Exactly how many HOURS went by in between Narduzzi and Diaco, exactly?

C'mon, man. I remember writing a post when the news broke about Lembo that I was lukewarm on him but I wanted to congratulate him anyways, and then I had to place an edit in that same exact post because a tweet came out immediately that it wasn't true...

Please. Not many hours, but everyone assumed Lembo was the guy, just like you did. Diaco was at best the tertiary guy. Nobody every said Diaco was a long shot because we never discussed him all that much.

And if Diaco is a long shot, then Meyer and BB are that times a million.

We were elated because we didn't realize how great the guy was and the more we learned about him the more we liked him. I am glad Narduzzi stayed put. I think Diaco will be a better head coach than he was a coordinator. He is the type of leader who does better with each successive promotion.

I am happy we got him, but if he is good then I doubt we have him longer than 3-4 years. I am ok with that.

Since we don't have a bowl game to discuss, because Warde screwed up and didn't fire PGDL last year, we're discussing a former UConn OC who has been really successful and still has a playoff game or two in front of him. He may be a stronger candidate the next time around.

Is that ok with you? What else should we talk about? What type of product Diaco uses in his hair? His wife? His collection of rare goldfish?

Uggh. Here we go:

1) I assumed Lembo was the guy for a grand total of 10 minutes. I made the correction to that assumption in minute 11.
2) My Meyer comment was a sarcastic joke. The fact that you couldn't understand that is mesmerizing.
3) The more we learned about him??? The INSTANTANEOUS reaction was a resounding YES! If you don't believe me, take a look at the Diaco thread. The national reaction was equally as potent.
4) Feel free to doubt if he'll be here longer than 3-4 years.
5) Feel free to discuss a former UConn OC and whether or not he will be a stronger candidate next time.
6) Feel free to discuss Diaco's hair.

I still don't believe you. I probably even posted in that thread. He was never thought of as a long shot because he wasn't really thought of. FACT. Like I said he was at best the tertiary consideration on this board, which as I indicated does not define reality.

You don't believe me about what? The fact that I only assumed Lembo was the pick for a very very short time or the fact that the board's reaction was overwhelmingly positive, to the point of people posting things like "we haven't all agreed to this degree on something since PPGDL were let go"? I can assure you that both are true...whether you believe it or not...

Addendum:
Just in case you don't believe me about my short belief in Lembo, here is my exact quote from the Lembo thread, page 1:

"Well, I hope my lukewarm impression of him gets proven wrong, if he is indeed our new coach. Here's to Lembo going "13-0"!!!

EDIT: I just read the tweet above me. I'll fill my whiskey glass for yet another long night..."

I don't believe your ridiculous assertion that we thought Diaco was a longshot. What I am saying is most people here didn't think about him much at all. The focus was on Narduzzi, Lembo, and even some Clawson before Wake hired him.

The focus was on Narduzzi, Lembo, Clawson, and TJ. Nobody is friggin' disputing that! But Diaco was discussed as well. It was thought that Narduzzi, Herman, and Diaco were all longshots, along with Mullen. It wasn't until very late in the process that it was even thought possible that we were in the running for Narduzzi, and that is what fueled the heavy discussion around him. Christ, up until the point in time that we heard rumors about the possibility of Narduzzi, we had talked equally as much about Quinn!

Let it go, man. Let it go...

It was more likely that Diaco seemed like a longshot to get the job not longshot to accept it. Please you sound crazy.
 
Are ZooCougar and UConnDan97 really the same person with seperate e-mail addresses? If so, your tit for tat is very entertaining. If not you're both entertaining. :-)
On another note I don't think you'll see Rob back at Catholic U where he had his first HC gig.
