"The team that was voted to finish last we're going to go undefeated and go to the playoffs and win the national championship. Yeah. That's the answer." -- THIS is the kind of moxie that we've needed from our head football coach and this program for years. Just glad Diaco is here. It will take time, but this entire program will get better each year under HCBD. I think in his first year, considering the dumpster fire that FHCPP and GDL left for him in Storrs, and the under estimation of the work that needed to be done to re-build the program and bring it up to 2015 D1 FBS football standards, and the fact that there wasn't really enough time to recruit his own guys, AND that there may have been issues with assimulating/changing cultures inside that locker room... it was a miricle that we were able to post 2 victories last season!
That being siad, I think we need to go 6-6 this year and go bowling to try and make a strong reason why UConn deserves to be back in the national CR conversation again (not to make this all about CR, but). Winning takes care of so much, season ticket sales, recruiting, national TV coverage, national interest and media attention. ALL things that UConn desperatly needs right now, and what Diaco is trying to cultivate. #TrustInDiaco
