Message: [QUOTE="NH Husky, post: 4706466, member: 1600"] While PP and Diaco both ended up sucking that didn’t appear to be the case when they were hired. PP was about the same age at hire as Mora, had deep roots in CT high school football, and is the winningest coach at Syracuse going back to the 1920’s. Diaco was DC of the year at Notre Dame the year before he got on board. RE 2.0 may have been a stop gap measure because the school had already begun exploring other options such as the BE. I’m not sure how conference leaderships and other AD’s could conclude that was because UCONN gave up on football. That seems to be more the perception of fan bases. The fact that those hires had some successes in other conferences points more towards the AAC as the primary cause for the dark years. Uninterested fan base and lower talented recruits driving it. Impacting hoops as well. The decision makers must be able to at least recognize this and evaluate further. [/QUOTE]
