Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 4050304, member: 1618"] PP struggled with disciplining kids. He treated them like professionals and was just interested in coaching football, none of the other stuff. He loved being in the NFL BTW. He never talked about his Syracuse years privately, only his NFL years. Always found that odd. The dude also won five games with McEntee ay quarterback. Randy wouldn't have started McEntee and UConn was probably 7-5 and 7-5 in the two years Paul went 5-7 and 5-7. What happened that third year? Just fell apart. If they replayed that season, they beat Towson, Beat Michigan, probably beat Buffalo and are 3-1 with Whitmer at QB. The team just didn't play well early on and it just compounded itself. Could have easily been 4-0 and not 0-4. The coaching staff was crushed and besides themselves, at end of the season since they knew they were better than their record. I am not one who says PP killed the program. It was Diaco. He came in here and absolutely nuked the place. I mean absolutely NUKED IT. Tim Boyle also would have excelled with PP. PP loved his talent. If Paul had a QB, and keept Moorehead as OC instead of bringing in George, I think they would have been terrific. The fact Whitmer wasn't good here was crazy too. He was a good QB who just never got consistent here. [/QUOTE]
