Hey kid - Take these Husky head stickers, go around the campus and...

brilliant

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Those who deny history are doomed to repeat it.

 

[Adios]

Gotta celebrate the win over Houston that night somehow! Good to see that's the low bar set for the program.

Worst winning percentage for a football coach since 1920. Hard to believe Warde set that up. Glad Michigan took him!

 

[UC313]

The disappearing Diaco. Love it.

 

[Exit 4]

You know if this was reversed, Bob would have spent all weekend adjusting/tweaking the sticker. Of course with Edsall, you know he just delegated and moved on instantaneously.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Love it

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I don't see why you have to take away the one solid accomplishment the guy had. Seems a bit petty to me. He's gone, but why pretend it didn't happen?

He had the worst winning percentage of any UConn football coach since 1920.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah, and he got fired. But that was one good moment he did have. I don't see a reason to erase it from history.

 

[JMick]

Yeah, and he got fired. But that was one good moment he did have. I don't see a reason to erase it from history.

If you believe the chatter, he was not well liked. Maybe it's just a final dig.

 

[Husky25]

Maybe not but I don't like it either. Seems classless. The guy was fired. Better that both parties just move on. If anything had to happen, change out the photo. The field was packed in celebration that night. Surely there are a couple pictures that don't include Diaco.

Low "Rent."

 

[Rocktheworld]

Not erasing the moment, obviously; just erasing him from the moment.

Because those celebrating Huskies earned that victory in spite of Diaco; not because of him. You can de-couple the two.

 

[sportsart]

I wish Fishy would make Diaco appear is "Dicko" every time someone types in Dicko..."Hey it worked"

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Bobby Red Pants was a disgrace, but he is part of our history. I think it is funny, but should be removed.

More importantly, the men in pads won that game and their accomplishment shouldn't shrouded.

 

[uconnbill]

I don't think you should cover it for the player's sake since they're Huskies for life.

This should be about the player's not an ex-coach.

 

[CL82]

Mmm, I think it is a message that it is a new era. They'll swap out the picture soon enough.

One thing is clear HCRE has zero respect for Diaco. I think he actually resents the damage that Red Pants did here. I don't believe that he is alone in that view.

It does seem like Edsall (probably with the help of Corey) mined the boneyard to find a hundred ways to do things better than Diaco. Football alumni at practice? Why of course! Hiring people outside of your coaching tree with awesome resumes? Why of course.

 

[whaler11]

They should have packed him in a rocket and shot him into the sun after his 3rd game.

That they were short-sighted this is at least fun.

 

[hardcorehusky]

Diaco had 0 respect for UCONN football history. He bashed Pasqualoni mercilessly when not necessary or appropriate. No alumni were back until he was gone. He held this program in contempt as he ran it into the ground. He was the head coach and didn't believe he could recruit a kid who wanted to come her from Windsor for g-d's sake. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE HIS FACE, HEAR ANOTHER WORD UTTERED BY HIM OR ANYTHING ELSE BOB DIACO RELATED. The only way to move forward is putting him in the rear view mirror.

You want Diaco info, look him up in the record books or GOOGLE him.

My hour is now ruined thinking about him.

 

[ZOOCONN]

Yeah, and he got fired. But that was one good moment he did have. I don't see a reason to erase it from history.

well see we aren't erasing what the kids accomplished, we are erasing the memory of the worst coach we have ever had. big difference.

 

[Stainmaster]

He bashed Pasqualoni mercilessly when not necessary or appropriate.

Oh, it was necessary and appropriate.

 

[freescooter]

I kind of agree that he didn't respect UConn football but from a different perspective. I think he always thought of it as beneath him and not really big league football. You saw some of it in how he came allied about it and saw more in how he recruited. To him UConn was only slightly above 1AA and that was why close games with Maine were acceptable. And as bad as Paqualoni was publicly knocking your predicessor is unseemly and he did it constantly.

 

[UConnDan97]

Oh, it was necessary and appropriate.

Nah, not really. Pasqualoni wasn't a good head coach. But much of the criticism that Diaco put on Pasqualoni was both ridiculous and uncalled for. Well beyond the normal "cupboard is bare" stuff, although that was part of it too.

Does anyone really honestly believe now (or then) that Pasqualoni's vitamin D regimen was why we were losing?

 

[CL82]

well see we aren't erasing what the kids accomplished, we are erasing the memory of the worst coach we have ever had. big difference.

This is a stunning statement considering who his predecessor was.

Sadly, I can't say I disagree with it.
