Message: [QUOTE="Northbound, post: 2902905, member: 155"] Diaco was a cluster, but in no way can you fault the hire. The guy was a defensive success as a coordinator in fact so much so he got the Broyles award for the top coordinator in the nation. It was the classic example of grab a young coach that has had success at the coordinator level at the top level of football while we can - it was a gamble, but one programs at UConn's level routinely take. The sign we all should have taken as a foreshadowing of the nuttiness of Diaco was that he actually took the job. Because if you continue to have success as a coordinator at that level you'll have much better opportunities than UConn post PP or you realize that you're better suited to be a coordinator and be one like Foster or Venables and enjoy a successful career (W/L's and $). BTW I'm not sure RE 2.0 understands how to overcome the challenges he faces now - it's a different conversation than it was back when RE 1.0 was here, a much different conversation. It's baffling that he continues to invite unneeded scrutiny and criticism with his dopey comments and what I perceive as an inability to own errors is beyond me - stop with the excuses man, holy hell. Own the failings of YOUR program and put your head down and go to work. [/QUOTE]
