, now we can move on.

The other thing he did was asking supporters for their help. It won't be an ego thing here.

 

[sdhusky]

randy pays for that haircut?

 

[ktuck911]

This press conference has me feeling good about UConn Football again.. Glass half full good....

 

[junglehusky]

Edsall giving Benedict suggestions on places to eat.

I think we can thank Darren the barber in Glastonbury for suggesting for Benedict to hire RE.

 

[Chin Diesel]

What he learned from Caldwell....

Throwing the football?
Spread offense?

 

[RedStickHusky]

cool - a trailers question

 

[ktuck911]

Didn't really have any feelings about this hire other than "glad Diaco is gone" but seeing him back at the Rent has made me feel a lot better about this. Maybe it's nostalgia but I'm glad he's the choice. He'll be committed and UConn football is his baby, what better way to correct the way he left than to return and fix the program and retire here?

Not a flashy guy either.. like the humility pulling up in a Hyundai SUV... A car's a car... ("you are what you are")... love this....

 

[Chin Diesel]

Convincing factor was people.

Benedict vice Hathaway.

 

[Bonehead]

Can someone shut the shades?

 

[WestHartHusk]

Sounds like we will be able to get recruits through admissions this time.

Yep. Showing mad love for DB.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Semantics. The apology was genuine, I'm ready to move on.

Undoubtedly, genuine, sincere emotion, specifically stated "regret", absolute direct apology, and entirely clear and appropriate focus on the future. How reasonable, relatively mature individuals could expect anymore would be challenging to comprehend. Moving onward, and upward.
Go UCONN!

A bigger surprise is that Athletic Director Dave pays for his.

I'm glad I didn't post before about the hire. I wasn't happy about it. But after listening to the press conference I really think he is sorry about leaving the way he did. I'm willing to give him a chance and maybe even get our 13 season ticket holders we had back.

 

[ktuck911]

LOVE the fact he actually speaks the language we all understand... The last 3 years were tough to deal with when it came to that.

Diaco's hire reminds me of some of the hires (useless ones) at the company I work at... They so looked the part, very sociable, for the image conscious folks, but when it was about the work output and results... Yikes!

The guy is from Auburn, he's probably still in shock we ask the kids for their HS transcripts

 

[CTBasketball]

When he told the story about Sio Moore, Darius Butler, etc and talking with all his former players, then talked about Jasper Howard...that's heavy . This guy is determined.

 

[junglehusky]

Also, for those who care... blue tie!

BINGO. You got that right.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Looks like it's either a blind spot from the shades or a double shadow from the cameras.
