We're really going to beat this to death again this year?

Diaco on fire in here, folks "I'm just talking honestly is that swagger?" Yes it is... #UConnFootball

Diaco also said his safeties are the best tandem in the conference. "Name me a better one."

At this stage in the rebuild, its probably the only way to approach the season.

 

[Adios]

It's the only way to approach ANY game.

This is old news if you've read anything @UConnDan97 has posted over the last few years.

encouraging words... I don't remember hearing this kind of talk around this time last season...

 

[junglehusky]

So the question is: in this situation would Diaco be Meek Mill, or Drake?

I withdraw my joke. I didn't see that UConn Football Facts tweeted it last night. #GreatMinds

Lot of big statements from the last place team.

Am I supposed to be fired up my head coach said he's expectations are to win games?

My mind is blown!

It's going to be a long day for me. Diaco will say some ridiculous things and posters will get chubbies while completely forgetting about last year. Might be best for me to take the day off.

Misheard Diaco on Thomas: "If Noel Thomas is not one of the most dominant wide receivers in the country that's on him." Misheard as "on me."

Well that is different from last year from the perception that reigned down about 'preseason.'

Yeah but it's an ironic chubby. Unless they actually live up to the ridiculous statements, then it will be a non-ironic chubby.

It's good to have confidence and instill confidence, if it doesn't reach no one else, at least it hits the players. Would you rather hear, 'well we finished 2-10 last year and we only got 42 votes in getting picked last by the media, so we might as well throw it in now?'

Rex Ryan has nothing on Bob Diaco.

Basically, Diaco does not care what anybody thinks. Good attitude.

I stopped caring one iota about what Diaco says sometime around the end of Sept last year. It's the reactions of posters that will be priceless given the rhetoric we heard last year vs. the results.

And yes, I still firmly believe that winning games wasn't a priority last year. And I hope that was the case and he's learned from it. Because if he actually WAS trying to win some of those games, we have much bigger problems than I thought.

Maybe I'm drinking the koolaid a little more than others... We really didn't show much on film last year guys...We looked lost out there ... Got no choice but to believe this HCBD at this point.. if we come out the gate 1-1 or 0-2 then you gotta believe he's nothing but a good car salesman....

I hear you. Even I admit now that development was priority 1 a year ago, but they still were trying to win while developing, that's where the disconnect got lost.

Was it perception or the fact he outright said it and coached accordingly?
