Strange timing to say the least.

 

[KellySyracuse]

I guess the buyout on his contract became less after New Years. Still, odd timing. All the better coaches have already moved up.

Edited to allow that Moorhead would be intriguing, but that is a tiiiiiight recruiting window.

they canned him the day after Christmas but it's not official until Jan 2, dropping the buyout by a couple of million. Diaco was an idiot but holy cow UConn, what a way to really screw someone over. Especially given this late in the year.

So let me get this straight. They publicly announce his firing on the 26th, but it's not official until a week later. How do you publicly fire someone unofficially? If I'm Diaco, I go after every penny, especially considering how the late firing him makes it difficult for him to find another job this year.

This is the UConn circus we are talking about. I wonder if it's s buyout thing but that seems like it would be easy to challenge legally.. Moorhead can be hired as soon as 1-3 (bowl game is on 1-2) soooooo

i'm not sure how any coach could look at their roster, incoming recruits, and the way they just treated diaco and think "yeah, that place will be good for my career"

Damn, I was really looking forward to CFB on Nickelodeon.

Career killer. Moorhead would be an idiot to go to UConn. When he was the HC at Fordham sure but not now.

Boneyard is already melting down over this possibility.

 

[BKCuse]

Met Diaco a couple times, he was an arrogant pr-ck, couldn't happen to a more deserving guy

I hope he takes his Civil Conflict trophy as a parting gift.

 

[OrangePA]

Maybe Robert Burton will finally be named HC!

 

[Jake]

Can't wait for the wall to go up around Connecticut

 

[orangeinjersey]

Schiano would be an idiot to take that job.

 

[Moontan]

Go for Kiffin or a top FCS coach.
That or Briles...

 

[orangenauburn]

Schiano would be a steal for them. He'd have them competitive in AAC quickly.

That said he would be dumb to take

 

[RF2044]

Sorry if posted, didn't see a thread about this.

Only gave him 3 years.

Good post, he was neurotic and a defensive meathead.

Bingo, Schiano would be a huge hire for UConn. Instant credibility, solid recruiter, knows how to get bowl eligible against soft schedules. Exactly the kind of guy they need.

From Schinaos perspective, hes gott abe thinking, i took Rutgers from the bowels of College Football to Thursday night espn the ocho, i can do the same at UCONN.

 

[Moontan]

Kind of surprising that Al Golden's name hasn't come up anywhere...

 

[Trueblue25]

HCSS??
