Winning the press conference.

This keeps playing in my head. All sizzle and no steak.

Bob Diaco speaks Latin, references Garth Brooks and wins his first press conference at UConn - FootballScoop

New UConn coach Bob Diaco dominated his first press conference

Good call, but this one is louder

Benedict's First Big Move At UConn: Extending Diaco's Contract Through 2020

From the article:
Diaco on the demand of UConn season tickets: “Get the ticket while you can because soon you won’t be able to get it.”

Benedict did a dumb thing but the blame for this goes squarely on well known football guy Warde Manuel. Too bad he didn't go to the Bahamas when they were hiring a football coach

Agreed but the $5M buyout gave BD a comfort level he really didn't deserve. Spent more time trying to reinvent football this year rather than winning games

Diaco reminds me of that guy that tried to sell us vacation time-shares--at least they paid us $75 to listen to their *&^%$#*&.

How long was it for? Under three hours. If so, you jipped them.

Diaco sounds like Bobby Valentine right before he was fired by the Mets, dazed and confused.UConn IMG Sports Network

Yup. Sounded humbled and beaten.

Said their back to starting over from scratch, fwiw.

The least we could do at this point is to demote Shirreffs, get Anderson 1st team reps and start him for the rest of the season. I was a big booster of BS but he is so flawed and like BD is regressing.

Humble and Beaten?????
He should be
Same ole conservative play calling, misuse of TOs, has this guy a clue??????
I'm tired of HCBD and even though the payout will hurt - HE NEEDS TO GO
Today has to be the worst display of UConn football in years

We may not agree on stuff about the hockey program..but on this point you are 100% dead on target! Excellent post @TheDoggPound !

Thanks FD, at the end of the day both of us want what's best for all athletic program's even if we disagree on 1 or 2 things.

He doesn't look off player and throws to Thomas almost all the time. Not sure why he doesn't look elsewhere.

He can't...Dave Doren wanted to move him to FB at NC St for a reason. He is just not a good QB.

Who knows he's very erratic with his decision making. Earlier in the year he was always in a rush to take off and run now it's like he says screw it and just takes sacks. He hasn't been able to find the right balance in his play and decision making rendering him ineffective. Plus he can't throw the ball downfield which with this team would be a godsend since teams stack the box against us and we are starved for big plays.

 

[TheDoggPound]

And I'm of the opinion that Mayala and Beals aren't bad players and our TE stable is solid. I also think our line has done a decent job of giving him time this season, he just can't put it together.

He is not a smart QB and his instincts are really bad. His arm is poor. Diaco made a horrible evaluation - I said so at the time and believe it even more now.

It takes a man to admit his mistakes.
