There is just no way he should coach next week

[Skiblets]

We have not scored in almost a month. No way. Fire him tonight

No. We need to fire him after new year's to save almost 2 million. Then hire Fleck or Toledo's coach.

 

[BlueDogs]

Agree 100%. Not one more game. At minimum, he needs to be pulled off the sidelines and put on ice until he is formally let go in January. A search needs to start tonight.

 

[Carl Spackler]

Never mind tonight or next week, Benedict should have been standing at the door of the team bus, and not allowed him to leave the stadium with the team.

Furthermore, every player should have been told by Benedict directly as they stepped on the team bus, the calendar date that scholarships are up for renewal.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

It would cost us literally $1.6 million to fire him this week as opposed to January 1. A meaningless game is not worth that.

 

[Skiblets]

Maybe Diaco just takes a sick day next Saturday?

So fire him Jan. 2nd. He still shouldn't be allowed on the team bus, and every player needs a message that their scholarship is worth money.

The players efforts have been wasted under this coach. They are the collateral damage. January. Inaction will cost us more than letting him continue. Other Coaches understand this is unacceptable. The program is at risk.

He absolutely should be fired on January 2.

He's the Dom Perno of Uconn football. Nice guy who can't head coach a lick

But he is going for the scoreless record!

Dom Perno was much better. Diaco is the worst coach in college football.

 

[JSM1970]

So, when Herman goes to LSU, USC or some other big job Fleck would take the UConn job over Houston?

No. We need to fire him after new year's to save almost 2 million. Then hire Fleck or Toledo's coach.

No, that's why I included Candle (Toledo) as a backup plan.

 

[The Viking]

The second he won the toss and decided to take the ball I knew we were on for another 60 minutes of Diaco craziness
I was hoping for at least five minutes I could be free of his absurdity
Nopr

Thanks hound that's not a very nice thing to do to Dom. Hey I was a supporter, even tried to hang in after 3 games but he is downright embarrassing at this point and not at all capable of being a HC.

Fleck is getting a p5 job.

 

[willie99]

Let him coach the "Cheer Squad" until January

win win

 

[UC1995]

Pull a Kiffen and not let him back on the bus!

 

[Dooley]

The problem with waiting until Jan 2 is that the candidate pool will be diminished by the time we get there. If we have even the slightest glimmer of a chance of hiring a PJ Fleck type of coach, I would think that we would need to get out in the front of the P5's that surely want to hire him too. Give us a chance to recruit ourselves to him while putting together the type of money necessary to lure him and a good staff.

 

[Pudge]

just the little smidge of pragmatism here ...

Nobody around to write the check we want to get this done. O ... and I really don't care about the candidate pool, there are plenty of guys that would step in and improve this.

 

[06029]

Neither of those guys will make a lateral move to the AAC

No. We need to fire him after new year's to save almost 2 million. Then hire Fleck or Toledo's coach.

guys, for the 1,000,000th time, a serious football program does not wait six weeks after the season to fire a coach who obviously should be fired. Just because Herbst/Benedict/Warde got sucked in by a stupid agent's sales job doesn't mean you double down on the mistake by waiting six precious recruiting weeks to save $1.6 million, which, while not insignificant, is small compared to the millions at stake in conference realignment, etc. Plus you unnecessarily leave someone twisting in the wind and as bad as Diaco has coached this year, he doesn't deserve that. Yes, it sucks, and someone needs to hold Herbst and Benedict accountable for entering into a stupid deal, but wait six weeks? Talk about penny-wise and pound foolish.

 

[Papadukes]

I drove home from work about an hour ago and kept thinking Diaco better be fired before I go to bed tonight. It's up the Benedict and friends to figure this out but I never want to see or hear anything related to Diaco unless it's he's gone

We aren't a serious program and look at the CT state budget & the projections for the future before you pledge $1.6m that doesn't exist.
