OT - RU Commits Bailing?

Looks like RU just hired their coach-in-waiting.

At 66? I hope that JH's not that stupid to make RF her "signature signing" or "homerun" !! I think he turned down several higher profile opportunities but wants payback to Md whose diploma he burned ha ha. Did'nt PSU's new coach Franklin work under him too?I heard he lost 60lbs too?

The guy's been here a month, he's ecstatic about being here, he's become the face of UConn athletics, signed on for 5, and we already have a post worried about him leaving. Being a UConn fan can be draining.

We've had like a million of those.

If they go get Diaco, that's fine with me because it means he's done some great stuff here. We'll just turn around and throw money at another top coaching candidate. WM did a good job with this one. I have faith.

What's more important 2-3 years from now, who our coach is or how or football team is? and both is not an answer. It's the latter.

Thats a good way to look at it the way coach's bounce around today. As long as he leaves the roster stocked with good/great talent and get's to the point where he's a hot commodity for his job here it'll be a great tradeoff but until then he's here building the UConn brand/image in CFB. Conference affiliation and CR is the B1G concern for now.

They need to do a better job w/ kids that come from OOS to do a PG year @ the Avons/Salisburys/Choates/Cheshire Acad., etc... It seems like if you don't have the relationship before they get here - you are @ a distinct disadvantage.

The private schools in CT have some talent. Amazes me that the CT can't see its way to including these kids in all-state and other types of awards. For the record, we did offer a 15 Choate athlete, so maybe Diaco will look near and far for D1 talent. Heck, he could take in a K-O game in West Hartford and see some legit talent being recruited to play elsewhere - and they are CT kids.

Fair. I was thinking she now had a mid-year replacement, if necessary, not long-term.

>>"They fired coach Robo. He was a huge coach there for me and he was the guy that recruited me. Coach (Ron) Prince left also, so the two coaches that recruited me to come up there are gone. I didn't really feel the same connections with the other coaches that were up there so that was a big reason."<<

Can they go for the Baker's Dozen?

Maybe they can bring Ray Rice back to do some motivational speaking and shore everything up.

Bring Ray's girlfriend too and run a couple drills with her as the training dummy.
