Diaco stunk it up on Friday. Bad calls, poor preparation, and a terrible press conference afterwards. Luckily, UConn was playing against a class act like Mendenhall because BYU could have beat UConn by 50. Diaco looked like a guy coaching his first game. I don't think there is much of a silver lining other than next week is a new week.
We knew going in that it would be a bumpy ride with a first time Head Coach, and there will be more head scratching moments as Diaco figures out how to be a head coach. First time coaches will struggle at times. Ollie's loss to Stanford in December was one of the worst coached games I have ever seen, and Ollie didn't bathe himself in glory on New Year's Eve either, yet things turned out ok for us there. Chip Kelly's first game at Oregon ended with a National Championship contender not only losing to Boise, but then starting a brawl while walking off the field.
I don't know if Diaco will be successful, but I do know there will be more WTF moments this season. It comes with the territory of a first time coach.
