Are we really looking fondly at the Diaco era? Best motivator? That team quit on him by the end of his final season. His recruiting was abysmal, we've all seen the talent level the last few years. The best players on his bowl team were Pasqualoni recruits, hell the best players on the final season's team were Pasqualoni recruits. He refused to bring in Kiil to help run the offense, successfully ran off Tim Boyle. His high-water mark for offense was 320 yards a game (and that was in a season where we went 3+ games without a touchdown). Edsall's worst season offensively (this past season FWIW) was at 345. Diaco's vaunted defense gave up 420 yards a game in his final season (having progressively gotten worse as the Pasqualoni recruits graduated)... and as bad as things were this year, Edsall's defense was only 40 yards off that mark.

The last three year's have stunk.. but lets not be crazy; if Diaco was still here, the team, as rough as things have been, would almost certainly be even worse.

Y’all seen the UConnFootballTransferPortal on Twitter? Is it really a former player? Someone trolling Diaco? Trolling Edsall?

Wow..Just looked it up. Sounds like one of the teams transfer players who wanted to air it all out..there was a division. Hopefully that’s behind us now,..

The last 24 seconds of the Navy game is all I need to see. As far as the Twitter page, maybe If they loved Diaco so much, they wouldn’t have quit on him, which they did. Either a troll or a coward, either way not worth my time, and nobody is asking why these kids are leaving, besides one or two, they just are not good enough.

Well, well, well, some former player is running a pro Disastro / anti Edsall troll account.

For starters it has Summers pic in the headshot... but the tweets suggest it was someone that just departed.

Frankly this account shows you just how divided the house has been. Amazing they got any commits the last two years with malcontents like this lining the huddle.

Bitterness like this isn’t going away - these guys think they were FBS quality robbed by mismanagement. Yikes.

I’m glad they are gone. Best for everyone. I’m not relieving Edsall of any excuses- but I know what my eyes saw these past four to six years and it wasn’t strictly a coaching issue. Slow is slow.

Crap like this continues to fester and it’s going to make it awkward for the school to promote the NFL and CFL guys who have taken shots at the program going forward.

I have to say, that account is disturbing. Disgruntled former player or Mrs. Diaco, it doesn't look good and p1sses me off.
Makes me wonder if they can make a tiny bit more progress in 2020 than expectations because the internal haters are gone.

Yes. And i agree with @Exit 4 , but Randy didn't have to say they sucked every time he took the mic either. People had eyes and those that care enough to still be here knew they had to cycle the roster over. This is a bit of, you reap what you sow. Ill be glad when this era is completely turned over.

Randy isn’t clean here- he could have more deftly managed certain elements of this makeover. I think it’s a lock Randy himself would have done things differently in a do over coaching wise. Don’t think the 3-3-5 would have happened.

Side bar- I also think he’s redoubled his effort to find guys in the 2019 and 2020 classes that will mesh with his approach.

This just further justifies Edsall moving guys along. As for Diaco, he's sliding down the coaching ladder faster than anyone I've ever seen. His career is Marty McFly before his Mom and Dad kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

Here is a list of every defensive lineman recruited by Bob Diaco:

Sheridan Lawley
David Ryslik
Dallas Parker
Felton Blackwell
Connor Freeborn
Kevin Murphy
Noel Brouse
AJ Garson

Not Kidding, this is all of them. Luke Carrezola committed to PP and Diaco turned him into a LB.

Diaco Recruited three RB's:

Nate Hopkins
Vickers
Ron Johnson.

Newsome was a PP recruit inherited by Diaco.

I have no problem with some of the guys who played for Disastor liking him. What I don't understand is hanging around for 3 years getting a free eduction, then leaving while bad mouthing the school. If things were so terrible without red pants, then why stick around? They have no credibility at all. Put on your big boy pants and grow up.

My favorite in that Twitter account is when they are listing off all the people who could have gone elsewhere but then moved on. Then they list Jay Rose....last I checked, he's still here.....unless I missed something???

If anyone cares enough it would be great to drop that Diacoism YouTube clip in there for them to feast on when they are quoting all these "great" quotes. Lol.

If this account is legit, then we recruited a lot of naive kids under Diaco who drank a lot of the Kool aid. Good gracious.

You stick around 'cause you want to finish your degree at UConn. Not many (or any) were career football players. Seems like players "not fitting in" follows HCREDreamJob1.0 and HCRE2.0 around. Guess its all on them and none on him.
