I don't think it's too harsh because with Diaco you could smell the crazy on him. He should've never made it past an initial inquiry.

THAT is fair. I truly believe, the way he recruited, he thought he was going to come here and year one win 3 games, year two win 6 games, year three win 9 games and be on to his next job. Once P's last recruits exhausted their eligibility there wasn't much left.

One of the worst ever is harsh. Guy did make a bowl. USF just fired a guy who was way worse. Edsall 2.0 was exponentially worse.

Diaco was the worst coach in college football history.

Among his many problems is that I am certain he is the only coach in history to ever call a fake, fake field goal.

He was a flake. And still put game plans together that looked far better than Edsall's. Also Shirreffs was better than any QB RE recruited not named Orlovsky or Lorenzen.

P on the other hand recruited Cochrane, Boyle and Lagow in back to back classes. Amazing how some guys can spot QB talent and others are terrible at it.

If he actually knew what he was doing he would be a much beloved eccentric coach. It's only when you see the train wreck that he produced that you realized he was bat sh.it crazy.
 
At beginning it was kinda cool having Diaco as our coach… having the crazy coach..uconn was always in the news with his nutty interviews…but then he couldn’t coach… not running back punts… that goal line screw up against Navy…then the conflict was the last straw

The ACC is a dead conference. They are not in better shape than the big 12. None of the big 12 schools are going to be poached. The ACC has 4 maybe 6 schools that are not going be there long term.

I believe the ACC's long-term survival depends on ND. Thus, based on history the ACC is doomed.

Like, duh. The B1G wants ND. The conference also wants the DC and Atlanta markets and would not say no to UNC who can bring the RDU and Charlotte markets while adding a huge basketball brand name. It’s even possible the B1G would want a land bridge to its new western arm. This is not over.

What's the AAC exit fee again? Seems like Luck gets the next Pac4 chair rather than Aresco.
Expand ...
That’s an interesting concept
1 What kind of media money could they command ?
2. Would the Big 12 snd ACC allow it to exist ?
4. If the price was right should UConn join ad a football only ?
5 Should they add BB teams like Gonzaga ?

Frustrating how quckly people and media change their views by simply adding a P status to a school.

So that league was paneer as garbage. Every one of those schools except two are now making 30-40M year.

UConn Temple SMU USF, which 2 of these schools is making 30-40M a year?
 
There is nothing Oregon State and Washington State can do to keep the PAC 12 as a power conference. Even if Stanford and Cal remain in the PAC, it is still not conceivable to be a power conference with any combination of Group of 5 schools plus those 4 (or 2).

I wouldn't mind if they did, because I would consider Connecticut joining as a football only, if possible. Travel would be miserable for basketball and Olympic sports, but having to go coast to coast for six away games a year isn't so bad.

You are out of your mind. He was not one of the worst - he was THE WORST. Warde piloted the Enola Gay and dropped Little Boy Diaco on our athletic department. The nuclear fallout almost killed all sports. Thank goodness Benedict arrived, made a few key decisions (and a bad one or two, but not nuclear) and brought us back.

IMO if the 4 remaining PAC schools stayed together, they would have a chance at retaining power status (threaten lawsuit and add the best of the MWC and AAC), which is why everything will be done to find Cal/Stanford a P4 landing spot.

ESPN wants to keep Apple out of the college football power conference business.

Apple could make it worth their while to stay together and Cherry pick teams at a discount to fill out the conference.

No other conference with maybe the exception of the some of the guilty conscience traditionalist in B1G wants to see the PAC survive The ESPN Fox , ACC , B12 all have a vested interest in their destruction . The reasons are a little different
The conferences don’t want another mouth to feed or someone who could get stronger and hurt them in the future
The media guys are petrified by the thought of a giant like Apple or Amazon entering the and effecting their game,
Cal , Stanford and even SMU will land somewhere and OSU and WSU will join UConn, and USF
as victims of CR ,
