Mike Anthony On The Diaco Flameout

Please... Enough is enough. The article is good and informative but the constant bringing up of Diaco by the BY members is well tiring. He is gone. We have a future. His picture attached to so many postings is overkill. Let it go. Please move on.

Oh get over yourself. He was the freaking head coach here. We can talk about him all we want

He's not wrong when that's all some people post - whether it fits into a thread discussion or not... it does get old.

Rehashing things we already know gets old but this was new information. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to know what was going on behind the scenes.

Agree - I'm not referring to the OP article (heck - I started it) I'm referring to non- Diaco related threads that get derailed.

Its a UConn Football message board. The prior coach was filled with bravado and arrogance and left the place worse then when he took over all while tricking our prior AD into a contract extension. So, of course some of us fans will hold on to these events longer and wish to have fun throwing more stones now that he is gone. I don't think we are at all even closing to exhausting this forum with anti-Diaco messages. I'd say we are running at 30% of sane capacity and only in the 4th inning of the anti-Diaco post mortem. Anti Diaco posts will crop up from time to time until the end of next year when our first year of Edsall 2.0 and 'Coat of Paint' Diaco in Nebraska concludes. I find it fun and not at all a bore. Levity.

If you want to read the UNL reactions to his hiring you can do so here: Bob Diaco - New Defensive Coordinator - Husker Football

yes, I am seaofred92. Tried to warn them but they're all in on him and his wacky interviews :(

gorp512 - "I totally get how UConn fans hold him accountable, but did he hang those asinine "6th Borough"billboards in New York? Philly is closer to NYC than Storrs. That was dumber than any meaningless trophy "

Tell this moron to buy a ticket to the next UConn game in MSG. Or give him these links... thanks to @tcf15



UConn: "I Am New York"

"Philly", he's clueless. Nova/Temple send a fraction of the fans to MSG that UConn sends.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that The Hartford Courant has quite possibly the worst website on the Internet.

It's tied with other newspapers with the same owner. The Chicago Trib and Baltimore Sun use the same template.

Please note it is not the article by Anthony I was referring to. I plan to read the part two. It is the opening up of a subject and seeing Diaco pic with the team running on to the field or the BY members with Diaco as their pic. All I'm saying is he is a coach at Nebraska. Let them talk and display him. We have a new coach(recycled) let's look to the future

Says Diaco lost the team after the Navy game and coached the kids on what to say to the media.

The players were under a lot of pressure re: their answers to the media. Diaco really did NOT like the media.

Of course he lost the team at the Navy game. No way a team can have faith in you after you crap your pants like that.

I disagree with that bigly. I think Diaco had lost the fan base by the end of the season too. It wasn't just the offense. It was the awful record the head scratching decisions, the nonsensical comments. And the losing. There were many who wanted to give him 1 more year and a number who figured we were more or less stuck for another year but few who thought that 3-8 was acceptable.

Big league*
 
Diaco flamed out in game one against BYU. He taught his team everything they needed to know when he didn't play to win.

No game plan. Best players on the sidelines on third downs. His stated goal was to play a lot of players. Then after the game when he said, "BYU was out partner in getting better" you knew he had lost his mind.

Well - there was this now infamous press conf in August of season 1.

His jargon is insufferable. Regardless of the football product, I'm not sure I could have taken another year of Diaco-isms.

All he had to do was win 9-10 games a year and the fanbase would have eaten up his nonsense jargon.

I had put that miserable press conference behind me. Key starter, starter, key backup.....uggh. I suffered key backup from watching this idiot destroy our beloved program.

The all time worst may have been him defending his 4th & 18 attempt from the BC 20, down 7-0 with a freshman QB playing his 2nd game ever.

That, and he still didn't know what down it was on the last play of the Navy game.

I knew it although I thought he lost them at halftime of the UCF game. What really pisses me off is that if he doesn't lose the team we win 7-8 games.

Its all about perspective...

Harbaugh- Says and does crazy * but wins 10 games = Eccentric Genius

Diaco- Says and does crazy * but wins 3 games = Certifiably Insane

Stanford, San Francisco, Michigan. Harbaugh is a terrific, terrific head coach. Diaco is a complete 180.

180 in W/L? Absolutely. 180 on being completely bonkers in his words and actions? Nope.
