His offense with the same players put up way more points in his last few games. I always believed in college you win with creative offensive coaches at the helm. We have to give coach BD his time, but this season has been hard.

One important missing ingredient, namely Casey Cochran.

Also some RS Sr OL who had a TON of experience, and got better quickly when they scrapped GDL's zone blocking scheme.One important missing ingredient, namely Casey Cochran.

Same players? WTF? Minus like the entire OL and starting QB. BUT YEAH OUTSIDE OF THAT COOL STORY

I liked Weist, still do - think he'll make a great head coach some day. Who knows how he would have done. But Diaco was a sound hire too. He needs his time.
I think the OP is right. I also think there is nothing we can do about it. Diaco is the coach, and if he fails, you can turn off the lights on the football program, so we need him to succeed.
You've been pulling the plug on UCONN football for awhile. Why do you follow the sport at all.
FHCPP put UCONN in this mess and we all have to trust HCBD to fix his mess.
The first offensive series of the USF game last year (Weist's first game as a head coach) Weist called an end around that went for about 25 yards and a first down, 5 games into Diaco's career we haven't seen anything remotely as tricky as a simple end around. How sad.
We lost 2/5th's of our offensive line and returned 3/5ths. Gifford, Cruz, and Mateus have seen significant playing time before this year. Bennett and Greene each had some horrible games last year and Friend and Cruz missed large parts of last season.
I like Diaco, but right now his offense blows, those defending it are defending, at best, mediocrity.

I agree with your point about the OL. The whole offense looks confused and tentative. The problems with the offense are stemming from practice, and the good (and bad) news is that it appears that Diaco is losing confidence in his OC based on the South Florida game. It is bad news because it was one of Diaco's first hires, we probably could have kept Weist, and now we have an OC that probably sucks. The good news is that at least Diaco is recognizing he has a problem and trying to deal with it.
we probably could have kept Weist,
Yeah. Probably. SMDH

We really fell in love with this place, but I thought it was best to make a decision to pursue other opportunities. I want to be a head coach. Now that I've been a head coach, I want to do it and know I can do it." - TJ Weist
