Seriously? 5 games in?I was wrong. Time to pull the plug on the cray HCBD experiment. He is clearly in above his head

It was honestly so bad that even Joe D had little, to no excitement doing the play by play. He sounded so defeated it was amazing. When UConn recovered the bobbled punt and then missed the long FG Joe D literally was just like, "UConn can't walk away without points", Puyol missed and Joe D says in a monotone voice, "Yup he missed it wide left". I've never heard him so defeated sounding, even when bad plays happen he has pitch in his voice. It's gotta be grueling for him to have to call these games this year.First time I've ever left a game early. Guess I'm a bad fan, but just couldn't watch anymore.
We don't have five years to get this right.
The odds on upward mobility in terms of a power conference are long enough as it is and even those long odds are predicated on the football program actually showing competence.
If he's the wrong guy, and people in the athletic department would know far better than we do, better to make the call at the end of the year and move on whatever the costs. We can't tread water at this level without drowning for good and for ever.
Personally, I don't want to see him fired, but holy s---, he's produced a train wreck like I never imagined.

John said:you cannot fire a football coach with only one year in. OMG, we would be the laughingstock of college football
lol at the idea that we aren't that already

So the players left behind by the tyrant PPGDL are not responsible for this mess, but Diaco is? It has nothing to do with a bad OL, with no depth? It has nothing to do with losing our starting QB?
While Diaco is a different duck, anyone who thinks any coach could have done any better, is crazy. PP left the cupboard bare on the OL, period, end of story.
Diaco inherited a broken team who is starting to show signs of reverting back to expecting the worst to happen.
So many people on here think a coach can walk in and take a horrible team and in less than 1 year make them winners.
We all had hope but the reality is we have a very bad offensive line and that just knocks the whole team out of whack.
The sad part is it takes more than 1 or 2 years to build a decent OL.

This is where the problem and concern lies and I agree 100%. A "broken" team should be showing some improvement game after game if they are being "healed". What we're seeing is the complete opposite. That's not a sign of a broken team, that's a sign of a coaching staff that can't work with what they have.We are getting worse. Every week.
I thought we'd win 4 maybe 5 games. This is so much worse than I ever imagined possible and Diaco bares a lot of the responsibility. I'm sick of hearing about what a broken program he inherited. We can't block Stony Brook. I'm sick of hearing about the youth. This is embarrassing.
I'm not ready to proclaim him a bust hire but my God every week I get closer and closer. We are getting worse. Every week.
you cannot fire a football coach with only one year in. OMG, we would be the laughingstock of college football and no coach worth his stones would come near us after seeing the administration hatchet some guy after giving him so little time to succeed. If you want to doom us from ever getting to P5, then by all means, fire the guy after this season.
The real question is, would the schmuck that followed such an unfortunate firing be better than the current crew?
I can't say you can convince me either way. Say you replaced him with Richie Kotite (who would surely take the job). I'm not convinced that Kotite couldn't do a better job.
