We tried to tell you about that nut job...I'm sorry that you're now seeing the dumpster fire that he brings. Hopefully he's out sooner rather than later. Feel bad for anyone who has to deal with that guy.

He really does. And you'll find that he's an absolute jerk as well. The whole 'positive energy' thing is all a show. You'll see his true colors when the going gets tough. Last week was a prime example. Don't be surprised if this week's comments by BD are twice as ridiculous as last week's. He gets worse as time goes on.

As a UConn fan, I must say I'm enjoying this. I can't wait for this Diaco post-game presser. Sorry, guys. We tried to tell you...

So, I've been in the same position as you all, and early on in Diaco's tenure I had a lot of the same thoughts as you all. I appreciated Bob's energy and funny soundbites. The first time an issue with the press came up, I figured it was just the CT news guys being curmudgeons. I sort of ignored the idiocy or childlike behavior until it was evident that our team was awful and BD was unwilling to adapt or change from his narrow vision in any way, shape or form. This week you saw a typical Bob Diaco defensive gameplan--it's not gonna change. He will consistently play DBs 10 yards off the line of scrimmage, regardless of opponent. He will never bring pressure. You will stay in base defense. His one strength will be a strong rush defense, as someone alluded to earlier in this thread. When he fails, he'll be incredibly defensive and come up with every excuse in the book, and will even somehow believe that his unit was successful. I predict that this is just the first instance in a long line of disappointments and bizarre happenings. I say none of this to incite you guys, but just to sort of come to you as a fellow football fan and let you know how incredibly frustrating the guy is, and really how unstable of a guy he is. I've never seen anything like it, and I've sat through plenty of bad football. If you all are smart, you won't give him the benefit of the doubt for long. Hope he leaves sooner rather than later. When I saw what you guys paid him, I really couldn't believe it. In any case, good luck this season. I hope that you guys can win in spite of Diaco. If you guys have any questions about what to expect moving forward or more about what we saw at UConn, feel free to ask. And if you think I'm just a pissed off fan who dislikes his former coach, that's cool too--you'll see in time!
