Who'd You Get?

[Chin Diesel]

For the #firediaco crowd, who'd you go after?

I'd reach out to TJ Weist. He was handed a real , didn't complain, didn't blame players or the previous staff. He rolled up his sleeves and within 6 weeks in mid-season, he had a 21st C offense that was exciting and utilized his players skills.

Weist or a succesful MAC offensive coach.

Diaco gets the rest of the season and this team could be good. They,showed it today but man he was bad today.

I would welcome TJ back with open arms. Last few games TJ coached were exciting and we actually had an offense.

Diaco coaching is just embarrassing.

He needs someone that has a knowledge of running an offense. Bob is just a cheerleader. Someone better on defense and special teams too. This was a winnable game.

I'll keep saying it, Joe Moorhead. TJ's spread was nice, but Joe has both a great offensive mind and a four season-long track record of winning games as HC.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Weist without question.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Edsall if he'd come back.

 

[Excalibur]

Edsall if he'd come back.

Hiring edsall now would be like hiring P. Old, failed at last job.

People are also forgetting that Weist had his own issues with clock management (remember the end of that USF game?). Obviously things improved over the next seven games, but I want our next guy to be able to make the right decision in his sleep.

Agree TJ screwed the pooch against USF. Difference is he learned. Three years in and Diaco is still making the same mistakes.

If they would pay him $3 million a year -- I would get Lane Kiffin as UConn's head coach.

What is this word "improve" when applied to clock management? After 2+ years of Diaco I don't understand the concept.

 

[BlueDogs]

Give me TJ. No nonsense, good offensive mind, short sleeved hard nosed real deal that gets players playing from snap 1.

 

[TRest]

Art Briles. Show them we will cut corners for football success like the P5 desires.

I was reading the Rutgers board this morning and they were complaining about the new coach claiming the last regime sucked on conditioning and he was going to make it a priority. Then they looked small and slow in the first game. Reminded me of Diaco.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I doubt we have the money in our piggy bank to pay Briles, but if so, it's not even a question. He'd bring a brand of fun, winning football, that people would pay to watch.

Both TJ and Joe Moorehead would be better. USF is blowing out Northern Illinois right now on CBSSN with their former FCS coach. Their offense look much more dynamic than ours.

There are plenty of coaches that would love to get this job that's better than Diaco with in-game coaching. I am pissed he is using us as hid guinea pig on learning football 101.

Not to mention that I remember too many games that ended just like this one when Edsall was that the helm. It's actually super weird. I used to get upset at these kinds of loses...but now it feels like home?

 

[Doggie Style]

I'll take anyone Benedict can bring in from Auburn or the SEC.... Disco should be on the clock at this point!
